Zen Hoh.........like a Kubota 175. two cyl 17 hp. diesel
black smoke out of engine upon starting........Starter just went out due to oil in starter..... previous owner said it had some Blow By--
Rings or worn cyls i guess
How much trouble is it to do a ring job and re-bore on this? estimated cost by average type of mechanic. My local car/truck mechanic fixes my outboard motor, car, truck,etc. with no problems and he said he has worked on tractors before. (he can re-build a Ferrari engine too)
These little tractor engines are new to me. Any one out there with previous re-build experience that could tell me if its a major problem. I am close
to Houston and down the street from a big auto machine shop. thanks! don peak
