Although this issue is with a Kohler, the problem identified can apply to any oil pump type engine. The cause is quite uncommon for those who perform consistent routine maintenance on their engines.
Hi ferd, can you advise me how to fix my rear height adjustment lever plz? It's a 2002 honda 535 hdr. The metal lever pops out and won't stay in the groove. Much appreciated..ty
@@Anonymices343 Sounds like its bent out of shape not springing back and locking. In the Honda hrx video ( th-cam.com/video/TTemwVPcHFM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sUK_E_I5OB0atdai ) they are much the same as far as taking them off to bend it back or replacing it. They are kind of spring loaded.
@@Anonymices343 I found the pic you posted. I have to admit Ive never seen this setup before. It seems to be a style sold outside the US. I did research it and the diagrams I found for it as well. Have you checked the other side of the roller assembly for loose bolts over there? It looks that if its loose over there it could kick out the adjuster. In this diagram ( www.lsengineers.co.uk/rear-roller-and-heaight-adjuster-assembly-for-honda-hrd535-mem-pro-lawnmower.html ) part #6 adjuster is spring loaded by itself and should take some effort to pull out for adjusting. The pic looks like it could be worn out. I see them on Amazon and ebay for around $10 us.
Great find.
After popping the case I admit I was a little scared. Such a relief to find the actual cause of the problem. Thanks for watching.
Interesting Ferd, hopefully your easy access oil drain pipe will encourage your customers to do more frequent oil changes.. Cheers, Simon..
Yes indeed.

@CaptFerd thx , I've watched that video. My mower has a spring. Could I send a pic to email maybe ?
