Machine Shop Needed

RuffedUpXJ · 07-27-2010, 04:28 PM

I do maintence on my cousins' lawn mowers for their business and they recently let a walk-behind run low on oil. Its a Toro I believe and with a Kawaski engine. I was wondering if anyone knew of a machine around to rebore so I can put a larger piston it and hopefully get them going versus paying $1600 for a new crate engine from their dealer.

I would assume this is reasonable since its a 17 hp motor and I can imagine that they have a series of motors that use the same block/piston setup and I would believe they have over sized pistons for this matter.

Anyone know a machine shop in the hamilton/Fairfield/Mason aera that would bore it out for me?
