  1. Don't know if this will help, but I have a 2019 T-boss 410, and there's no oil filter. I understand that there's a big difference between your 2022 760 and my 2019 410, but if you look under the engine from under the machine, you should see a hole that is where the drain plug is located. There's no oil filter (disappointed in that), but there's some sort of spring on the drain plug.

    I have wondered if there's some way to engineer an oil filter, like maybe remotely.

     

    I doubt I helped you, but maybe if you find the drain plug, you'll be able to get the answer to your question. Good luck! Let us know what you find out.

    I have a Zero Turn 60 in mower that has done that for years.. I have replaced starter, battery, cables, switches , every part in the starting system and it still does it!.. crazy huh?

    Dude, it's got me flustered. The only thing I haven't done is replace the battery cables. Maybe I should try some cables that are larger in diameter?

    I completely disagree.. You change oil BECAUSE it gets dirty and can no longer hold deposits in suspension.. Oil does not wear out in 3000 miles .   heres a thought from a real  expert..........." Does oil wrar out?  

    ..........oil  goes "bad" from two things:

    1. The long chains get broken down due to wear. But ask any tribologist with an ounce of morals, and they will tell you that modern engine oil is sufficient to last MANY thousands of miles, perhaps 10-20K or more . (I get that you speak hours - I'm too lazy to translate that to knots.) And that's good old dinosaur juice. Modern synthetic compounds have wonderful properties, and might last twice as long as the organic stuff. In fact, with the exception of point #2, the right synthetic might last 50,000 -60,000 miles. (x 0.868976 knots)

    2. and you say...BUT BUT BUT.... Oil gets dirty. Little particles of soot and combustion products and small insects and detris and debris and schmutz and water accumulate in your oil storage "area". A really good oil filter [e.g. Oberg] might filter down to 5 micron or less, but require frequent cleanings. Hence you only see this type of filter in racing and special applications.

      2A. So what? heres what!  Some of that dirt is abrasive. None of it is helpful. It is circulated under pressure. Now imagine that your very expensive synthetic oil is circulating little tiny abrasive bits all around those critical lubricated interface points. Doesn't matter how much the "excipient" [big word] costs, what you have now created is a very expensive  cutting fluid -. no matter how expensive. The size of the little cutter buggers is only limited by your oil filter. And your standard oil filter is a balance between longevity and particle size.

    So So So?

    Oil gets dirty. (Did I yell that yet?) YES AND OIL GETS DIRTY AT THE SAME RATE .. got it?  WHETHER IT'S USED "Wolfshead" OIL FILTERED THROUGH WONDERBREAD, OR ULTRA-SYNTHETIC  Magic elixure DERIVED FROM SIBERIAN ANT GLANDS AND COSTS $5000/ounce... It gets dirty long before it ever could wear out!  ""            

    I happen to agree with that 100%

    I agree with you, Joe. If they made a filter that could remove all the dirt and other contaminants, we would have much greater oil change frequencies.

  4. Are you talking about the idle speed adjustment or the idle air adjustment? Mine (2019 T-boss 410), has an idle setting of 1200 rpm's. If it's the idle speed adjustment, I would turn it in until it stops, then turn it out 2.5 turns and start from there. That seems to be the common starting point on automotive carbs.

  5. Wow! Only 3 years old and they don't stock parts? That sucks!

    Who is the engine manufacturer? You could check the manufacturer's website if available, or check a website called Motorcycle Doctor.

    The engine is most likely made by either Hisun or Linhai. I believe both have their own websites.
