- This issue is common on nearly all fresh 4 stroke rebuilds when they smoke like mad.
This was NOT the one I just rebuilt lol!
Enjoy!

Definitely filing this one for future reference in my bookmarks as well as adding it to my list of over 3 dozen reasons small engines smoke. 👍
Great Vid!!
Wow, this takes me waaaayyy back!
I was a kid building my first of many car engines!
I miss that! Yea most of the custom rings sets I remember had red plastic buttons!
Reading assembly manuals, custom blueprint guides, even Smoky Yunick Power Secrets and all the time spent picking brains of the guys in the machine shops!
Ughhhh, soo sad,, I need a car to work on again! Maybe someday soon!
These little engines are a natural for me. I was about 10 years old helping my brother work on a VW engine!
Great Thumbnail too brutha!
Thanks Arch. We need to dual host a Saturday Night Live from Arch’s Garage!
@@KensSmallEngineRepair that would be awesome! I'd definitely tune in
Good information Ken, thanks. 👍
Great information. It’s the small things that bite you. Surprised he didn’t take it back.
He literally wanted to use it to mow his field that day! No time for a road trip hours away with unknown results!
Yes, I had this very issue in 1978 when I was a junior in vocational school where I rebuilt an 8hp Briggs vertical and the expander overlapped causing a smoke show, my teacher told me to tear it back down and figure out why.
He was Beside Himself when I said this is what I had found and he questioned me if I had seen this before, Nope first time I have seen this Mr. Boley then he replied can't believe you found the issue.
Great story!
Easy mistake to make if you don't know about the overlap. Nice one Ken. I made the mistake twenty years ago and an old time mechanic set me right
This is great information, thank you
Cool. If one of these ever comes my way I will know what to watch for. Thanks.
Very well explained Kenny 👏 thanks for sharing brother 👍 🙏
Thanks for watching Brock. I’m trying to find my stickers, they’re lost amongst my mess!
Thanks for the lesson Ken haven't heard about that before !
Good info Ken 👍🏻
Great tips and information Ken. 👋👍🏻
Well diagnosed and repaired Ken, a very informative video thanks.
It's the common sense ones that elude us! Thanks for watching Wayne!
Great video Ken, very informative 👏
Great information for future reference ken appreciate it 👍
Cool Ken.
Good video ken
Saw the thumbnail and thought SCHITT, another lithium battery bites the dust. 👍🍻
Liar... You claimed you had a thought...

@@williamemerson1799 The thing about ignorance... you never know just how dumb you are.
Good morning 👍🙏🙏🙏
Evening here!
Great video Ken, would that be the same rings in my 26hp Kawasaki liquid cooled John Deere x540??
Probably
😊👍
Is the ring end gap on the thin oil rings the same as rings 1 & 2?
Usually. On the larger K Series the end gap spec is 0.010-0.020 I usually set them at 0.012 knowing they will get wider with ring and bore wear.
This is just a random Koehler 321, not the one you featured as a rebuild last fall, right?
This one is a K301 12 hp out of a John Deere 212 Lawn and Garden tractor. The one I did was a K321 14hp from an Economy Power King SubCompact tractor, it is running sweet. Need to edit the rest of the rebuild videos
Great video Ken! Smash that 👍 button :) I also have a question ken on the old snowblower I'm trying to hook the light up. It came with a light and heated grips, well the harness is gone for everything but the light. I have two wires coming out of the light I believe one of those I have to hook to engine ground but the other one I have to hook to the red wire coming off the alternator? It has a dual circuit alternator I assume because it has a diode close to the connector on the red I assume positive side coming off the alternator. U can't buy the harness for it anymore so just trying to get the light to work. It also has a switch (no wires going to it) but that's just for the grips anyways. Lights suppose to run all the time I believe. I don't believe I can run the 2 wires on the headlight bulb right to the 2 wires coming off alternator and it will work will it? Red and black coming off alternator/stator. It has a briggs 1450 snow series engine.
It is a 2009 model husqvarna 14527 SB-LS snowblower
I know one wire has to go to ground off that light and the other wire that comes off that light I believe has to go to one of the wires off the stator which is a red with a diode and a regular black wire. Would I have to connect the light to the red with the diode or too the black without the diode? I'm not great with electrical either I'd let the smoke fly or I'd get it to work lol
Usually the wire WITHOUT the diode will supply AC voltage that can be used for a light. Being unregulated AC the light will brighten as RPM increases. The other lamp wire is ground. The diode in the other wire inverts the AC in that wire to half-wave rectified DC that can power 12 volt circuits such as heated grips and to charge a battery. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!

@@KensSmallEngineRepair it helps alot ken. I've been subscribed for a long time buddy. So I have to hook one wire to the black off the stator from the headlight and one wire to a engine ground. Glad I talked to you because I would of hooked it to the red wire with the diode 😂
@@KensSmallEngineRepair so what I'll do on the black wire on the stator from the light I'll put a female molex because it's a male connector coming off stator and I'll just leave the red wire with a female pin (not hooked up)
