I have a huge problem with (condensation/white sludge on dipstick) in a 2019 gator with air cooled kalwa motor. Is there an oil or other product that will help with this problem? I have tried making sure the motor warms up etc. to no avail. There used to be a person on this forum called gator raider is he still around?

I just finished reading a post by gatoraider from nov of 2010. in that tread which is similar to mine the problem was condensation.He also mentioned that different oil types could create more or less condensation. I just recently changed the oil using a 15-40 delo 400el. As gatoraiders responses have helped my past problems with this gator, i again yield to his wisdom. lol

I'm sure somewhere on this site my question has been asked and answered but i can't locate it so i will ask again. I put the gator in gear and push on the accelerator the rpms increase and the gator jumps forward and then goes. I was looking for a smoother start Seems like the clutch is sticking and then releases all at once instead of a smooth transition. Is there a easy fix or a cleaning fix or... thanks for any help

when starting I have to use the choke and even then its a chore to get it going but once it goes the choke is not necessary. Its like the carb is not getting gas. stepping on the throttle while choking helps but u have to pump it lightly. have to use choke to start even when warmed up. Bad fuel pump? carb adjustment? motor doesn't seem to have much compression but runs great once started. need some clues before i get in over my head

gatoraider thanks for your advise. In reading the forum I was hoping it would be you who answered my question. It makes perfect since and knowing that might be the problem, I will take your advise and just live with it. Motor runs smooth, no oil smoke, always starts up. Doesn't seem to have much compression but still runs strong and will pull a truck. Thanks
