Mine caught fire the other day. It had been in the shop 3 times under warranty with electrical problems. It seems to be a short from mis assembly on the top of the shroud causing a pinched wire to the fuel shut off at the carb . I think MTD needs to have a recall on these many have had fires on here .
I use a shop fan while I’m testing a engine every time
Just to keep it cool 😎
Good idea!
I got 3 set at shop with the 7000 kohler engine, top burned off all 3 of them 😢
Better really check during mowing job

100%
Better not run it with out the engine cover on it. It will over heat and blow up
I don’t like any single cly engine but the honda GX series period 😊😊😊
