I have a 2009ish IS3100z with Kawasaki FX1000v (non DFI) engine, 700 hours.
A couple of weeks ago the pulley worked off of the right hydro pump. The pump shaft looked good so I replaced the bushing, both belts (which were fragged) and it was running again. I noticed that the deck belt pulley was bent on the electric PTO clutch.
Another thing I've noticed is the muffler seems to be leaking at a few of the welds. I can feel warm air pulsing off the end opposite the exhaust exit.
It's still running a bit rough. Not sure it's not the engine, but that PTO clutch has me wondering.
I'm not against changing both the clutch and muffler, but I could use some suggestions on whether the muffler or clutch could cause it to run rough.
Thanks, David
