cafoose 3,135 #1 Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) I finally got my $50 Gardenway tiller running today New Chinese carburetor from amazon $21.95 and two days later it arrived! https://www.amazon.com/Affordable-Parts-Carburetor-Assembly-Gaskets/dp/B0733CF5N3/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1YU8S0VD007QJ&dchild=1&keywords=kohler+k181+carburetor&qid=1590365153&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&sprefix=kohler+k181+%2Caps%2C171&sr=8-3 I checked reviews and it rated highAll I had to do was drill out the throttle linkage hole to about 7/64 I also had to change the points because there was no continuity when they were closed. It seems to run too fast at full throttle so I believe I need to set the governor. Edited May 25, 2020 by cafoose 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cafoose 3,135 #2 Posted May 25, 2020 Just remembered it had zero compression so I changed the head gasket and the compression instantly went up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tunahead72 2,333 #3 Posted May 25, 2020 Nice! I've been playing with mine lately too, that first startup after it's been sitting for a while is such a thrill! Do you have any idea when yours was made? And have you tried using it yet? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
