We took off this morning, it was 3 deg. F. The RMK died a mile from the truck. It started back up and we took off again. It died two more times and on the last time it was locked up.
Tore it down and found the PTO cylinder and piston are scored. The crank and rod bearing look good.
The tops of both pistons looked the same, the mag piston had some wash on it, but the PTO piston had no signs of any wash. The inside of the ex. manifold had a light chocolate color.
I am wondering if a PTO seal could be bad or if the carb may have iced up and plug a jet up. My son said it was kind of boggy before it died each time. The machine has 2200 miles. Been a good running sled until today.
Thanks
