I have an x mark 72" 27 hp liquid cooled mower,i was mowing the yard and it shut off ,notice water was low so i put 2 qt's in it still didn't look full so i started it up drove over to water hose to fill up radiator.
Then water started to come out air cleaner i trained oil took out plugs and turned engine over and seems to be ok no lock or knocking sound.What may have caused this i am going to flush engine with some diesel
and change oil & filter and plugs. Do you think it will be ok

thank you fatdaddy

You'll have an answer once you flush out and run it again.

Leaking headgaskets are not totally uncommon on the Kawi's

I have found if the head gasket is bad you will have compression coming out of the radiator fill when running. Engine compression is much more then coolant pressure. I would think it's a internal engine problem where engine compression is not involved.
