336 Hours. Oil has been changed 3 times.

I was mowing not real heavy grass. It lost power. I lifted the deck and it quit.

The water temp was normal. The oil is normal.

If you try to start it lots of black smoke. Engine shakes bad.

I locked the brakes and drug it back to the shop.

I pulled the fuel line and it pumps lots of fuel.

I drained the oil and cut open the filter. No metal or anything was found.

I un plugged the stop solenoid. I started and ran for about 15 seconds.

After that it would idle. It did not sound right if you rev it up.

I let it sit for a day.

One injector was dirty on the outside. Maybe a compression leak. I cleaned it with air and brake cleaner.

It sounds good now. I did not put a load on it because it was raining.

I think somehow it got real rich.
