Can't get motor to run right.
:angry: Well I got my K241 (10HP) kohler in my 71 with everything hooked up and got it started, but I am unable to get the carburator adjusted right. I took it all apart soaked it in carb cleaner, blew everything out with air put it back on and still no luck. The motor runs but it backfires a lot and "skips" but still runs fine.:bash: The muffler that I got with it is all rotted out so it is bacically straight through. Is is possible that the empy muffler is the reason for my troubles, and if so I really don't want to spen the money on a new one, so would a small stack backfire also or could I just readjust the carb to the stack and it run smooth?

cub 71 you might want to check the timing too.
|
I checked my timing because I had to get it timed before it would even start thats why I'm stumped on whats wrong
|
The muffler shouldn't cause that kind of issue. Have you replaced the points and condenser?
|
the points, coil, and condenser are off of my 7HP kohler and that one ran fine.:bigthink:
|
I got a K321 running and it ran like you described.
The condenser wire was disconnected. It had a pretty blue spark without the condenser. |
1) Carb-- Did you feel for air coming out all the passages? I use a carb cleaner to spray and look for liquid coming out each passage.
http://onlycubcadets.net/forum/showt...=carb+settings post 2 has the correct carb settings for the needles 2) points-- verify .020 gap or better yet, use a timing light to set them. Also make sure they are CLEAN Double check wiring and connections. |
Guesse what!? the condensor had a bad ground. cleaned the metal bar and it cleared right out. However I do want to get a tune up kit for my motor to really make her purrr like a kitten.:biggrin2:

Just a thought. Make sure the condenser is on the negitve post. It will run on the positive but with symptoms as you discribed.
