Re: Gas in oil Is it burning any oil?
If the float is stuck it will run like shit, has it been doing that? _________________ CSM Custom 18x42 Battleship with a 36 PD beating you to the hole My Rig (Old Motor) viewtopic.php?f=5&t=45193 (New Motor) viewtopic.php?f=5&t=54733 Stumps Fear Me |

Re: Gas in oil I'd definitely check that, is it flooding any?

Re: Gas in oil It may not have trash in it and still stick.
Sometimes all it takes is completely taking it apart and spraying carb cleaner on all the parts then re-assembling it. I've fooled with several stuck floats that had no visible trash in it, took it apart, put it back together and worked fine. Good luck. _________________ CSM Custom 18x42 Battleship with a 36 PD beating you to the hole My Rig (Old Motor) viewtopic.php?f=5&t=45193 (New Motor) viewtopic.php?f=5&t=54733 Stumps Fear Me |

Re: Gas in oil I never messed with carbs other than my 16 vanguard, that one was simple, my Kohler has wires and shit everywhere

Re: Gas in oil I found the problem, the o-ring on the lil brass tube broke and was making my float stay open, but I don't have a o-ring on hand, kinda bummed
