I had a service manager at a small engine repair
shop told me I had a blown head gasket on my 20
hp kohler causing the cylinder to run 50 degrees
cooler and richer. How can a blown head gasket
cause a cylinder to run rich. BTW, the exhaust
temps are the same.
I did a compression test and discovered the
cylinder with a so called blown head gasket has
180#. The hotter cylinder, the one that runs
cleaner, has 165#.
Plan to do a leak down test tomorrow.
What are the symptoms of an engine with a blown
head gasket?
