In Reply to: LX178 stuck valve posted by John on Friday, October 10, 2003:
We are a John Deere and Kawasaki dealer, the only reason your valve sticks is because the head overheated.
The reason it overheated is due mostly to a pulgged cooling system. If the engine cannot get rid of the heat this is what happens. Most motors used in a comercial application blow up. Valve sticks and blows a whole in the piston and takes the crank and con rod with it.
Hope that helps
