- This video shows how to diagnose and repair an engine oil leak in a Toro 22198 or 22298 Commercial Lawn Mower with a Kawasaki FJ180V engine. The machine shown in this video is a 22198. The disassembly of the blade brake clutch is slightly different for the later 22298 models.
Useful Part Numbers:
-Oil Seal: 92049-7008
-Seal Dimensions: 28mm x 44mm x 9mm (inside diameter/shaft diameter x outside diameter x height)
Would the issue be similar with a 22290?
I don't understand your question.
@austinado16 i have an toro 22290 with a fj180v, wondering if the issue would be the same given your diagnosis, the mowers is newer and the deck layout is very different, but the oil seems to seep from where the deck meets the bottom of the engine, also oil was mixing with fuel everytime.
@@WillFaw You have the model with the single speed transmission, no blade clutch, and the pro-sumer version of the FJ180v that doesn't have an oil filter, and uses a panel style air filter.
Since you can actually see the crankshaft, it's probably most direct for you to lay the machine on it's side, muffler facing down, and inspect. There's no way I can accurately diagnose via keyboard. It's no possible for engine oil to get into the fuel tank, and the only way for engine oil to get into the carburetor is if the machine is laid on it's side, with the carburetor facing down. With the carburetor facing down, engine oil runs through the crankcase breather hose into the air filter housing, and down into the throat of the carburetor. If, on the other hand, you have a crankcase that has fuel in it, that is due to a failed carburetor. Fuel gravity drains from the fuel tank, past the float needle in the carburetor bowl, overflows the carburetor, and flows directly into the combustion chamber. From there it runs past the piston rings, into the crankcase. You have 2 options if this is occurring: 1) Replace the failed carburetor, and start using SeaFoam in your fuel, so that your ethanol based fuel will stop chemically attacking the carburetor during storage. 2) Install an on/off fuel valve like the Briggs & Stratton 698183 that's used on most commercial machines, and is available everywhere online.
@austinado16 wow, thank you very much for taking the time out to write me all this information, I truly appreciate it!
I took to the shop where I purchased it, they charged me 300 bucks to tell me the seals have failed and then replaced belts and gaskets(which i could have done) they never mentioned anything about a carburetor however I don't know how much time they really put into it.
How can I test for a failed carburetor?
Also, again, thank you very much !
@@WillFaw I'm not clear on what you mean by "...oil was mixing with fuel every time." When describing what's going on with something mechanical, whether your mower, or your vehicle, it's important to REALLY accurately describe what you're talking about.
As I mentioned previously; if you have gasoline in the engine crankcase YOU HAVE A FAILED CARBURETOR (I'm not shouting, I'm emphasizing my point). If you have engine oil getting into the carburetor and air filter housing; THAT'S DUE TO SOMEONE LAYING THE MACHINE ON IT'S SIDE, WITH THE CARBURETOR FACING DOWN. So take a moment to figure out what you actually have happening, and then address that specific issue. The easy solution to the failed carburetor, is the $9 on/off valve that I listed. The solution to oil in the carburetor is to stop laying the machine on it's side, with the carburetor facing down. Or, if you're not the one operating your mower; tell the person who is, to stop doing that, and show them how to lay the mower on it's side with the muffler facing down.
