Jerry77 1,218 #1 Posted May 19, 2016 Hey, I need some advice....got this 516H a few weeks ago and have been going over it. Runs good after you finally get it started - has a clear fuel filter and looks like the pump is very weak..thinking about putting a low pressure electric in it...need advice on that and also I had put chains on it for pushing dirt and gravel and have noticed that there is only about an inch or less clearance between the chain and the hydro cooling fan - scary - anyone else think this could be a problem - thanks in advance for any and all advice .. I surely do appreciate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,499 #2 Posted May 19, 2016 This model has an Eaton 700 transmission which is not meant for ground engaging attachments. Think I would limit traction by leaving the chains off to save the transmission. Garry 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slammer302 2,154 #4 Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) If it's running well at wide open throttle I would say the pump is working as it should. You may take the air cleaner off and make sure the choke butterfly is shutting all the way.This could help the hard starting And maybe a good carb cleaning. I never understood why they put the Eaton 700 in the 516H maybe you got lucky and got one of the few good 700's Edited May 20, 2016 by slammer302 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jerry77 1,218 #6 Posted May 20, 2016 Thanks to all for the advice - believe I will remove the chains - tranny seems strong, but it is old ( like me, he he) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
