Oil & Fuel CK 20 has oil burning smell when I use it.

[Darrel]

I have a Kioti CK 20 with around 200 + hrs on it . I change the engine oil a couple months ago and every since when I run it it smells like oil burning. I have looked it all over and cannot find anything wrong . When I first ran it after the change I thought I spilled some oil around the exhaust and it would stop. But it is still doing this. It is not burning any oil and everything looks right . Any ideas.

U could get a can or 2 of Brake Clean from the parts store or walmart.. spray it on the exhaust w/ a COOL ENGINE..
It could be a belt burning,??

I don't have the CK20, but in most equipment, the oil filter is placed just perfectly to drip all over the exhaust or other hot surface. Oil is pretty pervasive, and can flow into places you can't see. I'd check the oil filter to make sure it's on snug (don't wrench it on), and that it's not leaking oil anywhere. Other than that, agree with what thepumpguysc said. Hose it down with brake clean (watch the paint), or you can just run it a few times and let the oil burn off. Not much to worry about if the oil level is still good.
