mr.pipes 4 #2 Posted October 12, 2011 You should probably get a rebuild kit for the carb. The needle seat could be worn so adjusting the tabs might not solve the problem. There could also be a piece of dirt/rubber/debris in the carb creating a problem. There is tons of info online about Kohler carbs. Watch a video on YouTube so you know whats involved before you try it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've muddled through a couple and the motors still run - even better! Well worth giving it a try, as Pipes suggests..... Duff :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
