I'll have to do some research to answer that one . . . but the engine model number is SV720S build date is 7/17/2006.
It will be right on top. This is an LTX 1040 that has a bad motor

Yep. Among other things about it that are crappy. Mine has another common problem that amounts to backfiring after being shutoff immediately after being used heavily. If I let it cool down (idle) for a couple min it is good to go. Factory remedy is to kill the engine at full throttle but that is a joke. On the other hand it has 10 years on it and still runs
My brand new 15 hour Husqvarna does that. I have to let it idle at low RPM for about 30 seconds then shut it down. Kinda loud in the shed, BOOOM!
