    Gradually Overheating?

    Ok today I've compared the thermocouple measured temperature with the laser type temp tester. The thermocouple actually measured about 4 degC lower (rather than higher) but that was just midday temperature (with the engine not running), so maybe thermocouples inaccuracies are not constant from...

    Gradually Overheating?

    Yes, thanks again, all clear, for sure ... Actually, this same point has been coved two or three time now. I guess that's the problem with long threads like this one, because none of us have the time to read all the previous posts. :LOL:

    Gradually Overheating?

    Oh right, I get what you mean now ... thanks for your thoughts on that.... But yes they were clear, maybe because I often use a compressed airline (over the whole engine), underneath those cylinders, where the exhaust pipes comes out. I've been away from home for some time but next time I've...

    Gradually Overheating?

    I’ve rebuilt a few of these engines but I’ve never seen those rocker cover tins full of dirt. Assuming the tins are fitted correctly How would the dirt get in there? Oh Ok I get it now … no they are completely cl No sorry Ive not had time to do that as I’m currently travelling.

    Gradually Overheating?

    I've already done that. I've been running the same grade of oil for ages. No recent changes there.

    What about running rich? ... I fitted a new Air filter because the old one was quite dark with dust. ... I'll see how she goes on the next mow ;-)

    Gradually Overheating?

    I use an airline "in and under" that shroud after most uses. But just to be sure I will take the shroud off, take a better look and come back to you.

    Gradually Overheating?

    I have a Husky with a 24HP B&S. Some time back I fitted a dual temperature display to monitor the Transaxle temp (usually 65DegC) and the engine (oil filter) temp (usually 70DegC) and I have kept an eye on them both over the last few years. Tranny Temp is still the same but more recently I have...

    I finally fixed it ... Life hasn't been the same since

    Some of you may recall how I have a B&S 24HP V-twin that's ALWAYS been hard to start and long story short I did EVERYTHING to fix that (and the engine popping) issue. Well the whole story (that lasted well over 3 years) will send you to sleep (and numb my fingertips on this keyboard) but it...

    Briggs intek v twin starts hard

    Do you see any side effects from doing this?.... It kinda suggest there's a design flaw (like the plastic manifold) in B&S design specifications.
