*****couldnt get a reply one with the original title see how this one goes ******


Can anyone here tell me how the throttle plate on the Kohlers is supposed to work in regards to the choke plate? The more you adjust the high idle screw it will cause the choke to close at higher RPMs. Is this a built in limiter? Right now im set about 4300 RPMS OOW, and around 1400-1500 idle out of water. Ive got the high idle screw set to damn near the max it can go before moving the choke plate and causing the choke to move. I see where guys have turned them up to 4400-4600 rpms and dont see how they managed to do that without the choke plate moving?

I notice the choke linkage rod has some adjustment in the screw fitting that the knob attaches to? I am damn near to the max my throttle plate can travel but pry have another 1/4" to gain which is also what the choke plate can travel.

In this pic there is a small bolt and nut hiding under that arm. Yours must be missing and allowing the top arms to swing too far and hit the choke arm. Back your screw up so your not hitting choke arm and instead add spring pressure to the governer spring

Considering there have been topics about this exact thing for this engine and how to fix it in the past, use the search and figure it out. Just because no one respondsd doesnt mean they weren't going to eventually, but search the forum for all the knowledge that has been shared in the past.
