Well, out of all the trouble I've had with the CV730 engine on my 2005 Dixie, it seems I must have run it low on oil. Rings are shot at least on 1 side. Valves and seats are also caked with burnt oil on at least 1 side which doesn't allow them to close properly. Not sure yet if there is other internal damage. Will know later.
I have felt the mower is underpowered for my needs even before this issue. So, depending on the repair cost, it may be time to get a new larger engine. Pricing is...
Carb or EFI on new engine
