oldredrider 2,547 #2 Posted October 21, 2014 The carburetor is DIRTY! Remove it from the engine and soak it in carb cleaner...does a world of good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jessejohn 0 #4 Posted October 21, 2014 I noticed I little oil under my cylinder head when I moved it the other day. Any chance it could be the cylinder head gasket? The carburetor is DIRTY!

Desko 552 #5 Posted October 22, 2014 Only if its OHV but in that model its a flat head unless someone changed the engine so no but it could be coming from the breather or the carb and leaking down and dripping from the head Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
