I have a 1948 Cub, put a belly mower on it to use around the farm in Montana. I was out there last week cleaning up for winter and motor was running great for about 20 minutes. Started to miss. Went through diagnostics, found no compression on a cylinder and then removed the side cover over the valves. The intake valve spring broke on front cylinder. One keeper was laying there, I assume the other is down in the oil pan now.
Do I have to pull the head to replace the valve spring or is it possible to replace the spring without tearing it all down? This will be a job for next spring when I get out there again. Just want to have all of the needed parts on hand when I go.
