    No nasty noises, just loss of power and now running rougher, plugs started fouling with oil. I would lay odds on the headgasket. I used to work on cars and bikes when I was much younger (Dad was a genius of a Mechanic)R.I.P. I am going to do the headgaskets, it is the least expensive and makes the most sense, with the cylinder pressures being equal and quite high I am doubtful it is the rings. I wish I had everything in my life maintainence free

    302 hours on engine, was a loss of power while mowing so I stopped, checked the oil. It was a bit low but still on the dipstick. So I proceeded to do the oil change and etc. It started smoking lightly right about the time I noticed a loss of power. Then it started smoking alot. I found tonight that the oil was coming up the tube and there was enough oil coming up that there was maybe 10cc of oil collected on the air cleaner base plate after it had run only a minute.(I had cleaned it all off prior to starting it) Until this happened on sunday the motor ran extremely well, never had to add oil before that.

    Is the tube between the vent and carb/air cleaner full of liquid oil? What did you clean out? Did it look like the attached pic? YES, it was partially full of oil. I rechecked the oil level and it is perfect. SAE 30 oil was used.

    The oil is coming through the top end via the crankcase vent (PCV) I cleaned it using non clorinated brakleen, made sure it moves (about 2mm?) and put it back on. Same thing, oil coming through it and so it goes down the carb and gets burned, thus smoking like a mosquito abatement truck. WTF? replace the valve? or what else is causing this?

    Air cooled.... Kinda like a PCV valve? Thanks....I will check it right now

    I have a Vanguard V Twin 16hp motor on my cub cadet. It has started burning oil, it compression checks on both cylinders @110lbs/in. What the hell is going on here? Rings? Headgaskets? Something else? I have replaced the plugs and oil filter/change and everything is fine there. Both plugs had oil on them and were very fouled. Anyone know what is happening?

    when it comes to the issue of fireams violence the anti gun zealots consider 25 years of age the age of adulthood. Statistics are the biggest tool of liars.

    It is a sad thing that the Dr. did not leave the perps as a pile of human debris. Complying with a criminals demands means you will die if they so choose. Criminals should fear their victims.

    Agreed

    The rafale is actually pretty damned good at relatively low speeds, per the design requirements. Computers and FBW are wonderful things.

    Max if I met you I think your impressions of me would be correct. I said your impressions, not someone else's

    Practice mag changes and hitting a target after push ups or after running around your car 10 times. Adrenaline needs to be controlled. Practice headshots, you do not always get center mass opportuninty, and there may be a hostage involved. Tell your cohabitants that if held and gunpoint to simply fall to the floor as hard as they can, take the shot. Also train your family to properly use firearms, you may not always be home. I would never want to have the weapons turned on them.

    Shotguns are nice for home protection if you live alone. Use 00 buckshot or BBB If there are others in your houshold you may want an AR15 with a red dot sight (eotech etc.) With proper ammuntion, the penetration through walls is less that that of a 9mm. I have never touched a firearm in my life, but I did stay in a holiday inn once. I use all three you just never know what you may need.

    BTW it is a magazine, not a clip

    DO NOT EVER SHOOT RELOADS IN A GLOCK having said that, I see no reason for it to have a FTF. some ammunition is notorius for having failures. when you have a FTF does it make a pop? Is there a dent in the primer? When it failed to hold open it may have been due to insufficient charge of powder in the loaded round. What brand, and if possible, lot number?
