Changed the fuel filter and drained old fuel for new and now it's up and running.

Its 10% ethanol fuel with stable. The same fuel is used in my other small engines and works fine, but I suppose it doesn't hurt to try a fresh can.

FD590V engine not starting. It has fuel, spark, good air filter, and 175 and 180 psi compression. I've read these engines have issues with the plastic cam gears, is there a way to check if the any teeth are broken and it skipped without taking the whole engine apart? The engine was running good...

Oil bypass is on delta pressure, not total pressure. If the oil is 100psi on both sides of the valve it's not going to open. It likely opens for a split second at start until the oil pressure equalizes on both sides, which will be very quick because it's already mostly full, it's just...

Not yet, I'm trying to gather as much info as possible before ripping the whole top of the tractor apart. I need to remove the fender (and everything necessary to take that off) to repair the hole anyway, so removing another fender probably isn't much more work to swap a tank.

Previous owner drilled a hole through the back of the tank with a sheet metal screw putting new tail lights on. I had a previous thread asking about possible fixes, but if I can get a newer tank that fits for relatively cheap I'd prefer that over a patch.

From the parts diagram it looks like BX2200 fuel tanks are different than pretty much any later BX series like the BX2350, but I'm not sure if they're entirely not interchangeable. Has anyone put a newer BX tank in an older BX? From the diagram it looks like some things moved like pickup, vent...

I'd prefer not to pay full price if someone had one from a blower they parted out. I could always order one from messicks, but if no one has a used one I'll see if I can repair the one I have before buying new.

Looking for the impeller fan for a BX2750 or equivalent snowblower.

Added the state to original post.

Bought a BX2200 that has all the same attachments, so this is literally just a second set of tools at the moment. I'd rather someone gets good use out of it versus it sitting in my garage collecting dust. Once my BX is done getting some tune ups I won't have a need for this one.

Selling my TG1860G (gas) mower with 54" mower deck, 46" snowblower, and 54" front blade. As far as I know these were all the accessories available for this mower. Has ~790 hours, but will go up since I still use it. Comes with wheel weights, chains, and extra snowblower belts. Snowblower has...

I believe they have a bonded washer. Something like this

Has anyone used Marine Tex or Seal-All? Both seem to be impervious to fuels from what I've found. I bought the permatex plastic tank repair kit above. It says right on the back it's not for plastic fuel tanks, but for radiators and water tanks. That's actually the reason I made this thread. I...
