1500 hrs and never been done. That’s impressive! Great job! You are very meticulous in your work, in scraping the old gasket off, getting all the old oil out of the valve cover etc. It’s nice to see the care that goes into your jobs.
I have four 33 hp. EFI Yamahas with 2500 hrs. each, never done valve adjustment and they still run cock strong, best engines I have ever ran and we have ran all of them. Two 2018 Husqvarna Z560X and Two Z572X, best mowers we have ever ran.
I run the Kawasaki in the z554x. It’s been a great machine for me, productive and reliable. I wondered how the Yamahas were, that’s a lot of hours and they are still doing strong. Rest of the machine holding up well?
Thanks for the tour. I did this job yesterday and was curious if it could have been easier if I knew some tip or trick. It took several tries to get the clearances right. I appreciate the simplicity of this system but I dont like it. I wish there was an easier way to achieve precision.
I work on Scag or Tiger Cat all the time, great machine if you take care of them regular service and check engine bolts that hold engine to frame 🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧
Started watching this yesterday, so it was a two parter for me lol,,, I watch em from start to finish and learn more each time, I used to mess with mopeds and go carts but never got my head round timing. It’s a bloody science TBone
Yes it does. As rough as the machine looks the customer does keep up with the maintenance. He even has a new deck on order for it. Thanks for watching my friend.
Wow... thank you. We really appreciate you taking the time to watch us. Our ultimate goal is to help people repair their equipment and save some money. Thank you my friend. Don't know about master, lol, but thanks so very much.
Nicely done. I was a bit intimidated by this but this video helped me understand this process much better. Thanks. I noticed that you didn't use any sealer when you installed the new gaskets. Is that standard practice? Thanks again.
It was a huge difference in person, the camera just didn't pick up the sound very good. I generally don't replace them unless there is an issue. Keep in mind the repairs made was an educated guess from the info. the customer gave me. This customer has a good working knowledge of his equipment and does a lot of his own maintenance and repairs. I will know next week if my guess was correct, if not I will be replacing the electric fuel pump. Thank you so much have a wonderful day.
hey brother.. do you know on this FT730V engine if you can set the WOT throttle rpms with the turn of a screw or if you gotta do with kawasaki software since it is EFI fuel injected? Mine is running at 3,000rpm wot and the engine specs say it should be 3,600rpms any help? thanks..

Always something good💪🏽💯
thank you sir
Enjoyed as always. Keep putting content out and watch your channel grow like wildfire. Thanks raileys small engine
Thanks for watching!
It did sound a little better for sure. Is that fuel pump replacement routine after so many hours?
It was a huge difference in person, the camera just didn't pick up the sound very good. I generally don't replace them unless there is an issue.

How did u learn small engine repair
Started tinkering and fixing anything that broke back in the early 70s, a whole lifetime.
@@RaleysSmallEngines ok cool
No mowing in West Texas, grass, weeds and even grass burs have died this year
Terrible dry
