PS. If you have not started at all since rebuild, there may be a few final minor adjustments to be made still... High idle, governor, etc |
Coop...speaking of carb settings...I find it interesting that there is a discrepancy between the initial low idle setting in the owner's manual (1 turn) compared to the Kohler manual (2.5 turns). Both manuals are the same for high idle (2 turns). Right now I have the low idle screw set at 1 turn. Will be checking the high rpm with a tachometer since the guy who put the engine together for me strongly suggested doing that.
