I use Amsoil Severe Gear 75/140 in my Kubota mower. Takes about 1 qt. Buy a couple of qts to be sure that you have enough. You can save the leftover oil for the next time. Have you figured out how to get the oil out yet? I used a small hand pump to suck the oil out…. I change it every even...

A couple of things for you guys. Turning off the fuel and letting the engine starve to empty the carburetor is actually not quite what happens. Yes the engine will starve and stall, BUT there is still a tablespoon or two left in the bowl. Almost all Honda small engines have a convenient drain...

Try a cetane boost. I use the Amsoil Clean/Cetane and find it reduces cranking time and diesel knock on a cold start…

Have you ever greased the front suspension?

Don’t you mean “low side”?

Lotsa satisfaction when a job is successfully completed!! Can I advise you to use a cetane improver additive? You will be amazed at the reduced rattle on cold startup…

Just remember that biocide kills the (microbes)bug….but doesn’t clean the fuel system. That’s the big part of the job. Draining/flushing the complete system and multiple filter changes. Best to prevent the problem in the first place 😉

What fuel additives are you using, if any? You might need to add a biocide at least…

I agree. But at “the first service” would be a perfect time to have the dealership get oil on their sleeves…

Can’t believe that you’ve put up with this for a year….without talking to your dealer!? However, in case I’m not understanding you properly. Pull the lever, to raise arms up. Push the lever, to lower arms. Push lever to the right, bucket dumps. Pull lever left, bucket curls up…

Start with the Owners manual/dealer recommendations and then consider your location in the world to assist with your decision….

….and keep the tank topped off, or fix the fuel gauge 🥴

What maintenance history has the transmission had, besides the warranty repair?

The ones for the house never get used so they been sitting 15 years now,--no time to mess with them! I wouldn’t worry about them too much 😁

Serviced my neighbour's Honda eg650 generator today. Unknown hours, but runs great and makes power, albeit a few hz high. It’s a cool little gem …
