Thanks for the help Bruce. I think i might be up for some gaskets as well. I am thinking I might have to do the valve clearences as she doesn't like starting hot. But if you wait a few minutes she will start with a bit of choke I tried putting some wd40 in the down the spark plug hole and when I had the carbie off I did see a bit of blow back through the intake. What is reputation of Kawasaki engines as I find it weird that she is mounted on a Scott Bonnar 45 reel instead of the normal B&S 2.5hp
