Yard-Man gas walk-behind mower repair and replacement parts

Yard Man gas walk-behind lawn mower frequently replaced parts

• Ignition coil. The ignition coil can be easy to test. If you have a spark plug tester handy, use it to find out if the spark plug is receiving electrical current from your ignition coil. If it's not, then it could be time to replace your ignition coil.
• Carburetor. A clogged carburetor can cause a walk-behind mower to not start, to sputter, to run rough or to stop running after short periods of time. Replacing this part is often less expensive than rebuilding it, although rebuilding is also an option.
• Wheel. Lawn mower wheels wear out due to frequent wear and tear.
• Recoil starter. Replace the recoil starter if it doesn't spin the flywheel to start the engine when you pull the starter rope.

• Position the new blade, blade support and blade bolt on the crankshaft and hand-tighten the blade bolt into the crankshaft. Wedge a block of wood between the mower blade and the deck to keep the blade from turning when you tighten the blade bolt. Tighten the blade bolt to 500 in.-lbs. using a torque wrench. Remove the wood block. Release the mower handle from the worktable and lower the lawn mower to the upright position. Remove the plastic bag from the fuel tank.
