Lawn mower stator

Oh yeah I doubt a good deal. Infact I would use em both till they are trouble or grenade and then swap a different probably older vanguard or Kawasaki before they got sucky etc. basically whatever you could find that had the same crankshaft output even if it was lower HP. I don’t live residential so that exact situation would mean a different engine of same power or just making it #5 of the riders

we have two John Deere one with a 26hp liquid cooled. And the other is a 20hp. Both Kawasaki.
The old 1988 white we have is a 16hp oppposed Briggs
The other older white from the 60s is collecting dust and 10hp Briggs (gonna make that one a toy and make it nice as can be realisticly)

the skid steer is 20hp Koehler k series. Anyone with an old tractor probably knows what a k series is. Single cylinder ones were the king for a number of years

Flathead go vroom until it bogs down from the oil it’s burning

Are you at all familiar with the Kawasaki FH451V (18hp) from 2001-ish? Mine has trouble. Particularly, the governor has trouble at lower rpms and idle is unstable. I've adjusted the idle settings by the book and adjusted the valves too. I'm guessing something internal is wrong, but I have no idea how small engine stuff works.

Maybe I should start my own thread instead of jacking James' thread

Don’t worry about it, this is the closest thing we have to a lawn mower thread lol.

We have a lawnmower thread, but it’s more pornographic in nature and less about diagnosis…

I think I figured out why it wasn’t charging lol. It’s pretty crispy. Good news is, both mowers are identical. I even swapped over the steering wheel and seat, since my old ones were in better shape. And y’all were right, it was under the fly wheel. Pretty sure one of my steering wheel puller bolts is lost in the motor somewhere, but I cut the whole yard and nothing blew up, so I’ll let it ride. Thanks for everyone’s help.
