953 nut 51,680 #2 Posted June 4, 2018 A few basic tune up steps should get you fixed up. I would begin with a refreshing of the fuel system, gas line, fuel filter and carburetor cleaning. Be sure to use ethanol free gas. Also a new Champion H-10 spark plug and points and condenser would be a good idea.

Wheelhorseking 0 #5 Posted June 4, 2018 Would starting fluid help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,680 #6 Posted June 4, 2018 Do not use starting fluid. The ether is so volatile that it could harm the engine. If you want to add anything to the gas I would suggest SeaFoam. Chances are it may help but nothing will replace doing the job right the first time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,897 #7 Posted June 5, 2018 And when you do get it running right, Kohler recommends a slow idle speed of 1100-1200 rpm. Anything slower and you will not be getting proper lubrication. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do I fix that If it has not been kinked you may be able to put some PB Blaster or the penetrating oil of your choice in both ends and free it up. Otherwise you can find new replacement cables on ebay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 15,919 #12 Posted June 5, 2018 If it will idle but not throttle up at all, a possible cause is the condenser. It should be connected to the - side of the coil. If it is on the - side a replacement isn't very expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
