EH65 spitting fuel from breather hose into air filter.

Just like an old car or truck PCV valve.

PCV = Positive Crankcase Ventilation

Basically any gasses that blow-by the piston rings into the crank case need a place to go. So the PCV valve (one-way check valve) let the gasses out but doesn't allow any in. Usually a hose runs from PCV valve to breather and sent back into combustion chamber. 

Since the gasses are in the crankcase some oil may be pulled up as well.

Or it could be something else. Just a thought. Home this helps and good luck with the repair.

I apologize to all who I left scratching their heads about my last post !!

Turns out to be fuel diluted oil coming from the breather.  I’ll be taking the carburetor off AGAIN !!!

Jim,

Have you checked oil level in engine? Does it smell like gas? If overful it could be sucked by the breather back to carb.

I was hoping you would respond. 
It was definitely gas infused and slightly over full. Took the carb off and changed the float and needle valve.  Reworked the fuel solenoid.  I have it running pretty well now but was having the issue with the blow back.

Merry Christmas to you and yours !

WX is keeping me in the house for now.  One thing that was obvious from the start is the exhaust has to be reconfigured to fit the machine. Search around the local marketplaces. 
I found my Predator on offer up for $100 bucks brand new.

Hi Jim,

Merry Christmas to you and yours also,

I saw somewhere you can order flange with stub out for that engine. You might weld flex hose onto stub and run it wherever you have to. If i see it again i'll post it to you. Wow, where did you see that engine for $100. Might be a scam. check close.

Is there any way that you could post close up pictures of where the springs would go and the rods on this eh65 engine

I took pictures but cant find them and I can get it to run but its not right imo

      As the title suggests, today marks 120 days and 520 miles since I bought my 2020 UT400 from Tractor Supply. I like it, here;s a synopsis of my experience so far:
      Delivery on 10/29/2020 was uneventful, BUT my first ride was interrupted by the damned undocumented seat belt safety "feature", the staff at TS knew nothing about it, but somewhat accidentally I found the driver's belt was wired and "bugged"--problem #1 solved;;
      Next I had to screw around with the State of Florida to get it registered and titled--that took a month and my trailering  it 150 miles round trip to have it "inspected' and documented as a 'low speed vehicle'"; 
      Got it titled on 11/25/2020;
      At 13-15 miles or so it decided it did not like shifting into reverse--the shift cable adjustment is finicky, with examination and trial and error I developed an adjustment procedure around the neutral position;
      At 15 hours I changed the fluids as recommended;
      Next, nothing major for the next 400 miles when I changed the front and rear gearbox juice just to make me happy;
      Today I drove it to the beach (2.5 miles East, including 1.2 miles at 45+ mph (50 on the "Clock",  45 on the GPS)--the dog and I had a great time. This was the 4th or5th time I've had it "on the road" at 40+--it seems to like or at least tolerate it. Beach, dunes, deep sand no problems.
      26 mpg overall  since new--not too bad.
      It's a well engineered and built machine however Coleman and Hisun are shooting themselves in the foot with their crappy documentation--I've contacted both but they don't seem to care.
      I like it!!!
