rmaynard 15,610 #3 Posted April 7, 2014 He is referring to the cam on the hydro. Nate, do you have the manual, or are you trying to do this job in the blind? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nathanielperz 150 #5 Posted April 7, 2014 Never mind i got it off and i was doing it blind i did have the diagram the entire thing that i printed out though... i didn't realize that the forwards and reverse lever had one of those pins with the hole in the middle and i couldnt figure out why is wouldnt come off. I fixed it and i think i fixed the leak fingers crossed! i dethached the yard with it yesterday... my neighbors probably hate me because i was running it with no exhaust... You know what kind of oil goes in a k301? Thanks Nate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmsgaffer 2,045 #8 Posted April 7, 2014 According to the K series service manual, 10W-30 or 10W-40 is for 0*F - 32*F (but not above!). 5W-30 or 5W-40 is recommended if you drop below 0*F in the winter. It says if you use any 10W-X or lower oil during the summer it will "substantially increase oil consumption and combustion chamber deposits" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nathanielperz 150 #9 Posted April 7, 2014 What type of oil is 10w-x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmsgaffer 2,045 #10 Posted April 7, 2014 Ah sorry, I just used the X in place of re listing all the different types of 10W multi-viscosity oil. So basically use only straight 30W in the summer, dont use anything that has a dash in it like 10W-30, 10W-40, 5W-30, 5W-40. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
