Yes I removed the grommet & put gauge back in, reads the same. Mowing today, we'll see what happens.. Thanks for your input.

Works fine, a friend took his edger head plug & matched up a grease fitting to install & leave..

Just remove the plug, butt yer grease gun end up to the hole & give it a pump. Mine is grease able, & I give it a shot 1 x a year. Residential use. Even my Dealer said to be sure & grease the head, that was over 10 years ago tho.. But still running like new,.. Any grade 2 grease should...

Yea sure, bet you say that on ALL the oil threads... LOL

:ROFLMAO:

#1 must have: a cup holder.. No compromises on this.. :ROFLMAO: LOL

(y) Wow, beefy, careful to not tow too much weight.

:ROFLMAO:(y)

Ya mean something like mine..

Agreed.

Question: My Scag Liberty, now 3 years old. & Last week mow, gas gauge read about 7/8 FULL of gas Before I mowed for 48 minutes, then cleaned & parked. After the mow, I checked gas gauge it is now reading FULL of gas. None has been added. & parked in same spot in garage.. Same temps etc...

I'm down in deep South so my Dealer recommends 20-50 semi K-Tech..

Just a bit.. Doh,..

Amsoil Saber

Life goes on.. The vacuum pump can be tested by unhooking the one end & crank the engine to check flow.

OK, Just FYI: Running with gas shut off, till it quits, will still leave a small amount of gas in carb bowl..

Ur right... My bad.

Shell Rotella 15-40 T-4 is JASO rated, & can be found by the gallon for cheap.

Remove fuel line after the fuel filter, Turn key on & see how the flow is. If that is fine, then carb may need a good cleaning.

The coil on Shindaiwa & Echo have FREE lifetime warranty, I know both mine do. But Dealer has to do the check, & install. So fee involved for labor.. When yours quits, quickly test the spark lead for spark. Various ways, I have voltage tester, or even a spark plug holding the plug body to...

Sock it to me ... Cool.

My Scag OM states 25 for fronts & 8 psi in rears.

Yea take a break, maybe you will think something else up.

a bit of STP..............oil treatment

Well, an inspection of the needle valve above the float would be good to see that it is clean. If you have gravity feed gas, put a can under carb with bowl off, allow gas to flow, gently push the float closed upward (carefully)....I say carefully cause the float level is set by that tab, &...

Loosen fuel cap when this happens & see it that fixes it.. Did it run well with vent valve removed ?

Yes.

I'd try & determine for sure you has gas in your oil first. Is your oil lever ever fuller that is was ? I use my shut off on my mower. Had an old rider long ago & it hydro-locked from gas in the oil.

I've always did the Exhausts to .005 Just cause they get hotter.. But that's me.

What's wrong with that ?

Gas is probably passing thru the carb into the crankcase. Do you have a fuel line shut off valve ? If gas is getting into your crankcase, you need to fix the problem, Carb needle valve maybe. & then dump the oil, add cheap fresh oil run it a bit & drain it again, then add the regular oil...

Does the engine oil smell like gas ?

Welcome Aboard ! Hopefully someone will be of help to ya.

At the very least, remove the spark plugs & put your thumb over the hole & crank the engine with the starter.. Should want to blow your thumb off there.. If not, you gotta go deeper.

True enough. Have ya just tried a Google search ?

Are they Hi-lift blades, those can make more noise.

Welcome Aboard- Hopefully others can give ya some info for this.

Blades are measured on the diagonal, like a TV set. Sorry can't help. Try Marketplace..

I grew up in a Seafoam family, my Dad swore by it.. That was over 60 + years ago I used it in a gummed up 3/8" butterfly air ratchet, it got it running smooth as silk again..

Don't jinx it, just ride the wave........LOL (y)

Maybe you're just living right, & it was that easy....

You're in the right place.. Many here know their stuff very well. ..

Try loosening a gas cap when it does this. That may pinpoint a venting issue as you questioned.
