mowed for about 3 hours straight today 80-90 degrees had just finished and was heading back to trailer when the motor popped and alot of smoke rolled from under the hood. i shut her down and opened the hood it was very hot and the tube running from motor to bottom of air cleaner was on fire (KT17 II) blew it out and removed air cleaner assembly. after letting it cool for about half an hour it started and ran poorly it had just enough to get onto the trailer black smoke from the exhaust just before it quit. any thoughts on how bad she may be? thanks, joel

If it still runs that's a good sign. No holes in block? No oil running out? When's the last time you checked the fan, screen & shrouds for grass, mouse nests, etc.? Sounds like it was really hot. Start by removing the plugs and check compression. You may only have minor problems. Good luck.........

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
