well Maryland had a bad winter plus i didn't give the loader proper attention during the winter. the tarp blew off and the loader was covered with snow multiple times. some how water got in the hydraulic tank and not just the normal amount from building up over time, something like 2-3 quarts of water was drained out. heres a pic. there's some oil on top, also a small amount of oil water mixed (grey)
so on a warmer day i pulled that out of the tank. I got to the engine a couple days later and it was low temps again. I couldn't get teh carb to play nice so i pulled it apart to clean it and it was a frozen block of ice.
I was already unhappy with this old worn out engine (k321) last year that i didn't hesitate to start shopping for a new engine. honestly if i had the cash i would have bought a better engine. but if the harbor freight 420cc last a few years it wil have done it's job.
any way i'll be pulling every hose the main pump and the drive motor apart in the coming weeks to clear them of any water and then put it all back together with the new motor.
gonna be fun.
