Kentucky Wash Pros: you showed us the used oil and said there was a little bit of shiny stuff, and it was okay. I didn't see Any shiny stuff, and What Defines NOT Okay??? How much is too much? And what are we supposed to do if there Is Too Much?

[@codygrant1764]

Very helpful ol son ty🤙

[@bradrichards6107]

Great video. Where did you buy the skid plate? I want to do a similar build.

[@bottomlinebassin2001]

Any plans on a external fuel tank? Those are great engines for the money! Thanks for the vid brother

[@landybob8393]

Thanks for a thorough video. Most clowns on CZcams don’t understand what a how to video means. Thanks

[@armandolopez2412]

Great video. Very well explained. Do you know about any water pump compatible with this engine? Thanks!!

[@petedetraglia4776]

Prior to your initial start you could of pulled out the spark plug, cycled it a few times slowly with the pull start to get oil up in the cylinder, and then put the spark plug back in and started it for the initial break in period of an hour at idle. Getting oil up in the cylinder prior to the initial start saves a lot of wear and tear on the cylinder, ring, and piston...

[@raghavdandamudi847]

Hi i was wondering if why you have to break it in and is it necessary

[@tjburkecreative]

What is the hour meter you have on there?

[@nadinetaylor9752]

Would I be able to use full synthetic 10w-30 oil for this motor

[@emorymoore9922]

Is this the same for the predator pressure washer?

[@henrysmith8012]

As far as break in gos, you really need to put a load on it. But it's not rocket science.

[@JuniorMuhubao]

Did your engine ever smoke up a bit after tilting it?

[@manuelslp7264]

How’s that motor doing?

[@JakeSmith-hh4jk]

Don’t you need to run water through it when running?

[@violencegamer6329]

Hi

[@radioguy801]

Awesome video brother! One thing I thought I'd mention after recently watching another video about the Honda GX.. the guy showed the dipstick on these engines is basically useless and that you should fill the oil to the threads. I confirmed this with my local small engine repair shop. Have a good one!

Oil is not oil.
