Good to know!!! *

From AI !!! Kawasaki’s K-Tech 15W-50 4-cycle engine oil contains a proprietary "thermally stable zinc" (ZDDP) anti-wear additive package, but Kawasaki does not publish an exact numeric parts-per-million (ppm) rating for its zinc content.

McTurff, Thanks for the quick response on the carburetor type. *

McTurff, Just curious, what make is the carburetor? Thanks . . . *

My daughter was given a 52" zero-turn that needed an engine, we installed a used B and S on it. Runs great, a work horse . . . *

Hello All, Yes numbers are key! *

I'm thinking charging system not working! *

Hello, Just wondering what might cause "consuming large amounts of gas" as stated by Original Post. Thanks!

Yup, the higher the better in warm, dry weather!! *

Good on ya! Thanks for the update!!! *

Ok, Keep us posted! *

I have a John Deere X324 machine and usually have it leveled so it will cut as high as possible so I get a really high cut to keep my small pasture grass/weeds under control. If I bring the adjusting nuts to high the mower deck will bump the frame and it's difficult to unlock from transport...

It's worth a try . . . *

Good deal! *

I remember those! *

Post #4 , good to know!!!

Maybe grease? *

FWIW I had one that was stuck, loosened the center bolt and ran the engine for about 3 minutes, that broke it loose. *

Yup, that's all it takes some times. *

Is everything lubricated well? Something might me sticky!!! *

If you add some choke, will it continue to run at higher throttle positions, and smooth back out? If yes, it points to a fuel delivery issue! (Does that engine have a fuel pump or is it gravity fed?) My bad. . . I see the pump! Thanks, Doug Lee *

Welcome!!!

Hello All, Deleted, Doug *

Are either of the idler pulleys hitting the frame? Thanks. . . Doug Lee *

Is the kill wire connected to the kill button/plunger/round shaft? Thanks. . . Doug Lee *

I apply gasket sealer to a clean valve cover flange, next apply the gasket, pin it down to a flat surface overnight, next day when installing the valve cover the next day, only use grease or petroleum jelly on the engine side of the valve cover gasket. When checking the valves in the future...

I agree with your statement! I don't think the starter is bad. I think that is normal in this case, it has no engagement with an opposing gear to keep it at the top end/extended position of the motor shaft, therefore it is slipping back down to the retracted position. Thanks, Douglas Lee *

Thanks for sharing that seat switch trick! Douglas Lee *

Must have found the problem!!! Doug Lee *

Is the choke plate opening after startup? Doug Lee *

Sounds like a scrape to me? Douglas Lee *

I had a simular problem with a 40" Gravely deck, I slotted the mounting holes in one of the spindles to move it closer to the other blade. Thanks, Douglas Lee *

Point taken! Thanks, Douglas Lee *

Post #4 is talking about a 100:1 mixture! Thanks, Douglas Lee *

So . . . are you saying with an older (25 + years old ) chain saw, it's ok to run it with a 100:1 fuel mixture verses the 16:1 suggested by the manufacturer? Thanks, Doug Lee *

Worked on a Husqvarna Saturday a.m. pto wouldn't engage, voltage in spec, resistance on coil in spec, adjusted the rotor air gap, that was it! Thanks, Doug Lee *

It's probably is an ac circuit that powers the headlights!

You have to keep them retracted while slipping them over the armature. I've used small diameter wire to do this. *

Maybe, apply the brake.

Anything slick! *

Can you provide the numbers/ make, model on the engine How does it run under a load? Thanks, Doug Lee *

New head bolts? Thanks, Doug Lee *

Hello hlw49 Thanks for that! Doug Lee

I thought the compression release worked on the exhaust valve. Thanks, Doug Lee

Keep us posted!

I have read of some using PAM cooking spray on mower decks, as mentioned earlier it's doesn't last long, might we worth a try. Thanks Douglas Lee *

Is the grass dry when you use the electric mower? Douglas Lee *

Is the battery charging when the machine is running? Thanks, Douglas Lee *
