Yeah that's most likely what I'll end up going with. I've found a lot of parts but typically the only fitment specifics listed are that the kits fit the 580B. Since it has 2 different engine options (gas and diesel), and both engines are the same displacement, it doesn't inspire a lot of...

Hey all. I know it isn't orange but it's close. I've picked up a new toy for a good price that needs work. It has the G188D diesel with the 4 speed power shuttle transmission. It came with a front loader that doesn't leak and a backhoe that leaks like a sieve. It also came with an oil leak...

2021 Honda CMX500ABS. This will be my second year of riding. The last thing I did was fill the fuel tank to the brim with some 93 Octane treated with Seafoam and Stabil, put the battery tender on it and covered it.

I wanted to update the post in case this gets searched. I removed 1 shim from the injection pump and my timing mark lined up perfectly on the flywheel/bellhousing window. The engine started very smoothly with minimal smoke. It ran much stronger and the water temperature never exceeded 200°F...

Update... Adjusted cold valve lash. Cylinders 1 and 2 were a tad snug at ~.006, cylinder 3 was a tad loose at ~.009. All valves are now adjusted to approximately .007 Checked injection pump timing and it seems a bit late to me. I removed the hardline from pump to injector on cylinder 1 and...

Thank you for the reminder. Hadn't thought of checking that in a while. I need to add that to my start of season tune-up.

Thank you for that! That's exactly what I was after. My electronic copy may be incomplete. I'll post back after I've checked / adjusted timing with the results.

As the title suggests, I'm curious about the process of adjusting the injection pump timing on my b7100. I have the WSM, and it describes how to check said timing, only saying if it isn't correct, to adjust it. I can't find where it talks about doing that. Here's the reason I want to check it...

To answer your question simply; Yes, Seafoam works to keep the top end clean. Best if done on a consistent basis, like just before an oil change. Seafoam has been around for a long while, and it works some pretty impressive buildup loose. There will always be naysayers, but I've seen the...

Check out Project Farm on YouTube. He's done many videos using Briggs and Stratton engines to show real-world results of using these products. I use Seafoam and Marvel Mystery Oil for any top-end cleanings now. It really comes down to personal opinion. I've always run additives in my carb'd...

My apologies for the delayed response on this. He found the issue after a few hours of poking through his WSM... There was a small stick hiding behind the lever that was preventing him from engaging the lever. Thank you for replying and offering some assistance.

My dad has a B2630 HST that doesn't want to go into Mid PTO only to run the MMM. It will go into Rear only, and rear/mid, but no Mid only. Anybody happen to have run into this? Also, anybody have a good WSM download? I checked on kubotabooks, and it wasn't there. Thank you for any assistance!

I had no idea high boy was a nickname. I'd always seen that term thrown around like it was a factory 'feature'. My assumtion was incorrect. Thanks for the insight! My next step in that department will be to find the factory 4x4 F150 height, then determine how much lift is on it. I knew it...

Your story is similar to my Dad's. After running an 8N on his 20 acres for almost 22 years, he bought himself a B2630. He still has the 8N, although right now it won't run (ignition). What is your driveway surface? If it's gravel, I personally would lean away from a blower. My drive is also...

Hello fellow orange addicts! Just purchased another project. As the title says, it's a 1977 Ford F150. Although it's not orange, (it's been contemplated :cool: ) these particular year range of trucks have a special place for me since my first vehicle was a 79 F100. This one has the 300 L6...
