i wish i could be lame on my mtd/cc. it wouldn't start yesterday, the sv730 cranked like a close to bad battery,or weak starter
knowing all to well about loose valves and auto compression releases, i adjusted the valves, of course found very loose exhaust . still cranked hard, smoke came out of the starter motor, took it off and apart cleaned the armature and brushes ,oiled the dry oilite bushings and drive. turned over like new.
but ran rough, pulled the plugs, left side was wet. right side perfect, check the spark. WEAK, o-well hand over $75.00 + tax to the shop for a new coil.

runs better yet smokes a little, did a compression test OK, check the leak down, test's about 35% left side, no wonder it smoked more on left turns. 300 hours on the clock.
tell the other half i need to spend a few hundred for a real kohler rebuild kit, or find a CV that fits rather to keep dealing with a SV 730
o-well there goes the NOV. SS check
