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

Possibly because Qualcast don't make the motor. They possibly fitted
something from the Briggs and Stratton range of small motors for lawn
mowers. - maybe the Classic/Sprint/Quattro range

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.

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.

Hi Dave,

I don't know what engine it is. 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

You missed a dead plug.

is timing. When the blade inevitably hits something hard and heavy,

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.

Look at the engine for any words like "Briggs & Stratton", "Honda",
"Techumesh" or a model "Classic", "GXnumber" or even what colour is the
engine block or the cowl.

Dave,

Thanks for that. 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,
