How long does it take you guys to do head gaskets on a Kohler command twin engine. I do both sides when I do one.

I don't see blown head gaskets on the Kawasakis or Kohler singles. Kawasaki has a valve train problem. Only see it on the older Kohler twins now.

Both of the failures are due to a poorly designed engine. Nothing to support the end of the compression relief and too much space between the spacing of the head bolts in the valve train area. Though I see more cam failures than head gaskets. Still a bad design. Can't say too much for the Kohler...

Here in north middle Tn it is 24 degreese and snowing could get up to 2 or 5 inches tonight and more tomorrow. Lows could be as low a 4 degrees by the middle of the week. Burr hate cold weather but thank goodness for global warming. Hate to think what it would be like if it wasn't for that. LOL

My sister has an old chest type freezer that was bought in the early to mid 60's and is still working.

Looks like it has a compression release due to parts break down. Take the valve cover off spark plug out and turn the engine over by hand. Watch the valves and see if the bottom valve bumps open just before TDC. If not it has a bad compression release.

Worse problem generators have is gunked up carb from setting with old fuel in them. People buy one put fuel in it run it one time let it set until they need it again. Two or three years later they expect it just to start right up and run. LOL

You said old old Kawasaki engine if it is an FH series engine check the top main bearing to see if it is worn out. Turn the magnet on the flywheel away form the ignition coils and see if you can move the flywheel back and forth. Those old FH series engines had a tendency to wear the top main...

President Trump on Wednesday voiced support for confiscating guns from certain individuals deemed to be dangerous, even if it violates due process rights. “I like taking the guns early, like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida … to go to court would have taken a long time,”...

What did it cost new? Looks like a 2018?

What is your problem?

It is a shame but the younger generation are not interested in getting their hands dirty to fix anything. I am 74 years old have been doing this for going on 48 years. I have done it both ways worked for someone else and owned my own business. When I ran my own put in way too many hours a day...

Those engines have a compression release on the cam gear. when you adjust the valves turn the engine over by hand and watch the vaves to see if the exhaust valve bumps open just before it hits tdc. If not the compression release is bad,

An tell me again what country you live in that makes you such an authority on the United States of America. Name the one crime Trump has been convicted of. All these charges are baseless false charges. Biden is the criminal in the White House. Selling the Biden Brand to China, Russia. Ukrain and...

Coke does not produce smoke on burning: Coke burns with an almost smokeless flame and does not produce smoke during burning. So, there is lesser air pollution when coke is burnt as compared to when coal is burnt. That is why noonshiners use it to fire their stills.

Like I said Dixie Chopper uses the Parker Torques Pack in their mowers and some of the other manufactures are as well. We have only had two units since 2017 that were defective and were covered under warranty.

A lot of the commercial mowers are going to Parker Torques pack one peice unit with oil drains in the pan and a cartrage type filter. It is a very good unit. Dixie Chopper uses them in their commercial Eagle and Black Hawk series and uses Hydro Gear in the Z2 units. They use the two piece units...

I know it was just saying it to controversial. Kohler uses them as well but have seen torch in them as well.

I use to be on a forum years ago and posted for my use I would not screw a Champion plug in a bucket of dirt.

Had a 1965 Chevy wagon that would not run long on Champions put Autolites in it no problems.

Use the CS6 NGK best going

They would not want this stuff since it has water and gas along with the oil

No internal parts available only external. POJ

Post model type and code no. so someone can look it up.

I owe no man anything. Only buy if I can afford it.

Lets see just saw this on the news this morning. Cars up 22%,Rents 21%,Gas 25%, Eggs 57%, Bread 47%, Credit Card rate 25% and higher. 14% agree with Bidenomics. 46% say it hurt then, 39% said there was no difference. 68% Disgussed with Bidenomics. So if all these number are doing a good job I...

The Biden adminstration will have allowed between 8 and 10 million known elligals not counting the got aways into our country during his presidency. The got aways are the ones we need to worry about the most. Probably terrorist.

And what country do you live in? Gas prices, food prices, energy prices are up. Ask truckers what it cost now to fill up their trucks. Higher fuel prices make higher prices for every thing. Unemployment is only down due to people going back to work after the covid shut. Biden has opened our...

What do you guys do with your used oil? We have ours picked up by Safety Kleen. They use to pay for it but now charge to pick it up. Was talking to the guy that picked it up and he said a lot of the major oil companies bought from them and reprossed it. Like Mobile One, Valvoline to name a few...

Kohler regulators have a surge protector in them and some times all you have to do is uplug them and plug them back in.

CV20 off that Craftsman now sits on my 2000 X1901 Dixie Chopper

Craftsman use to be bad about listing hp of the engine different than the model no. of the mower have a Kohler that is a CV 20 that the mower said it was a 18.5

I thought Jimmy Carter was the worse president in US history that is until Biden came along? I remember gas rationing and high inflation.

Not that easy on some of those engines they limit the throttle opening with the lever on the carb throttle shaft. They may also be playing games with hp rating and just call it a different hp than it actually is. They can call it less hp and get by with it but not more hp.

Trash in fuel tank stopping fuel flow from tank to engine or fuel line collapsing when it heats up.

Mix up a solution of red devil lye and water, it will do the same thing if you can still get it since they say it is used to make drugs

Old Wheel Horse, Cub Cadett, or Sears Suburban manual tranny. These older tractors have cast iron gear boxes the newer ones have aluminium and won't hold up.

28 inch High Vac will pick up hickory nuts. It is the best bagger on planet earth

Interstate SP35 would fit the needs.

Also Chain saws

Loose blade key in blade adapter sheared.

Model spec and serial no of engine so we can look at what you have. Throwing a carb in an ultrasonic cleaner doesn't necessarly clean all the passages in the carb. Sometimes you have to run something through the orfices to clean them out. Honda has a good set of orfice cleaner but pricey.

Mow higher.

Next time you try to diagnose an engine problem remember this KISS keep it simple to start with and them work up to the hard stuff.

Went back and read all the post did not see where you said anything about climbing or sliding off the hill. Everyone just responded to what you posted.

Model type and code no. of engine Would be helpful. Also model no. of mower.

You said starter and ring gear have been replaced. If the flywheel nut was not torqued to 150 ft pound it very well could be a sheared fw key. I would check it.

It may not be an engine issue at all. Had one with a similiar problem and it was due to wet grass packed around the engine control module wiring harness. He had taken the grass chute off the deck and it was blowing grass all over the mower and it got packed around the control module and was...

I don't like the D/C turf boss tires either. Problem with them is they have a crown that the only part that hits the ground is a small area in the center of the tire and they do dig up the yard. Will take turf saver tires any day and do as TSE said three point turns and slow down. When you...

Have you checked to see if the choke is closing all the way. It adjustable. Sea Foam is good stuff.
