Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

     

I was asked to post pictures of the first oil change, so here they are:

Oil was a bit dirty, after about 7 hours use, did get a full liter out, so doesn't appear to use any, at this point.

I did not have to take all the covers off, only did to see/show what is under the hood

There are Rubber engine mounts to reduce vibration. Also rubber and foam seals, which kept the inside very clean, and reduce noise. My neighbour can not believe how quite it is.

Oil Drain and Fill Side:

Carb and Muffler Side:

Front Shot:

Just to Remember what it looks like together:

It was nice to see what was under the hood, the workmanship is Outstanding.

I ops manual gives all the Torque settings, for all the Bolts, including cover bolts, so I was able to install everything back to to specs.

I am very impressed with the attention to detail that went into building this unit.

Your Yamaha makes oil  change FUN and beautiful.  My oil change was simple and uneventful without any beauty unlike yours.

Is that RUST around the spout in the second picture?  Look like you been neglecting that machine.  Can't give much for a machine in this condition but I'll take it off your hands for, say, $2100

I will give you $2150 cash in US currency.

Your nuts!!! 2100, PULLLEASEE,

Being that there are none left in Saskatchewan, I would expect full MSRP, plus another $500 for testing and confirmation that it can do the Job

BY the way, thats is just residue and staining from welding the muffler.

You do realize that we are almost at PAR? In Fact, we are worth about a half cent more right now

I can give you $2150 in Canadian if you like.   What time should I stop by to pick it up?  I can leave now and be there by 7AM.
