Hey guys, sorry I dont have a picture, but the right plug (when your sitting on the tractor) was so carboned up you couldnt see the electrode or anything. Just one big piece of carbon.
Story goes, this thing has been starting to smoke and its just really annoying the guy.
Its a 23hp Briggs v-twin from 2008. With only 180 hours on it.
Other things Ive found are,
The air filter was literally plugged with dirt. I dont have a clue as to how it was running.
The intake valve is a tad loose. Definitely not the 5 thousandths spec.
And its smoking.
Intake wasnt dirty enough to make me suspect the rings are gone.
I think maybe the super carboned up plug was just causing it to smoke, but what would make that plug carbon up so bad?
Gonna clean the carb today, do a compression test, and put in new plugs then run her for a while and see what happens. Will also test for headgasket leak too. The motor is CLEAN on the outside minus the air filter.
Oh yeah, whats the correct plug for this motor? The guy has some kind of bosch in it. Any other plug recommendations?
