A 220 grit flap disc is not aggressive enough, unless you have time to spare. I use a 60 grit with a moderate amount of pressure.

Is it safe to assume you think Boy Blunder Biden was better?

After using a torch on the screen, "scrub" it with a wire toothbrush. At least that method works for me.

I'm no Mr. GoodWrench, so I suggest, if you haven't already, Google "purpose/benefits of oil cooler on small air cooled engine." As far as magic oil of the week, I at first used Mobil 1 20W50 (recommended for warmer climates) but have since changed over to Valvoline Synthetic Racing oil (black...

Not to be a smart azz, but it's rather self explanatory. By having the engine running with oil that is 20 or more degrees cooler, the engine is subjected to less wear and tear, resulting in longer engine life. I have the same engine on my 5 yo Scag Liberty Z 48". But with only 143 hrs run time...

I removed and left off the chute on my mower. I did this cuz the grass is thrown out more evenly instead of having definite lines of cut grass across the lawn.

Yes, I got the same email. Windows 10 support ends 10/2025.

Look in your Kawasaki owners manual. In there you'll find the recommended oil viscosity for the range of temperatures normal for your neck of the woods.

Bought a Scag Liberty Z 48" w/Kawasaki FR651V back in 2019. 1st oil/filter change at 7 hrs using Mobil 1 20W50 and Mobil 1 102 filter. With the warmer temps here in south Louisiana, the heavier grade oil is recommended, resulting in less oil "usage." I have since switched to Valvoline 20W50...

Let me know if you find one that works well.

According to Seafoams website, as long as it sealed tightly after being opened, there really is no concern about shelf life.

South Louisiana here. Our winters aren't very brutal, though occasionally will get down to upper teens/lower 20's. I have a Scag w/Kawasaki engine, TroyBilt push mower w/Honda engine and a Yamaha generator. I only burn non-ethanol fuel with a mixture of Seafoam (3 oz per gallon of gas) Yamaha...

That's what I've been doing. I'm no Mr. Goodwrench, but it just seemed logical. Thanks for replying.

I have a Liberty Z 48" w/Kawasaki FR651V. I know to engage the blades at about 3/4 throttle. Does it matter at what rpm to dis-engage?
