Stop! check the breather. Two things pressurize the crank case. Rings and breather check valve function. Of course head gasket is also a possibility, but lets go the easy route - check the breather.

a 10 % rise would be expected normal wet. Not prior comment on gauge and speed of rotation and number of compression cycles.

I am a warranty service center and they are a tank, few issues ever. I cannot comment on the diesel model as not seen one. I have 4 Tractor Supply stores that we have done warranty on several products but Bad Boy had 2 early warranties that have been redesigned.

First, an excellent job of reporting the digest of failure. two key points: 1) The cool down may have refused the timing gear to spring the valves while exploring valve motion, usually without compression so motion would not be hindered by other than valve springs. 2) The cam gear also may have...

I have read most but fail to find "Check the oil"!!!! And a few posts will not reveal the root cause. A few have good feedback. I guess even this post might be of little value. Words can be misleading. When it trys to crank, are cables hot, what is battery voltage, is starter hot, how does this...

That level of compression will make things very very difficult to get it to start. the speed of piston moment makes a difference in firinng time compression. In our shop, we do a slow pull and feel the compression. If little resistance, no need to go farther. It's dead.

You indicated there is a solenoid on the starter. As you were already told, the solenoid shifts the drive into the flywheel, thus you cannot eliminate the solenoid. Take the advice of someone who has rebuilt thousands of starters. if it is a Denso starter, the contacts may solve it. If you...

Replacement engine information ( read to the bottom): no exact engine replacement, so per the noted: drop the ...1-e1: Your local B&S dealer can help you further. The other spec details may be a better fit - again, local dealer...

Our record was 13 hours getting one off - a double stack with manual pto. when we get a drive belt replacement requesting a quote I exclude the pulley removal.

I assume it is fuel related but the first step is to confirm this. Get a cheap inline spark checker and see if as it quits the ignition is still firing spark. If so now go after a fuel related problem. Beyond what has been done, float, fuel pump if present, water in fuel system, if gravity feed...

Do not run again till a " Static governor adjustment" is performed. then adjust the governed speed to 3600 rpm. I would recommend buying the service manual rather than me describing the adjustment in text but this is the rule: throttle of carb at full wide open and held during adjustment. The...

I agree. I have been doing small engines for over 50 years. If installed properly, no issues found. What engine model are we taking about. There are a few that can be confusing where the filter can be put in upside down and the dirty side is facing the wrong way and filtering does not then work...

Get a Stens 120-444 fuel filter in the line. It acts like dirt continues to invade the float and defeat the needle/seat. Also add Marvels Mystery Oil or 2 cycle oil to the gas. Ethanol is a solvent and makes the float valve stick, a bit of oil in the gas helps lube the needle so that it will...

It is a fuel pump. Oil emitted from that or lines means one of several issues. The breather controls crankcase vacuum. If it fails as a check valve, excessive loss of crankcase vacuum happens and flow increases with it able to carry a mist of oil out the line thru the pump and usually on to the...

The breather may be not performing the check valve function, thus crankcase can be under pressure. I feel this system, its flow or head gasket is where the issue is but also the valve cover seal if bad can vent in as can any other gasket to crankcase vent in to defeat vacumn.
