Motor threw a rod. Since it is somewhat a "rare" model, I opted to have the motor replaced or rebuilt just like the factory motor. It is not a common motor so they couldn't find a replacement that they would warranty, so they sent the motor to Jasper Engines to be rebuilt. It has come back, but I still not have it back yet. I expect to have it in this week. The oil level had dropped too low and that is why it threw a rod. No leaks, unclear how the oil level got too low. Sometimes when I started it up, it would smoke initially, then it seemed fine. I'm having them install a real oil pressure gauge as well. |
