Okay, I replaced the gasket as I had a spare and started it back up. Same issue. The one side of the exhaust/muffler gets cherry red hot still. I do notice if I just barely pull the choke a tiny bit it runs a bit smoother without the popping. Doesn't change the heat on that side though. I'll...

Okay so I think I figured it out? There was a badly torn gasket on the opposite side intake. Where the plastic tubing on the carb meets the engine. However, while I had it running and was spraying the carb cleaner to find that the throttle on the carb raised up then the mower died now it turns...

Okay, so here is a pic of the spark plug and a short video of it running. Fins look fairly clean. After running about 45 seconds or so it looks as if it pushed the gasket (it's a newer gasket) part way out the bottom of the valve cover and it started leaking oil from there. I'm going to wait for...

So, I got that all figured out and replaced and it runs somewhat now. Thank you so much for your help thus far. However, on that same side now the exhaust gets really hot and starts smoking almost immediately once I engage the mower deck. It also has what sounds like very small backfires/popping...

Awesome thanks, I really appreciate all the help. Do you happen to know if there is a video or something that can show me how to check and set the clearance? Or is it easy enough that it can be explained to someone like me who doesn't necessarily know what all of the parts are? I tend to tinker...

Yeah, I can tell it's bent very easily by just looking at it. It's pretty drastic. So after I replace that is there anything else I should check that would have caused it to bend in the first place? Or would the fact that the bottom rod dislodged cause it to bend? I noticed the bottom rod that...

It is touching the metal above. Also, I have 0 idea what reset valve clearance means/how that is accomplished if that still matters. It looks like the lower is about 1/4 of an inch shorter(farther in) maybe a little more than the upper.

The top one also does not look straight not sure if that's normal. It bows upwards

Uh I think I figured it out.. how do I fix this? The rocker rod is unattached and comes completely out.

Okay so I am having an issue where my engine is running extremely rich and when I kick on the mower it chugs and barely runs. My first troubleshooting is that I replaced both plugs, didn't work.. so I also ended up replacing the carb and fuel pump only to after that didn't fix it, I noticed one...

Replaced the gasket and it's still smoking. It almost looks like it's coming from where the manifold attaches. But idk I just notice it on the bolts. Could it just be residual oil heating up again? Idk if this video is any better...

40H777-0241-E1 is the model /type number code 030724yg Not sure what other numbers would be beneficial.

So every so often. (It's increasing in frequency) while running my Craftsman gt5000 will puff smoke. I found where the oil leak is coming from I believe. The g drive link below has a video and picture of where I think the oil is coming from. It spurts from the smaller circle from what I can...

Believe I out this in the wrong spot
