Mike'sHorseBarn 3,475 #26 Posted April 8 Went to work on it tonight. Was told it ran last year, the carburetor would argue otherwise. It was so gunked up it was hard to get apart. Dang near ruined the head of the high speed needle and I don't have walbro stuff laying around 😕 Anywhere, got that off and cleaned up, gotta order a kit, choke cable is broke, gotta get one of those too and an air filter. I put a battery in it and it did turn over after I put a new battery in it. More to come... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can see the foot control being handy pushing with dozer blade or using front end loader though. BTW great score on the 314-H. I improved on the console hand control om my 520-H. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
