    Break-In Period?

    I adjusted the valves. All good.

    Break-In Period?

    Acting like the battery is almost dead. Makes one revolution, stops, then spins over and fires right up.

    Break-In Period?

    Thanks. I got it running good but need to adjust valves so it starts easier. Should I do it when its cold or warm?

    Break-In Period?

    Hello. Some of you may have seen my post regarding a seized KT735 7000 series engine with 30 minutes on it. Well I was lucky enough to score a brand new KT short block on Facebook Marketplace for $100 and they were kind enough to ship it to me. I got everything switched up and installed tonight...

    Weird One... Seized Kohler 7000 KT730-3046

    Thanks for the info, I did notice this brown staining around the crankshaft seal. So that's probably a sign it got hot...

    Weird One... Seized Kohler 7000 KT730-3046

    So I bought this 2023 Cub XT1 LT46 with .25 of an hour on it used from an older guy who said he was mowing and all of a sudden the engine came to a stop he opened the hood and saw oil all over the place. Said he had forgot to put the dipstick tube in all the way and it was coming out from there...

    Briggs Intek 19.5hp Surging For 10 Seconds

    John Deere LA110. Briggs Intek OHV. Surging when cold for about 10 seconds then comes out of it. Fresh fuel. Cleaned carb. Checked intake gasket. Fuel solenoid works. Replaced carb. Still does it. Any thoughts? Tia.

    Kohler Courage Twin Cam Single

    Yes. It fires up on its own. Just takes a few seconds. I took slomo's advice and checked the valves and exhaust was too tight. I adjusted and seems better. I'll try again in a bit.

    Kohler Courage Twin Cam Single

    The exhaust valve was too tight. I adjusted it and think it's better now.

    Kohler Courage Twin Cam Single

    Cub XT1. For some reason it cranks over fine but takes like 15 seconds to start. I adjusted choke to where it fully closes but no change. I cleaned carb, swapped carb, fresh gas. Plenty of fuel flow to carb. Fuel solenoid works. What am I missing? Tia.

    Kohler 22hp 7000 Smart Choke Issues

    I fixed it. Was bad gas. I drained tank and carb and refilled with fresh gas and starts right up now.

    Kohler 22hp 7000 Smart Choke Issues

    I watched that video yesterday. All the scenarios mention the choke staying open. Mine is closed but opens like it should?
