Retired Wrencher 6,581 #1 Posted 2 hours ago I have been noticing a new noise coming from the K241 lately A friend told me yesterday it sounds like balance gears are bad. He sent me a picture of them. Can I still use this engine just around the house? I am not a master mechanic. so it is above my pay scale. Let me know your thoughts.
