Also the smoke seems to come and go a little at full throttle. It always continuously smokes at full throttle but it will smoke a lot then the smoke will die down for a second then pick back up again etc. its like a sine wave of smoke.

actually you just reminded me. I forgot when i removed the valve cover the exhaust rocker mount bolt was loose so i think that is why the pushrod fell off but was not bent. The intake pushrod im not sure how it came off but i was able to remove both valves although the intake valve was worn...

Someone online mentioned its not uncommon for the valves to hang up when shutdown hot. Once the engine is restarted the pushrod bends because the valve is stuck.

im not sure why but both pushrods came off of the rockers. The intake pushrod is the only one bent the exhaust pushrod was fine but was still off of the rocker

being in the automotive world i am actually a fan of inspections. People drive ridiculous things. Cracked frames, wires showing on tires, no brakes. But i value freedom more and i do not appreciate having to pay for each of my vehicles every year. It’s a pain and inconvenience plus it seems like...

Just from experience of tearing down small two stroke engines even though the oil and gas is mixed the gasoline will evaporate and leave behind the oil. There can actually be a surprising amount of oil in the crank case.

I recently acquired a cub cadet zero turn with a Kawasaki fr691v. It has lived its whole life outside. It’s a 2012 model. It had been sitting for three years because it stopped moving according to the previous owner. Turns out the transmission belt was bad. After replacing the belt i drove it...

2 miles i would just get an automatic easy peasy and most automatics are plenty reliable. Older Hondas seem to be pretty basic in the engine bay and easy to work on.

Park a larger mower on the mowing side of the gate and leave it there. Lol. How big is your gate opening?

Factory service manual for my mower calls for this grease but i am a little confused. I have lithium based grease in my grease gun but everything i read online for lithium greases say they are a lithium soap grease. Is the service manual calling for a lithium soap grease with no soap? I know its...

You will be fine. May feel a little squirly

That does look nice. Im a fan of the coil spring. Also the holes in the center support is nice. Im changing out filters on a 2800. The same as you.

Do you still have the cut open filter to show pictures. I would love to see the construction of the oem filter.

Defective leaf spring

Alright so I contacted Stens and they told me to get replacements through amazon or if its been more than 30 days they would ship me replacements so that is alright. I contacted amazon and they sent me two replacements. I was curious and wanted to see what the problem with these filters were. I...

Could just let the gasoline evaporate by setting it outside for a few days

I think 5th would be better. 32psi still meets the old fashioned 10psi per 1000rpms. If everything is riding on an oil film i dont think 75 vs 32 psi would differ as technically the oil film is separating everything.

Yes i will post some pictures. I have two more stens replacements coming and I’ll see how those are.

I purchased two stens 120-738 oil filters to replace the hydrogear 52114 filters on my zero turn mower. I was surprised when i took the filters out of the package that they rattled. I thought that was weird as i have never had a filter rattle before. Upon closer inspection the filtering media...
