This carburetor has an American Flag.  Made in USA.  Would this be easier than rebuilding the carburetor?  https://www.ebay.com/itm/Carburetor-Carb-Fits-Kohler-CH11-CH13-CH14-CH15-11HP-13HP-14HP-15HP-With-Gasket/283438317507?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D225074%26meid%3Da2eff9bb502b422da60cf73cd1398c8a%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dpf%26sd%3D112413203492%26itm%3D283438317507%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWebWithBBEV2bDemotion%26brand%3DKohler&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

No where in that Ad does it say made in the USA, just some Chinese junk that ships from within the US

Well.  I took the carburetor apart.  All parts were just fine but I did clean some dirt out of the bowl.  Now it runs fine.

You won't believe this but I figured out that 2 of the engine mounting bolts had broken and the other 2 were way loosened to the point where the engine moved on the frame.  I got that fixed with new bolts and now it has run perfect.  I ran it for 2..5 hrs yesterday.  First real test.

      Loss of power
      By andrewLL
      Hi, hoping someone can help.  I'm over in France trying to tidy up my place before the winter so do not have all the tools I have back at home.  I have a separate problem with the gear box but have posted separately.
       
      Back in July when l last used the tractor it was loosing power when it got hot, and looking on the internet it appeared that the coil may be the problem.
       
      i have just returned to France and brought a new coil with me and replaced the old one.  This coil has a separate ballast resistor attached.  The tractor started first go and I started to cut the grass but with gearbox problems.  The grass was long and thick in places and the tractor coped well, just heading the governor apply a bit more power in places.  Them after about half an hour the engine lost power and there were some visible flames commons ftom the exhaust.
       
      can any one tell me what is happening here.  I assume that it is heat related because the engine started first go and then ran well.  But it must have been fully up to temperature long before this loss of power.  Seeing flames from the exhaust indicates that the fuel is not being burnt in the cylinder, is this an ignition problem? Or are the valve not shutting properly an the fuel is just being pushed straight out of the engine?
       
      I'm sure it would look quite cool  after dark, but with no power the grass will keep growing.  Hop some one can help.
       
      Thanks, Andrew
