1maidenfan 201 #2 Posted May 30, 2012 Sounds like you need to adjust the high speed jet on the carb. Maybe a half turn in (clockwise) :dunno: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1maidenfan 201 #4 Posted May 30, 2012 Float level may be to high. Good point. farmallm1 you need to check the float level, according to my manual it needs to be 1/8" gap from bottom of float to top of housing. Need pic let me know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RussC 1 #7 Posted June 5, 2012 Since you didn't state whether it is oil or gas spitting out the carb, I'll assume that it's gas. Did you check/adjust the valve lash? Apparently the Kohler Magnums are sensitive in this area, mine was also doing this and a valve adjustment stopped the gas spitting. Now if it's oil on the other hand....I've read that it could be a leaky fuel pump causing the crankcase level to go high and spit back up through the intake.
