Could you tell me what I’m doing wrong in my test? The regulator/rectifier was a new original Kohler item. more

[ShadowOfHarbringer]

1. I hooked up my multimeter to the rectifier-regulator plug A/C terminals and ran the engine at 3600 RPM which displayed 43 volts AC. (I've read that I should have at least 28 volts AC. Could the regulator be putting out too much A/C?)
2. I then attached the rectifier-regulator to the engine making certain that it was well grounded. See attached photo.
3. I then connected a red wire from one (out-) side of the rectifier-regulator plug to one side of the A/C terminal of the rectifier-regulator. See attached photo.
4. I then connected a black wire from the other (out-) side of the rectifier-regulator plug to the other outside A/C terminal.
5. Next, I switched my multimeter to DC and placed the red lead to the middle B+ terminal and touched the black lead to the engine (in several spots). However, I only got a reading of .02 Volts DC.

I went ahead and attempted to fully install the regulator/rectifier, but the battery did not indicate that it was charging. more

A bit of occasional�blue smoke isn't an issue.� I operated some OPE engines that puffed blue every time I changed the throttle setting.� As long as the engine is making good power, and not constantly blowing blue smoke, don't worry about it.� Keep your oil clean and check the level�frequently until you get a feel for it's oil consumption.� �Check it before every use.� I recommend synthetic oil for cold weather�equipment.� ���� more

�� Some motors get a low compression test reading but do fine on a leakdown. � If an engine gets a high reading then it�s probably ok. � But a low reading does not necessarily KO the engine. � It could be the compression release on that engine won�t allow a higher reading. [links]

�� Over the last year talked to a number of dealers, perused the net and in general the low number for a healthy engine is all over the place, 50, 60, 70, and 90. � This is the first time I�ve seen 100 as a motor to stay away from. more

I found that my "new to me" Toro 824 Power Shift blows some blue smoke after I come off idle to full throttle.� It only lasts for a second or so.� I havent ran it long enough yet to see just how much it is burning to a tank of gas� Is there a way to determine if its rings or valve guides?� What is the procedure for checking the compression and what are the specs for it?

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot starting problems and get your cold-weather friend running smoothly again before the next snowstorm. here

Ensure the spark plug hasn't come loose or completely unattached, and check for dirt and debris caked on it. You may have to clean it and make sure the gap is correct. If that doesn’t rectify the problem, it should probably be replaced.

The type of snowblower you use depends largely on the conditions in your area, namely the severity of the winters and the character of the terrain. There are three basic designs to choose from based on your needs.

[cyclonite]

Check the throttle and choke positions. When you start the engine, make sure the throttle is in the "fast" position. The proper position of the choke depends on whether the engine is hot or cold: it should be open for the former and closed for the latter. here

A single-stage gas blower is smaller, easier to handle, and relies on a rubber-tipped auger alone to gather and disperse snow. Most models have a 21-inch clearing width. more
