Question Kohler Command 22hp bent pushrods
Hey guys,

I drug home a 3240 with a 22hp command in it. After looking at it I found a bent pushrod on the right hand head (viewed sitting in seat). I put a new pushrod in it and it bent that one too. I can open the valve by hand. So, what would cause a bent pushrod? The oil is a little over full. The guy we bought it from was mowing with it and it quit on him. It puffed a blue puff of smoke and died. He added oil and it wouldnt start back. The fins look like they need to be cleaned, also. Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Stuart
