Husqvarna Head Gaskets and What Else? 

Great video. Love that you shared the entire process. Not always as easy as we think it's going to be for sure. 👍

THANK-YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME,EFFORT AND KNOWLEDGE....NO DISRESPECT TO ANYONE BUT DROP THE ACID MUSIK....WE ALL MUCH RATHER HEAR YOU TALK SIR !!

Great video and I thought I would need to do this,, but CHECK THE SPEED CONTROL FIRST!!! Your stated check to see if smoke is coming out of the oil fill when running and mine did not. All the smoke pouring out looked the same and wouldn't stop. I then thought check the speed selector. It was off very little and moving from the rabbit to the snowflake, but very very little. I pulled it back a little when running and the smoke vanished. Runs fine and just finished mower the yard and no problems. Hopes this may help someone else before have to do the major repair.

Wow that one was quite tricky to figure out. But with your persistence and patience you got it up and running quite well. Great tips for us. Thanks for the video.

Great Fix !!! She is smoke free ! Enjoyed the video.

I’m having a leaky oil husqvarna lawn tractor problem too. I haven’t diagnosed it yet but I’ll definitely check the carburetor for leaks!

i just traded some work from my buddy for this same mower and about same dirtiest. must have got a bale of hay when said and done. Same issue. has 190 hours run time was about to list it for 300 but now shes gonna get fixed! mower cuts,drives and mows real well just smokes like a coal train! Thanks for the video.

Sears service came out changed head gaskets one time said they were just cardboard gaskets then said he was gonna put good ones on it. Then the same 24hp Briggs last year started smoking, took it apart and one compression ring was broke into three pieces, all this in less than 500hrs, now it runs good, I bought this mower in 2007. Briggs just makes cheap stuff, now I have 3 other tractors with Kohler Pro Command. Good job on your Briggs

NICE TO HAVE YOU AS MY NEIGHBOR TO STOP OVER , VISIT , GIVE YA A HAND AND SHARE MECH/ELECT. KNOWLEDGE OVER COFFEE...COFFEES ON ME..LIKE MINE STRONG...TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE EVERYONE !!

nice job good video

Great video, hope you've updated to a battery powered impact by now. They are the best.

So it was not the head gasket. Same problem after as before. You said it would only run on full choke, so starving for gas. So then looked at carb, because the other usual culprit for gas starvation is fuel pump which you previously replaced. The trouble is that you're not aware of the MASSIVE failure rate of those cheap knock-off Amazon fuel filters. The diaphragm in them ruptures very easily even when new and causes all these symptoms when they allow gas to leak back into the crankcase. Like overfilled oil which you mentioned. What you saw was actually the gas added to the oil, which will make it smoke, run rough, then not start as more & more gas is leaked. The other likely culprit is that tiny O-ring in the center of the carb wears out, allowing gas to leak thru the carb. Both fixes can be done for $25 in parts and less than an hour's time. Would have saved a lot of time & money here.

Thanks for you video.

Great video!

Excellent video and great job.

Your having carb issues. I know that rumbling a mile away. I keep 4 of those Rebuilt carbs on hand at all times.

Going to tackle same mower same problem appreciate what to. Look for as I go

what was the torque for the head bolts and setting the push rod lifter adjustments what was the feeler guage spec ?

Looks like the exact engine

PATIENCE...PATIENCE !!....AND YOU WILL WIN THE DAY !!

I would have had a nervous breakdown. You did stay calm

I v been putting a red filter between fuel pump and carb

What are the torque specs for the flywheel and the valve cover?

You'd think they'd buy a commericial grade mower after getting that one fixed so many times.

Those dam intake gaskets or AllWAYS leaking, install new ones every time, use spray to find leak Sir

How long did it take you to replace the head gaskets?

You have to sit on the sweet spot and use the brake as you turn it on my lawn mower runs like that its a Husqvarna YTH20V46

How much do you charge for labor for a job like this one.?🤔

add a link to your cleaning solution buddy

What happens when you add to much oil besides it smoking

Got a rider that was gonna be scrapped. Same v twin it’s blowing oil out muffler and dipstick tube. Assuming it’s head gasket too. One cylinder is 115psi and other cyl is 140psi should I still go after head gasket? Going to look into the crankcase breather today after I get the flywheel off.

85% of my business was head gaskets and carbs Carb repair is still all the time now due to poor gas

If you replaced that fuel filter and left the motor that dirty that head gasket is on you and the owner for not cleaning

Would the gasket set be the same for a yth26v54?

where you live do you have any problems with those tractors getting vapor lock . if so how did you solve the problem

I have the Husqvarna lgt2554 with Kohler 25HP. I bought it new in 2011. It's been a great mower. I tune it up yearly. This year, it was running very badly, would only run with the choke on. It didn't smoke at all, but just was running terrible. My mechanic said he will do a leak down test, and it may need both sides valves job, head gaskets. He will do both sides for $300. Does this sound like the problem, similar to yours? Thank you, John.

My Husky 2454 Intek 24hp has white/bluish smoke and is hard to turn over. It sounds like it has too much compression or something. But it runs fine once going. Any suggestions? Great channel and videos btw

Mine cranks . Not a gas issue not a fuel pump or fuel filter .not the spark it has compression and I rebuilders the carb I still can’t get it to turn over.

👍

I can NOT stand those WORTHLESS Plastic Manifolds. I had to modify the base of the manifold where the breather mounts due to warpage of the plastic. It seems to be a common issue with those types of manifolds. I prefer the older Metal manifold. Finding one is dang near impossible now, even on eBay.

Put a Kohler 7000 series Engine in and problem solved

old vid i know. but white smoke is not oil.. its fuel .. rich running.. blue is oil smoke. just tossin it out there. a before run would have been cool to see. but anyways old video

Mr DIY: Ya'll really need a pressure washer. Your wife could do without something special till you make life easier.

What is the torque spec on the head bolts and where did you find the gasket kit?

Also what is the valve clearance?

What did you charge for this job?

Great video!
