I looked at it alittle harder and it has 2 sight windows on the axle, one on each end and on opposite sides.it seems that it is over full I will suction some out. nowhere I seen in the operators manual it mentioned them.But it looks that there must be a internal seal that is between the hub and axle that is weeping.there is no oil on the ground.
would it be possible to drill it out for a split or cotter pin or even some saftey wire? e clips can be a pain.maybe a pic. would help us give you some ideas.
yea that is the road I am going to go down ,I am just going to use up what is here, then one engine oil 15/40.
well the overhead valve wear thing is a good thought since straight 30 wt oil is getting a little harder to find by the gal. maybe 15/40 will get put in the ohv's that I have afterall lawnmowers operate in very dusty conditions some extra antiwear propertys can not hurt.
ok with that in mind why did the chinese tag a 3 hp gas engine with 15/40 oil requirements on that genrerator and other manfs do not require it? I am puzzled.I am sure 15/40 is a better oil with that in mind why do these other manfs. do not put that in the instruction as what to use? is it to good?extends the life maybe to much?am I getting to deep?
well what I ment was the differences in the additives between 15/40 ch and 10/30 sj . off the top someones head,no big deal.
Make sure that you are using the correct pressure cap,I think around 5 psi,the radiators are thin and to much pressure could be a factor in that it split,if you do have it reworked I would have it redone with more cooling capacity,since others have said that they are on the marginal side.
write notes take pictures you can not get any cheaper references than that.and good luck ,I did not like the sticking part.
