I tried looking through a few threads using the search feature, but couldn't find anything that matched my scenario. I have a k341 with a fresh rebuild. New piston, .10 under crank/rod, new valves, seats re-ground, etc. The engine starts and idles great, but after about 15min of cutting my grass it seems to be getting hot. When I checked the oil, there was what appeared to be steam slightly rising out of the fill tube. I have quite a bit of experience with motorcycles and atv's but not sure where to look on this tractor. Can you guys help?
The tractor is clean with no debris in the fan screen and I am running the side panels. I know running lean could cause an engine to run hot, and potentially a bad head gasket. I will look into both tomorrow before work. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
