I have an LTX 1045 Cub. When the engines cold everything is fine, but after mowing a few minutes and stop and let it idle it begines to backfire out the exhaust. I am wondering about a timing issue, but runs fine at full throttle mowing. Anyone with a solution?
I bought an LT1042 at a sale a few weeks ago. The engine sounds like my Grandma's pressure cooker on top of the stove. I changed the head gasket but still sounds the same. No knocking or clanging, just a hissing sound. The more throttle the louder it gets. Is that what a Kohler courage sounds...
