Thanks Star. So it wouldn't be a good idea to use a cub drive fluid? I would have to stick with Dino fluid or drain the whole system and replace with any brand 20w50.

I was mainly refering to the zt2800 which are in the ZT2 and some ZT3 models of cub

Thanks bert

20w50 motor oil or 15w50 syn? I'm just having an issue between cub and hydro gear to what the correct fluid is and the correct way to fill. Especially on the internal tank trans. Hydro gear states not to pull the plug in clear sight,which would be the internal tank side, due to you might...

Just wondering if there is a fluid type in comparison or any other I could use then the hydro gear part# 72751 for transmissions. Also wondering weight of fluid.

Does this effort mean starting fluid? Is it backfiring thru muffler or carb? If your firing Is correct It does sound like a intake on fuel issue. The fuel plungers are known to get hot and quit working at times and coils are also. Maybe check intake gaskets along with the above I mentioned. Also...

Or maybe see if mice made them a home under the cover, or any part of the wiring for that matter. Depending on where the mowers home is, they love eating what they bed in.

I would try unhooking it from carburetor and seeing the results of how the cable reacts before replacing it. The problem could possibly be elsewhere.

100% true! A fix with sarcasm. Bert is never far from the problem I promise you!

I've checked torque on disassemble and what's even more strange the valve clearance on number 2 was slight to any but in my understanding that would make the valve open sooner and help compression right? Number one was set correctly. It was almost as they are trying to figure out the problem too...

I agree but it would be nice to know what really is causing this to present to them. And or having the knowledge for any means. But I'm not kohler dealer.

It might has been discovered but I'm having issues with new kohler engines blowing #2 head gasket in between break in time...1 to 5 hours. The mowers are kept on display every day. I pull them in and out of shop everyday. There have been some Chilli mornings with some warm time. I have had at...

I wanted to post a pic of a 60s cub that sits on display in the office for everyone to see but every time I try to load it says it's too large.

Depending on some models there are small metal sleeves installed into the plastic where the element boxes are secured. To over tightened past that you have to be really willing and ready for something to break. Fuel and fire! Main 2 to focus on. Figure out why no fuel on initial start. My...
