Oil Color
Everytime I change the oil and filter in my Carryall II the oil has a milky color to it. Is that a sign of a valve holding up? It's a FE 290 and runs great and makes no noises.

Re: Oil Color
Milky usually means water mixing with the oil.
Or sometimes with bubbles it can look milky. Got a pic |

Re: Oil Color
Is it milky and over-full? Is it thin? The fuel pump can get a tear in the diaphragm and leak fuel back into the crankcase sometimes. Otherwise, it is probably water - condensation can build in the crankcase especially if you take lots of short runs in the cart and never really get the motor up to temp. Doesn't take long to cloud up the oil that way - my Grandpa's DS suffers from that due to his driving habits, so I just change the oil more often for him.

Re: Oil Color
Next time I change the oil I will check for oil level. I must say thou that I too use it for short periods of time cause I use it for yardwork and not full time work. Thx for the info
