gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,500 #5 Posted December 9, 2016 Your tractor model number is 31-16OE01 and the serial number is 10134. There is a link to the Onan service manual here you can download. Scroll down the page. Here is a service bulletin on governor hunting in case that is your problem Garry 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scotty 252 #6 Posted December 9, 2016 I have a 416h i could not get to stop surging. I cleaned the carb 5 times very thoroughly and it ended up being the float was bad and the carb was not quite adjusted right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
varosd 1,185 #7 Posted December 10, 2016 like all posters have stated. clean carb remove air cleaner remove top of carb. avoid dropping bolts into carb throat..tends to add to the problem remove float, needle jets. again do not drop parts into throat of carb. compressed air can and carb cleaner are your friends. just don't get carb cleaner on paint if after cleaning carb, like 3 times, move onto governor adjustment threads welcome to Onan world 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
