Im severely confused! A simple 94 312!
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to AHS's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
I would switch the R and L, move the ground to the side and add a diode to the mag wire at the engine so both blue wires have protection. We do not know where a spike could come from. -

Wheelhorse 312 8 transaxle bracket cracked
ri702bill replied to Wheelhorse3128's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Are you referring to the "F" plate on the frame?? All too common. This is the worst one I came across... Fixable but time consuming. 3 out of 4 crackedout - 2 connected together. -
Wheelhorse 312 8 transaxle bracket cracked
ebinmaine replied to Wheelhorse3128's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Loose? Maybe. Fall OFF?? There are multiple attachment points. I don't see how that would happen. Got pics? -
Hello has anyone experienced the transaxle bracket on a wheelhorse 312 8 cracking and causing the transaxle to be loose or even fall off?

Hey Bar!! Bought it!! This'll most likely be brought up to whatever piece of camp property we end with a couple hours northeast of home. Such an incredibly helpful implement. Definitely justifiable for us as woods folk to have two of them.

Interesting Machine
ri702bill replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I worked for a local Company back in the mid 1980's that manufactured Build-to-order Deep Hole Gundrilling Machines. I spent several weeks in Kokomo Indiana nstalling & training folks how to use & maintain their new transmission shaft Gundrills. Our Machines drilled a 5MM oil hole about 75 MM deep. These machines were part of dedicated Workcells - barstock was fed in one end, finished machined parts out the other. They had an Italian Machine there that did the same straightening thing - rotate the part to locate the highest runout spot, calculate the force & apply it where needed, repeat twice more. If the part was not straight within spec after the third try, it was scrapped. Quick & efficient. The step before the Gundrill was to rollform the splines onto the shaft - one pass revolving the shaft 2 or 3 times under 100 tons of pressure. That process generated NO chips as the metal was upset into shape...- 1 reply

Some of the K series carbs can have a bushing put in at the top. I have not seen a Magnum with this capability though. -

Good to know, my NY Mets have been loosing since 1884! -
I was thinking that. So, my stock ignition, the L kinda has two circuits; lights and regulator. So, im going to switch the L to R on the new switch? It isn’t even in the off position on the 103991. OR (103991) OFF G + M + A. Switching the L to A and adding a diode?

Good advice. Is there a repair kit available that you know of? Yes, 95 (E5) and 98 (E10). We also have synthetic fuels like Aspen, Motomix and others but those are very costly, around €30/5L or around $25/gal. No, this is NOT a typo -

The issues with that "approved" method - it ruined an otherwise good tank. The inner tank was most likely meant for a walk behind lawnmower - it held a QUART of gas! IMHO - not really a fix. Perhaps they should have just ponied up and brought back the 701 / 702 one piece tank??

@bradleydavidgood personally have added a light / medium extension spring to all my , choke / throttle cables , at the opposite end , to pull it closed / stop ? that way you always have a MOVEMENT ASSIST , to any cable movement , of course ,all my cables are lubricated for movement function , https://www.google.com/search?q=light+extension+spring&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS866US866&oq=light+extension+spring+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyCggAEEUYFhge like 3-1 penetrating oil , easy to experiment on this , years in usage , consistently work . pete -
I used this KBS product on a 502 two piecer that @Andy N. now has. I was too sceered to take it apart for fear of bad threads. 'Sides figured by the time I got a gasket from Lowell and Permatex and possibly dealing with bad threads i was ahead. I was sold on this brand since I used it before on a Tecky oval tank that was full of pin holes with great luck. . I soldered up the biggest holes and the ones I missed had the seal gooing out which I considered a good sign. The big thing with this product is use all three components and follow the destructions to the letter. https://www.amazon.com/KBS-Coatings-52000-Sealer-Gallon/dp/B000IBDIX2/ref=sr_1_1?crid=176XR3BJQCOI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.VRrcUbU1iANAvxPODhOQO3xt4DcrZWHcPSX9eZkdvpHNP0AC30S3mP6VPjtv37JPU2A2RJNaGbc8AmnTHRce8DIMeiJSqdUGig2reSj9k6XZhdY1NzqYLYl4jql6C5yxmVYB0ZFbrT28pgq5FqILHabaGezHzaV1IZ2vFvNV3whPFCC_HFrMsqdB4A_bMmbNBSp9eb_Ari5mNfQ_9LednHWKBRRpZeGOY_7yRFFb17yWDM2Gi2bqk0CWJ30gDQHETMdV444TCG6aL54YwpIM6xTZ2Ic3zOJz_dFeuT-MWjM.xIbyvN4P2rS1Xo9cNfEOAlhKVgq439WeW2G6P6b43vI&dib_tag=se&keywords=kbs+tank+sealer+kit&qid=1792930810&sprefix=kbs+tank%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-1&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.9fe8cbfa-bf43-43d1-a707-3f4e65a4b666

RJ Steering Roll Pin Installation
Lane Ranger replied to Lane Ranger's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
i had a few C clamps that i could not get aligned correctly to install the roll pin. I did consider that and put one down under on the black but i did not have enough space or clearance to tighten! -
Yep. brain fart while typing . meant the *COIL* is "recharging" - reaching saturation - Too short of a dwell time, and you get a weak spark because coil isn't fully saturated. - it's not "instant" (even an incandescent light bulb takes time to come up to full brightness, as well as a cooldown time - if lightbulb had a place for that saturation to go instantly , like say, a secondary winding, it'd blink out faster... )

Fixed throttle lever loose: Wheel Horse 414–8
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to bradleydavidgood's topic in Engines
When I do this I use are longer bolt with about 3/8" of unthreaded rod below the head. This way the rotating parts are not pivoting on bolt threads which will cause wear. The unthreaded part extends through the complete assembly plus a bit. Add enough flat washers below the nut so there is room for future adjustment. Cut off the threads that are not used. Reaching in with two wrenches to make future adjustments is a breeze. -
Im severely confused! A simple 94 312!
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to AHS's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
I would add a diode to the magneto wire to prevent any stray voltage from getting back to the magneto. With the M terminal connected to the A terminal in the OFF position it could back feed momentarily releasing the magneto smoke. -

The first switch is the original. The 2nd is a more common magneto switch but the wire locations on the switch would need to be changed. The switch function also changes. -

ebinmaine replied to sjoemie himself's topic in other brands
A thorough cleaning is certainly a matter of maintenance nowadays. Also check the top throttle shaft for looseness both side to side and fore n aft. The governor always pulls the throttle the same way so the shaft tends to wear the carb bore at the top. Do you have ethanol laced fuel there? If so, the carb is undoubtedly needing internal scrubbing.
