Hello folks,
This problem is a first for me to come across. Craftsman/MTD CMXGNAM211704 zero turn with a Kohler PS-KT735-3077 engine.
The customer brought it to me after we had discussed some troubleshooting steps over the phone without resolve.
When it arrived, I check for compression and it had none on either cylinder. I pulled the valve covers to find that both intake pushrods were bent badly, and the intake valves were stuck in the closed position.
The engine is spotless under the top fan shroud/cover and has no debris is the cooling fins.
The engine had a 3-year limited warranty but is expired because the build date is 09/10/2021. It has no hour meter on the machine, but it has been well kept in a garage.
I looked up parts and found the bare heads have updated parts numbers.
Has anyone run into a similar issue on this engine design before?
