Started it today ran few a minutes then it made a funny noise like a puff puff and cut off. It cranks over but sounds like a vavle stuck open or compression release stuck open or vavle adjustment backed off. Is this something that has happened to others? This Gator is 3 years old 100 hours.
 
Pop the valve cover off. I have had them pop a push rod off. Reinstall and adjust the vale an they are good to go. Never could figure out why they did it the first time.
 
This Gator vavle cover is real close to the transaxel looks hard to get off unlike one I have that is 18 years old 4000 hours runs good but has more room to get off.
 
Before you do anything check the compression. If there is valve issue the compression will be low or none.
 
My 550s4 gator did that and found out they had bad head gaskets. The darn thing sucked all the oil out and locked up. It was right at a year old so they would not warranty it even though Deere know there was a problem. Cost me $1600 for a new motor and now it's not shifting right another know problem but again no warranty. As soon as it's fixed I am trading it in on a Polaris.
