EFM 350 skipping teeth
I noticed this season the feed on my efm 350 would miss two or more teeth on every one to three revolutions, any suggestions as to why this is happening?

Jim - the first thing I would do is take the oil pan off the bottom of the drive, and clean everything really well. If the oil starts to get thick it will gum things up and make it stick. There are two pawls that engage the drive gear - one to drive it, and the other to keep it from turning backwards. Make sure both of them turn freely on the pins.

No your in the right forum I think the message was intended for freetown freed who was talking about uh his teeth follow Robs suggestion . I for one have been using honda 0-20 w synthetic oil since i have some on hand but i dont think most would recommend that .
