Kubota is not coming to your door fixing anything. Might have paint on the pulley causing a slight slip. Look at how much slack you have in the belt. You can order 10 of the same brand, size, color and pitch belts. Kevlar or no kevlar. Every one will be a different size. Be it a small...

I'm all confused........

Get a slightly smaller belt. Or add another spring to add more belt tension if possible on your machine.

Lastly recommend you download your engine manual. Look at the carb area for proper choke operation. These engines have a tricky setup. Once you read it you will understand what I'm talking about. I've bought several of these with the carb linkages all fouled up. Set back proper they run like a top.

Use silicone grease on the O-ring.

AND, AND clean the engine block and head (cooling fins) of all that oily dirt buildup I'm seeing. These are AIR COOLED engines. If you have a mummy wrap of grit and grass, she won't cool down proper. Clean your cooling fins while you are there. Clean fins is a yearly, or more often, maintenance...

Must say the white paint is brilliant. I was worried when you said wire wheel. I would of tried a rust converter first, once I saw the numbers LOL. Or a brass bristled wheel. I use an oily red shop rag to highlight those numbers. That paint leaves zero guess work. Nice job.

Plastic bag doesn't seal like these new spouts do with rubber gaskets and O-rings. You can tip the can over and not spill any with a new spout.

Or Rolls Royce Aviation for those prices LOL. WOW!!!

For me it's mainly rubber fuel line and trimmer lines that would dry out and crack.

Same here.
