Briggs 44S777-0016-G1 23hp
On a Husqvarna Z346
Ok, I've been had. Good one fella's. Jokes on me. Har har.
That thing that was posted about how a oil dip stick will flop around if it's got a bad head gasket, well I tried it on this one, and it did just that. But I also tried it on another piece of equipment that I knew for a fact didn't have a bad head gasket, and it did the same exact thing.
So I'm wondering, maybe who ever said that meant that the dip stick would bobble more than this. Here's a video to show how much it's bobbing.
What this engine is doing, 90% of the time is surging. (all the way until filming this) But choking it doesn't level it out. So that tells me it's an air problem. Which could be a head gasket.
