Just taking a stab as I know Paul is an experienced engine guy. Main jet needle holes and clean them with a piece of copper wire. ( I use copper wire in all the holes and passages because it's a soft mater that won't scratch or gouge anything) Spray into the holes as that needle is actually a tube so spray should come out the top holes too. The pointed tip should be smooth. You could try just changing the jet needle from carb to carb and that may tell you if there's a difference or if there's an issue there.

Only other thing I can think of that has not been mentioned is maybe a bent main or idle mixture screw the needle end???? I bent one once and it never would adjust right but robbed one off another and it worked IDK if I just got lucky or they all will swap around....

2026 Big Show Buy/Sell/Trade Thread

It will if you add an old style mid Tach A Matic that has the pre-mule drive belt set up to the 953 as I did on "Hot Wheels" that @Pullstart already owns, just need to mount the plates on the inside to make up for the frame width or he could mount a new type mule drive to the front of the 953. I suspect @Ed Kennell has the parts and pieces needed either way. -

Fuel Pump replacement oem or aftermarket?
ri702bill replied to camprc0001@gmail.com's topic in Engines
And, in doing so, you no longer have to be concerned with raw gas diluting the engine oil due to a ruptured pump diaphragm.... and if installed correctly, the electric pump is self priming.- 3 replies

Fuel Pump replacement oem or aftermarket?
953 nut replied to camprc0001@gmail.com's topic in Engines
For the past thirty years or so the Kohler fuel pumps have all been made of plastic. I agree with @ebinmaine that a low pre3ssure electric pump would be a superior choice. You can power it from the supply that feeds your hour meter that way it is fuse protected and turns off with the ignition. You can find them on eBay for about the same price as the mechanical ones. I use these on all of my Wheel Horses.- 3 replies

Fuel Pump replacement oem or aftermarket?
ebinmaine replied to camprc0001@gmail.com's topic in Engines
Why would a metal pump be more difficult to install? I haven't looked in years but I don't know if we can still get metal pumps OE. It may be worth seriously considering installing an electric pump.- 3 replies

Just for kicks take a can of brake clean and spray back & forth through those galleys. See where they go and clarify cleanliness.

Got the plug out no dirt in there.... I guess the worn lower shaft pocket is a culprit. In addition to the butterfly wiggling around air can be sucked around the shaft sitting in the enlarged pocket.

I've had problems with aftermarket fuel pump for a wheel horse 312-8, 1988. Is it better to spend the money for an oem metal version that is supposed to be a lot more reliable but may be harder to install? I would appreciate any advice on this. Thanks, Richard

That particular rig works out well as a heavy stuff tugger because of the huge front ballast. -

Bar Nuthin replied to Bar Nuthin's topic in Implements and Attachments
Having wheels, and rigging it to use a hitch attachment, is a big plus if you need to take it on and off. Unless you're like @ebinmaine and have a fleet of tractors where you have it on a dedicated machine. -

So, where's your shifter boot Johnny?? Now is a good time to address that... I added the primer bulb gizmo on my C81 - is was difficult to start if it sat unused for a few weeks. I used the open space to the left of the Unidrive dipstick, added a cradle & spring loaded pusher. Works sweet... it is not activated by sitting on the seat.

Fixed that for you -
By strict definition that's correct but the reality is that the lower shaft being loose allows the upper shaft to flex even more and the butterfly can wander around in the main bore. You're not getting an air leak from the bottom in that case but you're getting erratic operation because the butterfly is just Clowning Around half the time.
