CC 679cc EFI OHV Running Rich
 
I have a XT2 LX46 EFI FAV with only 79 hours on it. Only run non-Ethanol fuel in it.

Over the summer it started running rough. I found the plugs were dry, black soot covered. I cleaned and checked the gaps and in ran better. Started running rough again before winter, cleaned them again. While pushing snow yesterday and loaded it down pretty good it stumbled, chugged, backfired and belched black smoke for the 1st time. I made it through the plowing and once again they were sooty.

I also noticed more of a gas smell through the exhaust, more running rich signs. It also seems to lag when I increased or decreased the throttle. It didn't snap to full power when pushing it to full, not drop to idle when done working before turning off.

Air filter was cleaned at end of summer.

Ideas please before I have to pay the dealer to come pick it up for warranty repairs?

If the tractor is covered by an OEM warranty, what is the issue ? :Huh:

Thank you Roland.

If it's something simple I'd rather fix/adjust it myself and avoid a $100 pickup/deliver fee. Plus I'm not sure yet how backed up they may be after all of the recent snow.

Plus others may experience the same issue and not be under warranty.

$100 for a pick up under warranty...??? :bigeyes:

So what dealers offer 20 mile free pickup/delivery? I've never had a car dealer do it either.

Has anyone else had this issue and resolved it?
