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...
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...
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.
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.
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.
