Extreme novice here - great video…. As another I wasn’t sure of “where to turn the motor”… kinda understand now. My question is: there seems to be oil leaking around the right side OHV valve cover….worth tackling or take it to someone?.. Regardless - THANK YOU - great teacher /great approach!
Thank you so much for watching! If it looks like a valve cover leak I myself would for sure tackle it myself. Just unbolt the valve cover and clean the mating surfaces and install a new gasket. I'd be sure to check the valve cover for cracks in case the cover has been over torqued at some point. Other than that it's a pretty easy process
Thank you so much! Yes .004-.006 is pretty well the standard for all kawasaki engines. They offered 3 engines for the 757s 2 25HP models and a 27HP but all 3 set the same. I hope that helps and thank you so much for watching!
Hey,great easy to follow video. I have the same mower here that will randomly quit under load but fires back up by pulling the choke. It also backfires a bit. I have changed fuel pump,and pickup,fuel filter and also new plugs. I just set the valves this morning… any ideas? I’m wondering if it maybe has a weak coil.
It's ok. No I don't have a shot of it but on these series of kawasaki engines they have pulleys on the front and back of the engine. Both connect to the crankshaft. On this engine I actually grabbed the pulley on the front of the engine because it is easier to get to. It has a serpentine belt running to the hydrostats the rear pulley has the electric clutch that operates the deck belt.
This confirmed my process on my 737. Thank you!
You're welcome! Glad the video could help! Thank you for watching!
My son loved watching your video new friends thank you

@Silverback56 you are welcome! Thank you for watching! I hope it was helpful
I use a straw for getting my top dead center, "McDonald straw" a little stiffer.
@@fishinginkayaks that's a great idea! And you don't have to worry about it hurting the cylinder or the bore!

Great video my friend would a 757 be the same clearance as the 737?

Thank you for watching! I see. Ya that sounds about like the next possibility.
Gotta keep an eye on the push rods and valve guides the valve guides work there way out and acts like a bent valve causing it to bend the push rods
All around great mower love my 757 holds a bank like no other
How are you turning over the motor?
Just rolling it by hand it turns pretty easy with both plugs out of it.
Sorry I should be a bit more specific. Where specifically are you turning it at? Do you have a shot of where I need to turn? Thanks.

We have a 737 and a 757
They are great machines only complaint I have is how much debris gets in the cooling fins on the horizontal engines
