This garden tractor is just used for mowing, no racing. I mow two big yards every week in the summer. Would the engine run cooler with 10" electric fan mounted in the grill of the mower. The hood is stock, no extra holes for cooling and would prefer to leave that way. Has anyone ever mounted an electric fan on a Mower? I have the ten amp stator/flywheel system, so, I think that should be enough amperage to drive the fan and the mower clutch. bjr232012

What weight oil are you running, have you got all the tins on the motor, have you cleaned grass and such from under the tins etc.?

look up Rooster older post about that issue of the coil burning on the oppy.
