Perhaps you should. I could teach you how to have manners and not shoot off your mouth about things you know nothing about. What does it mean to have manners? Having good manners means behaving in a polite, respectful, and considerate way towards others, demonstrating an awareness of social...

Can you post a photo of the solenoid. You are on the right track, it sounds like the pull-in coil is not doing it's job. Is the solenoid a two or three wire ? Make some ohm measurements of the coils to ground. I don't know what the readings should be, but definitely not open. Richard

No need to start calling names, unless you want to go down that street.

I was going to give negative review on the seller of the electronic equipment that I never got, but by the time the dust settled, the seller was no longer on E-bay, so could not mark him as negative.

Looks normal to me. It's a ICE engine with oil and gas everywhere. If it is annoying, don't look at it.

Don't you just love it what problems fix themselves!

Welcome to TBN. I looked up your X300 on the internet and TractorData.com - information on all makes and models of tractors shows the engine to be a Kawasaki FH491V. However, Kawasaki does not show such an engine. Can you let us know what engine is in your tractor. Richard

I don't know what the purpose of that spring, but I think the problem of your tractor not moving is because the tranny is shot. However, that does not explain why the engine will not start. Richard

I also have had a bad experience with a E-Bay purchase. Ordered an expensive electronic instrument and it never was delivered to my house. Apparently after a lot of investigation by the local police and the USPS, it appears that a package with my purchase order number was delivered to an...

Maybe if you let us know what your intended use is, you may get some suggestions. Richard

Are you sure that is is misfiring? It would be strange that it would run good under load but not when the engine is not loaded. Are you confusing engine looping, i.e. engine speeding up and down with no input from the throttle? What engine do you have? Richard

Good going. Wish you good luck with this project.
