I'm sure the carburetor is the Kohler type as described on page 11 of the Kohler Engine Owner's Manual Models K241 thru K341. It's a china knock off with the plastic float. I've had it apart to clean it up with carburetor cleaner and at that time I did adjust the tabs on the float hinge to make the float sit level horizontally (as it appeared to me). I think I am going to take the carburetor back off and take a second look at everything (especially how the float is sitting) . I'm also going to put the new points I have into the engine and get the right fuel (regular mixed with fuel stabilizer) And, a new ignition wire. Hopefully that will be what the doctor ordered.
