skimerhorn 3 #1 Posted April 5, 2014 The carb on my 1277 needs to be rebuilt, is there a manual for that? I can't find the model number off the motor, it been worn off. Anybody know anything about it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hm12460 53 #3 Posted April 5, 2014 Sounds like a K301. What pacer said or do a google on it. There is all kinds of stuff on the net covering your Kohler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skimerhorn 3 #5 Posted April 11, 2014 I have a question, it runs good but the muffler and small piece of pipe turns cherry red after its been run for a while. Is this normal? Wasn't sure if that meant it was running rich or the timing or points were off? Anybody have any experience with this? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posifour11 723 #6 Posted April 11, 2014 From my understanding, it could be running lean or could be timing. I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desko 552 #7 Posted April 11, 2014 It could be what posifour11 sail but its sounds to me like your exhaust valve it holding open some causing the hot un exerted combustion to come out to soon I've seen this happen several times to Briggs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
