I bought a new SCAG walk behind a couple of years back. I maintain it pretty well. Just curious if anyone has adjusted the valves.
When I changed out the 2 plugs I noticed one side was more lean than the other. I figured a valve adjustment would do it good. Anyone ever tackle this?

i work on alot of scag and have seen where one side of the plug is leaner than the other. i have seen valve adjustment fix this and i have seen this when the head gasket is blown on one side and barely leaking

Yikes. On mine, one plug was rich, and the other plug was lean. I figured a slight valve adjustment would take care of it.
