So I went and did a bad thing.
Old Dixie Chopper zero turn mower was limping a bit, and I knew I wouldnt have a lot of time to get down to the in-laws where we use it, so I went and struck a deal on this new hoss. Pretty plush. Just one problem.
Was On the way back home(2 1/2 hrs away). Wife called and said it made a bad noise and started backfiring and blowing black smoke.
I was hoping maybe choke just stuck closed. Nephew went over and checked it. Nope. Dropped a valve. Bad rattle and fire from exhaust.
Gotta call the man in the morning.
Hoping they just replace it. Less than 4 hours on the meter.
