Welcome to the forum.

If its working great, I personally would leave it. When it starts going a little bit slower or starts Slipping, then change it 👍🏼. If it ain't broke, DON'T "fix" it 🙅🏼‍♂️. I've learned that the hard way lol, my curiosity kills me.😑

We need more information. Changing the fluid could either be beneficial or could reduce the life, but it depends. Age, brand, wear and condition, what do you use it for, etc. Its quite a bit of work for what it's worth.

Could we get some photos of your machine?

Ok, I get that. I guess I'll help ya. Do you have a multimeter? Do you have any electrical experience? If you could find the model number of the mower or/and upload some pics that would be a good start.

Just start a new Thread-

I bet you blew a fuse or blew some part of the electrical system. Not worth fixing IMO. Go get a gas mower, unless you're a tree hugger🙄. My Honda HR215 hit a metal screw-in stake for the dogs and it simply shredded it and tossed it into the bagger like it was nothing! Couple dings on the blade...

Bad fuel pump or sticking choke? Does it have autochoke or anything?

Oh wait I thought the OP was saying when they mulch it cuts fine, but when they bag the grass they get clumps.

Or you need a new high-lift blade.

I say drain the oil because it sounds like gas got into your oil. Replace with some 20W50. That should fix it.

Ohh its one of those, I've got one Just like that. 1. Is the oil overfilled at all? I use some heavier oil because these engines are so old and mine has low compression. How much oil is coming out? It is normal for a mist to come out.

?

Ohh, That's what I was thinking lol 😉

While you're waiting, you can check for a sheared flywheel key. This will cause the coil to spark at the wrong time and won't ever start. You could also put the old coil back on and disconnect the wire coming off it. It might start...

What the heck is a Yazoo-

StarTech: Don't throw parts at it. OP: -Throws parts at it- lol

We need the model and serial number. There are probably 100 different 20HP Koher engines.

I'm surprise no one thought of this, is the fuel pump bad?

If it were me, I would take everything apart down to the piston head to see if somethings got in there, and the piston is crushing it. If not, it could be something loose like the carb I would guess since it's low on power.

Is anything tapping the flywheel? It could be under it.

The coil could be bad since you've already replaced the sparkplug. Disconnect the kill wire to see if it's grounding out. Test for spark too.

What engine is this for???

It is probably a clogged carburetor or no spark. Clean carb and test for spark. Does it run for a little bit with a little bit of gas poured into the carb?

Reminds me of a diesel with a glowplug buzzer

You should.

Did it look more durable?

Yes, sometimes have been able to bypass the broken compression release with a new, stronger battery. It won't fix the broken camshaft though.

Welcome aboard.

I gave my Input, take it or leave it 🙃 I'm out.

Riding mowers are a lot better.

I always adjust Phillips when the one valve is fully open end of the other is closed and loose. Adjust the loose one, then turn over and adjust the others. When you're all done, crank the engine a few times, and check the gap again, this "breaks in the gap". Adjust again if needed. Pro tip: I...

I do, I'm sorry for the confusion

OP should make a poll, Kohler, or Rehlko, which one would you buy?

I guess

While you're at it, please add your machine model/serial number to your signatureWhile you're at it, please add your machine model/serial number to your signature. The old guys get on people when they do not provide a model number or serial number when somebody starts a thread.

They don't call them "Breaks and scrapem'" for nothing. If they break, scrap them, because they are not worth fixing because they will just break again.🤦🏼‍♂️
