Nice work getting it running! Those single cylinder over head valve intek engines have a known problem where the head gasket blows between the cylinder and the area where the push rods are. There isn’t much gasket surface area in that spot and it will pressurize the crankcase forcing oil up through the rings, valve guides, or even where the head gasket is torn itself. When it’s running you can open the oil cap and if there’s excess pressure coming out more than normal and if so it’s probably the head gasket. Have a rag ready because you will have some oil spray out, and probably more so if the head gasket is blown from the excessive pressure.
We sell Idler Pulley and many different accessories that may fit your equipment. We're happy to offer you a product sample in exchange for a video review. Let me know if you are interested.
@user-nd5bx8fk6v i got a green craftsman LT1000 6speed with an 19.5 hp I/C opposed twin briggs and stratton project its not for racing or off road but i want to replace the drive pully cause i dont plan on putting a mowing deck back on it and a smaller pully in back to speed it up. Im making it useful as a utv and with a little cargo space idk if i plan on just doing videos of the project on my current channel or start a new channel for my bicycle and small engine repair service business for parts reviews and project and repair tutorial videos
