Keystone State Thread

If it has been attached to the inside of the exhaust for a while it could have a rust coloring.

 

that makes me feel much better honestly.

 

Was the smoke black or blue?
How did the engine sound when it was smoking -- normal smooth or rough with kind of a brap, brap, brap sound?

If the smoke was black and the engine rough it could be running rich -- most commonly caused by the choke being partially on. The rough running can blow loose any carbon in the exhaust system.

 

EFI motor so no manual choke. Honestly smoke was blueish, definitely not black. Ran fine, was just smoking.

 

Blue you might need a valve lap. How many hours on the top end?

 

Mower is a 2020 with 310 hours. Owned since new.

 

sounds too new for that unless there was a manufacturing defect. You have verified the sump level is within band?

 

I will act as if I know what you’re speaking of…

 

An EFI mower -- my experience is way outdated.

Any chance it was parked at an unusual angle on a ramp or hill?
Have you inspected the air cleaner lately?

 

He said "Is the oil level normal?"

 

lol! Yes sir, EFI. It’s a nice feature, better on gas, turn key and go no matter what the temp is. Air cleaner is mostly clean with the except of a few random blades of grass, I blow off everything every time I use it.

 

If that’s the case, yes. Lmao!

 

sorry, my descriptions of machine parts can be “different” than some.

 

Took a little longer than expected but I've got central air! Soo nice to be comfortable in every room of the house and not just the bedroom with a window AC.

I have some cleaning/tidying up to do around the instalation but overall the guys who did the work did a great job.

 

Do they just need to be picked up? Already paid for?

 

no, not paid for yet, but can be at any time. Thank you for responding

We have a lead on some used Kings now, since I thought no one was available to help out. Will let you guys know.

can't really beat these, especially if theres a buyer lined up for after hes used them. Background: he needed an extra pair of coilovers to put on his truck, while his current set is sent out for a rebuild.

 

And I am headed to harpers ferry in a few weeks. Gonna have to widen my search area for goodies.

 

We sent this guy some messages. Guess he doesn't want $ haha

 

Good morning fellow Pennsyltuckyvanians!!!

I gonna need a maintenance support group this summer. Just sourced a complete cooling system refresh package for my '96 Z3 - from the radiator to the water pump, thermostat and housing, hoses, belts, tensioners, pulleys....... This will be my deepest dive into any mechanical work I've done. Pray for me.
