1973Auto 84 #1 Posted 13 hours ago Hello all. I have a kohler 18hp courage that just started running like crap. Just use the tractor for mowing my tree stand paths. The 2 second video has it sputtering when driving, but when I put the break on it runs fine. I sprayed carb cleaner in it and didnt do anything. Could be a bad spark plug? Thanks! 18ck.mp4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1973Auto 84 #5 Posted 2 hours ago 2 second vid is all I could upload. I only use this tractor for mowing paths, I know its a junk engine. Its actually the second on This tractor. The original was 20hp. Just trying to get it going so I can use it to drag deer out of my woods. It was running fine now, spits, sputter, backfire, while driving, at ideal its fine.
