At the very least, remove the spark plugs & put your thumb over the hole & crank the engine with the starter.. Should want to blow your thumb off there.. If not, you gotta go deeper.

True enough. Have ya just tried a Google search ?

Are they Hi-lift blades, those can make more noise.

Welcome Aboard- Hopefully others can give ya some info for this.

Blades are measured on the diagonal, like a TV set. Sorry can't help. Try Marketplace..

I grew up in a Seafoam family, my Dad swore by it.. That was over 60 + years ago I used it in a gummed up 3/8" butterfly air ratchet, it got it running smooth as silk again..

Nice Score man !!

Don't jinx it, just ride the wave........LOL (y)

Maybe you're just living right, & it was that easy....

You're in the right place.. Many here know their stuff very well. ..

Try loosening a gas cap when it does this. That may pinpoint a venting issue as you questioned.

:ROFLMAO:

Good advice ...

Adding a french drain would be cheapest imo. But if you can access the dirt easily, that would be a great solution.

Bummer.

You saved that one. Wow !

10-4. I have seen some leak. I would never lift an engine to install that type of drain, I know that.

Sounds cold blooded. Did you choke it for the restart ?

Those "look" sturdy, but still have same tiny 0-ring inside that leaks. No thanks.

OH that's a keeper. I love it.. (y)

Looks good, leave the locking Zip tie on it. The handle orientation would be my concern..

I'd look close at the warranty papers first..

Exactly. Arrgh Arrgh !!! (Tim theToolman).

My OE blades are Marbain Steel (heat treating process) they really hold an edge very well. & my Oregon blades are my #2 Favorite..

?

return it.

One can also fab up a jig. If you have the skills.

Years ago I had a stuck kidney stone.. I was near tears in pain.. Went to hospital, on weekend naturally. Ya know a woman nurse there told me she had had kidney stones & also given birth on different occasions.. She said the kidney stones were way more painful that her giving birth.. I can...

If it did NOT have that backfire when in-laws had it. Valves didn't need adjusted from just sitting. IMO.

That is even clearly explained in Kawasaki Owners Manuals.

Yes, understood, I avoid water altogether... for that fine dust on mine, I use an old 'California Duster' & micro-fiber towel. Works great & is super fast. Keeps things looking neat & clean. I'm about 3 years younger than you, so I have had some various models as well. And my current one is...

After each mow season, after I service my mower. I WAX the deck. That makes me blowing it off after each mow so much easier. Works for me anyhow. I was raised to keep up one's equipment, including appearance.

Yes time will tell on that. But doesn't sound like you will have to cut anything on the drain.. Never saw a straight oil drain like you describe ? I have a Scag Liberty, & I just use my impact gun on blade bolts. I don't have to hold them, just catch it as I gun out each bolt. Same for install.

Cool, I see them on Ebay, & cheaper priced ones (aftermarket) there too. My cousin up North has a Hustler w/same Kawasaki. He was complaining about that cheap drain, I got him one as a surprise.. He loves it too..

Twice may not be enough, if fluid is at full, I would do the purge again, with wheels off the ground. I did my HG 2800's @ 50 hours in October & swapped to Full synthetic 20-50. Very quiet. But not totally silent. But much quieter than when I got it New.. I would suggest checking oil levels...

If it's a Kawasaki, which I believe that model comes with, & has the cheap plastic drain (see image) that can be easily removed, after oil drain, of course first, by simply sawing off the drain nipple at cut line in pic. .. Then simply unscrew it. No engine lifting in my case. Here's what I...

(1) Suck....(2) Squeeze......(3) Bang......(4) Blow

Yea that's the ticket...

Are you over tightening the air filter ?

Well, sad to say, quality doesn't seem to be what it used to be..

That's why I like antique vehicles..
