Hi all, see video. I picked up a 210 with mower and bagger the other day. Cleaned out the fuel tank, and put in a new battery and this is what it ran like. Am I right to guess that this thing needs rings/piston work badly due to blowby? It shows over 1700 hours on the hobbs meter.

Thanks and enjoy!

Pape,
Pull the head and take a look. I have seen some of those old Kohlers that just needed rings, cylinder walls and pistons were fine.

The piston actually looks good, oil control rings not as tight as I expected they would be but seem to be working good. Looks like a lot of oil might be leaking past the valve guides.
