Larry P. 45 #1 Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) I just finished rebuilding my wheelhorse C160 with a freshly rebuilt K341 motor. I'm seeing alot of conflicting discussions on engine speed. Some say 3200 RPM, some say 3400 RPM and others say 3600 RPM for high idle. For low idle, some say 800, some say 1100 and others say 1300 RPM. What is the best and most effective low speed idle and high speed idle for this motor ? I'll be using a mower deck on it as well as the single stage blower. Any help would be appreciated. thanks, Larry Edited May 29, 2020 by Larry P. added photos 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 66,755 #2 Posted May 29, 2020 3600 full throttle. Never work it less than half throttle, it relies on rpm’s to cool and lubricate 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Larry P. 45 #6 Posted May 29, 2020 I just added photos. Just need to strip and paint the rear fender and hood. I ordered a smoke stack exhaust from Jim Kemp. Can't wait to get it. I also ordered a new seat from Northern Tool. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
