Not going to remove it. Just want to know rolled up and back so the safety pins can be placed.

How much head room indoors to full raise cab.

Sorry, thought I posted. Turns out the cam has roller bearings on each end where it spins in block. Top roller bearing was bad, no cage and balls shot but didn't destroy anything.

This was a s10 blazer trailer hitch and some scrap

Called the mechanic today. Now they say cam spacer went out and it took the cam bearings out. Now it's back to the cam like I figured to start with, but I've never seen the inside of a kawasaki.

Mechanic still has the machine. Still not right. They called kawasaki tech. Line,but still haven't received the correct fix. I still think it's a bad cam. I got 130 compression when I had it, but it wouldn't have it when it was supposed to. If it had of been my machine I would have opened the...

I ended up taking this mower to another mechanic. This is what I was told by him. He stated that he had to pull both heads and that the exhaust valve stems were heavily coated with carbon, to the point that the valves weren't closing. They replaced the exhaust valves. Haven't picked it up yet...

Does a b7300 have a built in over run, or does it require that you add one on the pto output shaft. I ve never ran anything off the rear pto. I've got a 40in. Cut brush hog I want to try.

OK FOUND OUT I AM STUPID. After looking at the engine today I realized this engine loads from the top instead of like a briggs. That means the cam gear is up top I guess and #1 is the ACR cylinder. That would explain the no compression on #1. Wish someone would have told me. I am now going back...

If I disregard piston position totally and turn the engine till the rocker arm is at its loosest, and then tighten down to .004 on the intakes I should be able to atleast run it. Not the case. I firmly beleave its a cam issue. I'm taking it to a dealer after I clean it up. Got new gaskets on the...

I think the acr is on cylinder #2. I'm working on cyl #1

A 89 yr. Old retired air force airplane mechanic owns this mower. He still uses and keeps the service up, but too old too still work on it.

I think the lobes are bad on cam. I think some of these engines had head and cam recalls.

I've tried it several different was. I've set the intake with the exhaust half open. Set the intake with the exhaust open. I've even turned the engine, found the low spot on cam and set lash there, but then I have no compression. It's like the cam is flat on the back side of the lobe. I wasn't...

Every cam I've seen has the comp. Release closest to cam gear. On a vertical shaft that would be lowest valve on lowest cyl. I don't have a dial indicator and magnetic base anymore or I would profile the cam. Engine only has 600 hours. I can't find a good picture to look at it.
