I started on my deck repair last week. This is the 3rd time in 28 years I have done this, only this time, I replaced several 5/4 boards. Priming done and now painting. I hate painting. It also looks like the Rustoleum Deck Paint will need at least 3 coats to cover the 'cedar' looking paint on...
From a friend that is a good ole farm mechanic in South Dakota:
Blown head gasket or cracked head. V2203s are notorious for it.
If he runs it very long like that he’ll be buying an engine.
