[QUOTE="Mike M 4, post: 797754, member: 62292"] Got a sears rider with a Kohler 15 engine. I think one of the hydraulic lifters is sticking sometimes. Anyone have words of wisdom? It happened after an oil change. I had synthetic in it, and I put regular 10-30 in it. I ran the thing for a while, no problems. I shut it down, and when I restarted it, the thing started hammering. I changed the oil, ran it for a while and the hammering stopped. Yesterday it did it again. Am changing the oil back to synthetic tonight. I have heard that sometimes the type of oil really makes a difference in these engines. Any small engine mechanics out there, I would appreciate some insight. Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
