Was doing fall maintenance the other day and noticed a fuel leak coming from the shut off solenoid on my 700hr Deere L110 (17.5HP Kohler Command single) and decided that I'd better fix it.
Not too bad after years and years of indiscriminate fuel use (mostly E10) just parking it in the garage after last mowing (sometimes I doll them up, sometimes not and just wait for spring). The carb has been apart twice, both times to fix a sticking needle from debris.
After reading all your posts about winterizing and fuel preservation and so on, I've started feeling a bit guilty and decided to treat my OPE to some CRC Marine fuel stabilizer
While I'm at it, I'm replacing the starter too as it's been extra draggy lately and after a tear down inspection, the upper shaft bushing is TOAST!
