Is it possible to get that transfer tube backwards (the tube that goes from upper to lower housing) The service manual shows its position different than the parts diagrams show.
Hi, i think you might have a bad head gasket. Mine ran just like yours and the plugs looked the same. It was on the right side, setting on the tractor. After seeing the bad one i changed them both. Replaned the heads flat. Mike
