I think you're correct in that the customer was hoping that you would cover the cost on this one. Glad to see you doing your homework.

[@philliphall5198]

Good eye for sure, seems to be best to change both boots 😊 Very good job 😊

[@IndRepair]

Definitely best practice but it looked like the other one was already replaced at some point because it was in perfect shape. Maybe this cylinder has been getting hotter causing the cracking and almost melting look to it. Thank you!

[@Big_Johns]

Nice job catching that tiny arc and I'm glad you had the pic of the TRUE hours from the previous repair. 🤣👍

[@IndRepair]

Haha thank you! I sure am glad to have had it too. This was something completely different but if it turned out to be a similar repair we may have seen some issues. Thanks for watching!

[@Big_Johns]

So true brother and anytime. 👍🏼

[@alberteller7286]

Excellent diagnosing looks like you hit the nail right on the head. I love watching your shows because it seems you go right to the problem. I guess you worked on them a long time the good work out thank you for your service.

[@IndRepair]

I am glad you like watching I appreciate that!

[@steveriggenbach90]

Great catch. Goes to show, don’t just ripping into it. Check the small stuff first.

[@IndRepair]

Definitely start with the small stuff!

12 hours 🤣🤣 Honest officer I only had one beer.

[@IndRepair]

I know it had me rolling when I looked at the numbers I could not even believe it!!

[@philliphall5198]

Could a weak damaged plug also cause this where it not getting a good grounding 😮

[@IndRepair]

For sure! A cracked plug can sometimes cause the same issue where it will jump back to ground somewhere other than the outside edge

[@rickbroerman9267]

What was that thing you took about that needs the o-ring

[@IndRepair]

It is a crankcase breather

[@rickbroerman9267]

I've never noticed one like that before. What engines have the O-ring like that.

[@leosweeney7955]

Yup, love how they never tell the whole story, and expect u/us to figure it out!!!! Or, be "why it take so long, or "it couldn't be that""!!!

[@IndRepair]

Haha for sure!

[@philliphall5198]

250 hours is a lot of mowing to be wanting warranty 😢

[@IndRepair]

Yeah for sure! Ha I am not positive that was what he was getting at he was really nice just mentioning it with such surety made me think if the issue was any way similar (sounded like it was similar) I would be hearing about it
