Alan,
TM 5-2805-213-14 says if the engine misses or runs rough, lacks
power, or is excessively noisy. It could be valves sticking or burned, valve
spring broken,piston rings worn or stuck, tappet defective, piston burned or
broken, cylinder worn. In all these cases a change of jugs(cylinder,head and
piston) may be in order. Before I started anything I'd get me a copy of the
above.

Subject: [MV] Mule Oil Pump
> Just picked up my second mule ( M274A5 ) Engine turns over well but has
terrible metal on metal sound ,an ominous sound, which concerns me. I
checked the pull start gear and oiled it but that did not help. Was advised
to check the oil line that enters the governor and when the engine runs no
oil comes out. Does this mean my oil pump is fried? How hard is it to
replace the pump? What else might be wrong. Also there was poor
acceleration when it did run, before the noise started. Could that be stuck
rings? This was a boxed engine that has not been run in several years. Your
collective help would be appreciated........Alan
