For you mechanics out there. I have a John Deere riding mower I bought off my son. My son bought it off my brother. Anywhos, both of them said it ran great, but once it warmed up, and you shut it off, it wouldn't restart until it cooled off. It sat there for a few years, and I recently had a guy work on it, and another rider that was given to me. He replaced the fuel line, fuel filter, and fuel pump, and said it seemed to be fixed. Apparently he didn't let it run long enough, because today I mowed, shut it off to talk to the neighbor, got back on after about 5 minutes, and sure enough, it wouldn't start. I finished mowing with the other mower, and after I got done, around 20 minutes later, the John Deere fired back up again. Any ideas why it would do this? I Googled it, and found one instance of the same thing happening with the same mower, without any solution. It's a John Deere 165, and has a Kawasaki FB460V engine.

Worldwood, I used 80crv2 and 1/8" stock, I think my next batch I might go with 5/32" or 1/4". I was mainly going for fast light duty camp Hawk on these.

Try starting here; might give you some ideas. I have a Honda riding mower that is just sitting right now because I don't have the time to fix it, I don't really need it (probably the walk behind is more needed as exercise) and I won't take it somewhere to have it fixed (in reality that someone would have to come and get it first) because, you know, I'm (most likely) capable of DIY. The free (trash picked) Craftsman walk behind I got last summer works awesome. Actually, I'd like to fix the Honda riding mower and sell it. It's taking up too much room in the shed and it's made the floor of the POS shed bend in a frightening manner. For the last couple winters I was figuring I'd find it dropped through the floor come spring.
 
Thanks gsom. They mentioned the valves, something I had read earlier. Probably the culprit.
 
My father keeps talking about buying one of those zero turn John Deere mowers... I'm hoping he hurries and buys one... That way i can have his craftsman riding mower. :D

I dont have any mower... A little more than 2 acres... Push mower is more work than i wanna do. But between my father's craftsman and Curts husqavana i get my yard mowed.

About time for it again too...
 
Went on another hunt to the same spot today. Not a lot of complete teeth. Most were broken, sadly. The machineso on this construction site have been driving over the layer we scoop up. This makes it a bit more easy to collect, cause the layer is pretty hard, but everything's busted now. I did save a good tooth from going underneath the concrete. My biggest one of this species yet. Just slightly under 8cm.

On the left there's my big lower jaw mako tooth from last Thursday. On the right is the upper jaw mako I found today.





And two a bit more rare species. Isurus escheri on the left, Hexanchus gigas on the right.


Gonna go back on Sunday. Maybe even Saturday, we'll see.

:thumbup: those look fantastic! That cottonwood pollen looks like snow, if I didn't know it was in the 80s here right now I'd think it was below freezing where you are.
 
That's actually a rock that it's sitting on. But it does kinda look like snow.
