The Courage or the Command? I ‘think’ the courage has a history of the piston pin working out and punching the piston through the block
All that does is boost the cranking amps when the load, starter, calls for more amperage. It works well.
I'll have to do some research to answer that one . . . but the engine model number is SV720S build date is 7/17/2006.
I had the same problem with a Craftsman riding lawnmower. I had to adjust the valves.
Yep. Among other things about it that are crappy. Mine has another common problem that amounts to backfiring after being shutoff immediately after being used heavily. If I let it cool down (idle) for a couple min it is good to go. Factory remedy is to kill the engine at full throttle but that is a joke. On the other hand it has 10 years on it and still runs
Up to now I've only had to replace belts . . . and I think we're on our 4th battery. We're at like 225 hours or so.
Does yours randomly throw belts due to the tension spring on the deck coming loose? That seems to almost happen every time my wife gets on it.
This happens from running into things...........usually when my wife is mowing........ask me how I know lol.
Yep . . . one of the first things I checked . . . still good.
