Next issue with the little Cub tractor is when I pulled the dipstick to check the engine oil, I noticed it seemed a little "thin" and runny. Almost immediately I could smell gasoline. Apparently it is mixing in with the engine oil. What would be the cause for this to happen, and what would be the solution to fix the problem. What about Troubleshooting??
Here is what I know so far:
* The tractor spins a little longer than normal before it "fires".
* Once it fires like it wants to run, it takes a little bit of choke to get it going from initial "fire".
* After the tractor sits and runs for approximately 2 minutes (without choke) at half throttle, it suddenly wants to die. If you "play with" the choke; the engine will stay running.
All of those signs tell me it must be something wrong with the carburetor and it probably woudln't hurt for a rebuild of the carburetor. The hood is off the tractor, therefore the tank/sediment bowl possibility can be ruled out. I am just letting you all know its doing this in case it has something to do with the Gasoiline getting into the Engine Oil.
THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM EVERYONE!
