Being it was first warm day out I decided to take the new to
me 560 to get a load of fire wood it started fine let it warm up
good and headed down the road about a mile down the road in
5 th gear running about 1600 rpms on fairly flat going it started
to lug down and smoke so I backed throttle down a bit and
when I pushed the clutch in it quit it acted almost like it spun a
bearing there was a little coolant coming out of the over flow
so I checked oil coolant and let it sit for a min and figured I
need to get it off the road so I hit the starter and it fired right up
so I gently pulled to the side watching oil pressure and temp
and temp was normal and oil pressure as well around 55 psi
With nothing acting funny at this point I came back home with
no trouble
I ran it around for about two more hours moving wood and
took a trip through sugar woods with no problem
Any ideas what happened to me I am drawing a blank
Thanks dan
