carburator problem, i think.

Recommended Posts

my wheel horse is a 1980 model c-145 with a 14 hp kohler engine. it is an automatic. it runs fine on the flat areas.  when I go up a fairly steep hill the engine spits and sputters and blows black smoke out the exaust and it will shut down.  it will restart immediately. replaced fuel pump, gas lines, shut off valve, fuel filter, and spark plug.  I cannot figure this one out.  any help would be greatly helpful. thanks and  Semper-Fi.

As long as you have a good steady flow of fuel from the pump, I would remove the carburetor and completely clean it. Replace the float valve.

Black smoke is gas (I think) so my guess is it's flooding. Might be something up with the float and/or the valve?

      Hello all. I am looking for suggestions on adapting the pto from my C series tractor to a harbor freight predator 420 13hp engine. I know the predator motors are a controversial topic however it is the route I have chosen for this particular machine. The intent was to mostly use it for plowing so no PTO required but it would be handy to have. Looking to hear from someone that has successfully done the swap that may offer any advice before I attempt to transfer it over. Just looking for any general pointers that will help me along the way to make it go as smoothly as possible.

      Will the plow I am using on my C121 and C160 work on a 876?  
      or is the plow frame different?
      Thanks

      I just bought a used C-165 01-16KE01-17658. Its is odd because the rear says Toro but I don't think they bought them until '86, and the hood decals say C-145 but the serial points to a C-165, no identification on the engine at all. I'd like to find a service manual for the tractor itself and maybe a parts manual, I have a Kohler manual.  It has quite a few issues but going to start working on it in my spare time. It runs very well and idles smooth. Hydro pulls good  and deck lift works. I have no idea where the choke cable is supposed to mount on it. Hydro fluid is milky so i have a few filters ordered to change it a few times I just am not sure what to put in it. It also isn't charging the battery but going to Ohm out the stator per the manual, but does anyone know how to test the regulator? Also, I need to deal with the rust in the battery box area.
