Phan 29 #1 Posted August 6 I have had for three years but have never drived or started. After installing the engine pulley, I've noticed that: Engine oil came out through the (lowest) nut - I am not sure the issue. There is also white smoke and the engine looks weak. Any suggestions? Thanks your veru much! B80 - Engine oil came.webm 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,242 #2 Posted August 6 Well that's a first for me! Put a bolt in it. But you should probably drop that oil pan and get the cast metal pieces out if they're still in there. Someone must've buried a bolt into the hole too deep and cracked open the inside of the block. A bolt will seal it. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 51,910 #5 Posted August 6 That's a blind hole for other purposes. Best guess is someone ran too long of a bolt in and blew out the boss on the inside. Run a 1/2" bolt in it gooped up with some silicone and run it like ya stole it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A bolt will seal it. That is a straight thread and will require a good cleaning using spray brake cleaner and a suitable thread sealant on the bolt. Permatex #2 is a great choice for this. It's a bit messy to use, but coat the threads completely. That #2 never hardens (unlike their #1 sealant) and is fine with oil. Bolt length about 3/4" should be fine. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,242 #7 Posted August 6 Another observation. If you move that throttle cable wire to the arm on the disc it will give it a much better throttle range and better control 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeM 8,429 #9 Posted August 6 (edited) Is there a belt wire supposed to be bolted in that hole? Supports the belt when de-clutched Edited August 6 by JoeM 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 67,042 #10 Posted August 7 My opinion, I’d clean that thread to the best of my ability and get a short set screw. Loctite Red it and run it in to the bottom. Make it a permanent thing that can’t be removed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supports the belt when de-clutched Bingo..Here is my 312-8 showing that belt guide and bolt. Yours should have that guide bolted in. Oil leak is likely from someone jamming in a bolt that was too long and cracking the block. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phan 29 #12 Posted August 12 Hello Cleat: I am unsure whether it had a bolt for the belt support. However, I intalled a bolt with thread sealant and it seems to be preventing any leaks. I will post a picture of it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,242 #13 Posted August 12 Confusing. Is @Phan and @Pokk the same person with 2 different screen names? Or, is there a serial "long bolt driver" operating in the Toronto area causing Kohler block leaks all over town? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phan 29 #14 Posted Friday at 08:43 PM Wallfish - I apologize - Phan or Pokk is the same. I created Phan (2021), for a reason (login issues?) I created Pokk. I want to keep only one but I don't know how. I wish someone could help! I have no idea - Three years ago, I purchased the B80 from a person in Windsor for 800 CAD because he included a snow plow and I needed it. The B80 does not start and the PTO was apart. That is all I kow from him :))) I am still working on it for other issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the mods like @Sparky can probably help you out with the screen name thing. Or just log in with only one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
