    Engine turning over

    Ha, some page. I was typing when you posted. We basically are saying the same thing.

    Engine turning over

    I too would bet on a Timing issue. Only other things can think of would be Hydro locking if way too much gas is pouring into cylinder.

    782 Hydro Leak Help

    The two large nuts you show in the picture and the relief valves. They appear to be very dry. Post #3 has a guy , Mach tech, who will take your valves, cut them open and fix them. But they looked dry.

    782 Hydro Leak Help

    If you say it's coming from the very top of the unit...I vote it's leaky Relief Valves.

    Gas not getting to carb of rtz 50

    Although the gas cap vent would be a valid issue IF the engine was stalling after a few minutes of running. You State that it runs and restarts fine. Problem lies when the machine sits. I don't think gas tank venting is an issue. I'm leaning toward the stupid shutoff on bottom of carburetor...

    Starting to feel guilty. Engine swap

    This is the engine im taking out. I haven't started in a month. Ice cold start with throttle at idle. Hence the sound of struggle on startup. Cut the camera to let it warm a bit before showing full throttle and back down. Just realized I wanted it to warm up before cranking it....on an engine...

    Starting to feel guilty. Engine swap

    Today I'm going to start up Tug (my 782) drive it behind my barn, disconnect the Snow plow, drive it back up here just to shut off the KT17 for the last time. I have an opposed twin that doesn't smoke, doesn't leak. It has no Points or Condenser. It starts like a dream in below freezing Temps...

    782 engine swap, wiring sanity check

    I have the original schematic. 10 years ago I made s new harness. No ignition key...Main toggle Switch to send 12v to coil as well as to headlight and Mule switches. Ill simply csp off the 12v wire to voil and add a switch to Ground to attach to new coil. I assumed this, was just confirming...

    782 engine swap, wiring sanity check

    The original kt17 needed 12v to the coil for the On/Off. New to me engine has a magneto setup so Now the On/Off function will be nothing electrical to Run but the Off will be Shorting that coil to Ground. Correct?

    How Difficult to Replace Wiring Harness

    No, definitely not the same color wires. I did have access to many different colors so it did help. I made a nail board so it was all layed out and cloth taped. It went in as a big one piece harness. It's been installed over 10 years now.

    Its alive!

    It sounds good. Is the battery charging too?

    How Difficult to Replace Wiring Harness

    I made my own harness from scratch for my 782. I would suggest taking masking tape to mark the ends of your new harness as to where it goes BEFORE disconnecting the old harness. This way you have a picture in your mind that all connections are accounted for.

    Help with starter on newer xt1 46"

    So that's what it was? Hydrolock in one cylinder?

    Mating Driveshaft to none standard engine

    The engine model is 422437 its an opposed twin. And, boy, I am hoping it ends up being a plug and play. Hopefully thr bolt pattern on the pull cord end will simply accept the driveshaft adapter off the Kohler K17. The gas feed, the choke bracket and throttle bracket are on the same respective...

    Mating Driveshaft to none standard engine

    Yeah, I know what it looked like. A bunch of similar tractors would show up within different groupings. Using the link I posted on previous thread, I type in "782" and I get only 22 individual parts. It doesn't show me that multil model listing like it did. If you folks click the link I gave...
