My John Deere X300 has a Kawasaki FH491V 2 cylinder engine. Recently I have been getting gas in the crankcase. So far I have replaced the fuel pump, as there is a hose from the pump to the crankcase which operates the fuel pump diaphragm. I am still getting an over full crankcase with a gas smell and the engine does seem to use more gas than usual.
The problem still seems to be there. The engine starts and runs ok, other than a lack of power at times. In the summer, when I first activate the mower deck, the engine doesn't come up to speed right away and bogs down too easily. This problem comes and goes and may or may not have anything to do with the gas in oil problem.
Any ideas.....................?
