i replaced the intake manafold gaskets because one had blowen out and the mower was runing on one cilinder
if you can respond at 8:00in the morning i will be here
how many liters of oil did you put in to the engine?
1.7 with a new filter
there might be an oil leakage past the valves into the cylinders. Its a burned oil. Pull the plugs and inspect for oil fouling.
OK i willcheck that and get back to you . THANKS!
Alright. I will wait for your next message.
One plug is fouled. I guess one or both valve guides are bad, is this something I need special tools to do the work?
Or, should I take it to a small engine repair shop?
Thank you for your help!!
Where can i get a repair/shop manual for my engine?
