chevyaddict83 39 #1 Posted July 2, 2012 Good evening- Been lurking the forums for awhile, time to finally pipe up. Just got my hands on my first wheelhorse, the 208-3. Has a rough idle, and I could use some advice. Also, the mowing deck is small. Any way of fitting a larger one on the machine? Thanks for your time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zieg72 209 #3 Posted July 5, 2012 Welcome from NW Indiana. Rough idle is usually a dirty carburetor, Sometimes it is just a dirty air filter and or pre-filter or slightly out of adjustment. I am sure others will chime in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chevyaddict83 39 #4 Posted July 5, 2012 Thanks zieg. I appreciate the welcome, and the wealth of knowledge everyone brings to the table. I should have been a little more specific. I need help with the actual teardown of the Carb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foozerush 40 #5 Posted July 5, 2012 Welcome to RS!! Personally I don't know if a larger deck would fit. I'm sure an expert will chime in on that. If there is no option of a larger deck, maybe upgrade to 300-400 series with more deck options. Anyways clean that carb real good, fresh plug is always good, check fuel lines and tank, and fuel filter. Hope this helps!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
