c-series don 9,105 #51 Posted June 7, 2021 My guess is that the hood is not grounded, I’d take a wire from the negative terminal on the battery to the bolts that hold the headlight bezel in place. If that works then you have a bad connection at the hood hinge. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonnyrocket132 38 #52 Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) that is what I thought to because there wasn't a grounding wire for the lights but after I installed one it still didn't work. so this one has me stumped again. Edited June 8, 2021 by Jonnyrocket132 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonnyrocket132 38 #53 Posted June 10, 2021 I was about to take the engine apart and fix what I thought was the timing was a little off but I fired it up just to be sure and it idled really well and when I revved it it didn't even hesitate or nothing. so it just started running better all of a sudden. also I got the headlights to work and the tail light works to. Now the only thing left to do is get an inner tube for the back right tire. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonnyrocket132 38 #57 Posted June 21, 2021 unfortunately after I tested the pto today with the mower deck the engine started knocking really bad and I only started mowing for a few minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonnyrocket132 38 #58 Posted December 8, 2021 Update on the B 80, I bought another engine rebuild kit since it did end up throwing another newish rod and it survived it so I am gonna try to rebuild it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonnyrocket132 38 #59 Posted December 9, 2021 I installed the new oem rod and new gaskets from the rebuild kit and it runs even better than it did before Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonnyrocket132 38 #61 Posted December 10, 2021 Yeah this one has shown me that it doesn't want to die yet after three different rods letting go and this is the fourth and hopefully the last one that will last Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
