I just found a Craftsman Lawnmower in the trash that had a snapped pull cord, and watery fuel. I just fixed it, and it runs awesome! The only problem is the oil is milkshake brown. I had it checked by an expert who said the oil should be fine if it was changed. We all know that their is a little oil left in the crankcase after draining, but i would like to clean the engine of the milky brown oil. I thought of draining the oil thats in it, and running some waste oil through to clean the engine. Should i do that?
ho;;y cow. it probably uses less than a quart of oil to fill it.
why would you not use clean oil to flush out the engine.?
the whole thing would cost less than $5.00 to do it the right way.
drain the old oil. put new oil in, about 20 ounces? to fill it. make sure you check the level before starting it.
start the mower and let it run for about 10 minutes TILL THE OIL IS REAL HOT. NOW right away drain the oil before any sediments can settle to the bottom. put a large pan under the plug. take the red hot plug out with a wrench and let the plug just fall into the hot oil, you'll retrieve it later. let the oil drain for about 15 minutes tilt the mower forward a little bit and backwards a little bit to get as much of the oil out as possible. now fish that oil plug out of the warm/hot dirty oil.
put the plug back in and refill with more clean oil.
write down how much oil it took each time you filled it up for future reference.
good luck to ya.
2001 buell blast 500cc crank, no start when hot???
i just bought a 2001 buell blast changed the oil, new plug, and new gear box oil, when the bike warms up or im driving it, it will die and then cranks but no start. when the problem happens there is no spark from the coil, plenty of fuel, and plenty of air. i would think it to be the coil, but any idea's before i go waste money?????
Coil failure is extremely rare, more likely is the pulse/trigger/pickup coil or perhaps the ignition module. If you don't have a wiring diagram or the proper test equipment you are probably better off going to a dealer for repair. Talk to the service manager, tell him very specifically what its doing. A competent mechanic will quickly be able to diagnose the problem saving you from buying non-returnable electrical parts that you may not need.
