The machine is 6 years old and I'm sure has well over 100 hours use, but with no meter and no written useage records, who knows? Tore the thing down and found the intake valve spring and keeper just sitting there where they should be except they were NOT on the valve stem anymore. The keeper was not broken and I found no evidence of any other broken parts inside the engine. What could cause it to come apart? Vibration? I noticed that the bolts holding the engine to the chassis were all loose (oops....I guess checking those is not part of the dealer's checklist when I take the machine to him each spring). Also, the exhaust keeper looks much thicker than the intake keeper. The intake keeper is no thicker than a standard washer. The exhaust keeper is much beefier. Is that standard? I'm the only owner of this machine and no one has been into the engine before so it had to have come from the factory that way. Well, anyway, on Monday I'll get some gaskets and button it back up and see what we've got. Thanks for the reply. If you see anything I'm missing feel free to jump in with a comment.
