Qualcast mower engine problems
Hi,
My Dad's acquired a Qualcast 35c Petrol mower and he's having trouble getting it to work. The manual he has keeps referring to the engine manual but he doesn't have an engine manual. We've searched the Qualcast site but they only show the manuals he already has. Does anyone here know where we may be able to get the engine manual from? thanks in anticipation MikeB

They possibly fitted something from the Briggs and Stratton range of small motors for lawn mowers. - maybe the Classic/Sprint/Quattro range http://www.briggsandstratton.com/om/pdfs/100/MS3479-GB.pdf http://www.briggsandstratton.com If it's not Briggs and Stratton it is likely a motor from another well known manufacturer. Check the motor itself for the makers name/model. -- Alan news2006 {at} amac {dot} f2s {dot} com

Check the motor itself for the makers name/model. Three major problems can hit a mower engine. Water in the fuel after standing (over winter especially) and clogged filters. The other one is timing. When the blade inevitably hits something hard and heavy, the blade can get knocked back a notch or two.

As I think I said, we don't have an engine manual so I'd appreciate any suggestions as to how I cen tell you what engine it is. If you have any ideas as to how we can check, don't hesitate to let me know Rgds, MikeB

The other one is timing. When the blade inevitably hits something hard and heavy, the blade can get knocked back a notch or two. Utter bollox! The timing has NOTHING to do with the blade itself, rather that it is a component associated with the crankshaft and the location of the trigger to the sensor.

When I pointed out the messages on the group, my dad said that he's already looked but could see no perceptible markings of any kind on the engine. He said he'll check again. cheers, MikeB
