kudzu3 323 #1 Posted October 30, 2015 Got my rebuilt kohler 301 back on the tractor, cranked right up and runs smooth and quiet, however, I have a problem that I can't seem to solve. It runs great at idle but when I move the throttle a very slight bit, it wants to run wide open. I have adjusted linkage but it seems to be an internal (carb) problem. Moving the throttle at the carb has the same affect as pulling the throttle knob, the slightest movement sends it to full speed. Anybody ever experienced this? Any advice?

kudzu3 323 #4 Posted October 30, 2015 That was my thought also, but don't know how to set it. Is there a manual or something that explains "how to"? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 16,344 #5 Posted October 30, 2015 The Kohler Service Manual (available for free download here) has the explanation of how to properly adjust the governor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
