    ZG222 running hot and sparks at exhaust manifold

    Thanks Lugbolt, all fixed the woodruff key on the flywheel dislodged when I put flywheel back on, so timing was out...that fixed it and I also put new exhaust gaskets on, so all good. Cheers

    ZG222 running hot and sparks at exhaust manifold

    Any one got an infra red thermometer and a zg222 or zg227 they can take some warmed up operating temperatures of the engine running, i.e exhaust, crankcase, valve covers etc. Thanks

    Kubota Owner Check-In --- Read This First!

    G'day from Aus. G'day, Just introducing myself, Tony from Victoria, Australia. Own a Kubota ZG222 zero turn. Would have to be one of the toughest mowers I have had, but recently broke a con-rod, my fault lack of oil. Anyhow just getting it going again, thanks for the forum.

    ZG222 running hot and sparks at exhaust manifold

    I pulled the motor out again checked all cooling fins, all good, decided to check woodruff key on flywheel, it appears it may have moved out of slot when I put flywheel on last time, I am guessing it fell into flywheel and stuck to bottom of magnet, that is the theory. I marked the flywheel...

    ZG222 running hot and sparks at exhaust manifold

    Hi, I have just partly re-built my ZG222 engine after a broken con-rod, I have re-assembled everything, checked and adjust valve gaps, engine would not start, however I then found sheared off woodruff key on flywheel, which I have replaced. Engine starts and runs but gets hot, I need to replace...
