[QUOTE="cavedweller29, post: 35017, member: 3924"] Hi all, I just bought this machine and I am wondering if I bought some problems too. I have had it for 3 days and I have used it around the house for several hours with no problems. Today...I found that I couldn't leave well enough alone and I decided to clean out the engine compartment. It had accumulated several years of dust/oil mist/mud so I used brake cleaner to wipe off the gunk, I pulled the engine shroud off and cleaned the cooling fins and I greased all of the pivot points. Now, it runs fine but the transmission warning light does not go out after the engine is running. The only questionable thing I did was to rotate the engine (by hand) both clockwise and counter clockwise several times while trying to better access the gunk behind the flywheel. Could this have messed up the pump? If so, where should I start in repairing it and if not, does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance, Glenn [/QUOTE]
