Flooded maybe?

Recommended Posts

Tribefan1979

I was out mowing a small patch of grass today just to get the 854 out of the barn, and I ran her out of gas. Put a little gas in her, went to start her back up, and she just sits there and turns over. Is it possible that its flooded? Its got a 8HP Kohler, which I assume doesn't have a fuel pump. Any help at all? Thanks.

My 8HP has a fuel pump, I'm guessing vapor lock. See if you shoot WD40 or carb cleaner in carb to get it started, or wait about and hour and it will probably fire right up.

The fuel pump on a pre 1967 :wh:  should have a primer lever on the bottom, just pump it a few times and you will prime the carb.
