I still chuckle when I think about that carb gasket on the C-81 you bought off me. Bizarre that it even fired and ran!

I'm stuck right at the northern tip between the 2 largest Finger Lakes. I take my dog for walks at the only State Park I don't have to pay on weekends. Dean's Cove. They have this large parking lot for the trucks and boat trailers. Plus a large grassy area. Last Sunday the trailers were parked along the highway there were so many boaters there. I'm not even going to try to go there tomorrow!

@Sparky what did your wife have done on the knee? pete

Mike - I agree it can be resealed - either with Permatex #2 - the non hardening stuff, or a smear of heavy grease. FYI when I get a new to me WH and the carb is removed, I use the Permatex #2 to "glue" the new gasket to the engine and apply the light coat of grease to the carb mating flange. Makes carb removal easy down the road...

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

Yesterday I took the gt-14 intake elbow off my 1257, then sprayed the air cleaner white, then realized how bad it looked so I stripped all the paint back off and repainted the air cleaner lid red again. Today while I was at it I painted my ignition coil and bracket since it’s now visible. I got asked about hubcaps on my wide wheels. Since I took them off to try and polish them, I took a picture of the inner wheel weights that the hubcaps hide. If it weren’t for them I’d probably leave them off for that deep dish look. -
Congrats to him. As simple as Siri seems (and I use it heavily--especially when driving) it is childlike in that it demands that you articulate, in simple and direct words, what you want done. Excessive elaboration causes useless (and sometimes frustratingly confusing) results. This means the human must “think like” the system--and that is the crux of the problem for many!

I like the baling wire replacement for the motion control roll pin! Can’t even tell from the crud if the the steering gears are worn. -
Excessive AC Voltage at regulator/rectifier?
ri702bill replied to cjb398's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
You may have a bad - corroded - ground where the rectifier housing meets the sheet metal. Remove the rectifier, clean the housing and the bolts. Reassemble & check. It is a common issue that shows up over a long time of use. Many of us add a ground cable from the rectifier bolt to a nearby point on the engine or chassis. -

I do have this industrial/oscillating fan cranking away…helps some. And before all the comments about “go boating” …the local lake is a zoo being a holiday weekend and they shut down the boat launch. Plus my wife had knee surgery and she wouldn’t be able to climb in and outa the boat.

In case you were wondering why there’s no monument or commemoration of the Louisiana Purchase, there actually is: Jefferson Gateway Expansion Memorial Better known as the St. Louis Arch. Happy Fourth of July. Steve -
It seems that OPE Engines is no longer in business, which is a shame. As I understand it, the original owner passed away in 2022, and the new owner and manager apparently ran the business into the ground. The website doesn't load any more, and to the extent you can believe anything on the internet these days, there's lots of reports of unfulfilled orders, zero communication, that sort of thing. Mods, I'd appreciate it if one of you guys would check this out for yourselves, and then consider removing OPE Engines from our list of suppliers. They used to be my favorite source for all things Kohler, but no more.

The C160-8 got a fresh oil change, spark plug, pressure washing then a light rub down with some fluid film. It’s out basking in the sun now. -
I've got a 416-H with the Onan engine. The battery is not charging. I measure about 12.45 at the battery whether it is running or not. I get the same voltage at the regulator output with the engine at full throttle, so it is not charging the battery. I've cleaned and tested the connections and run through the diagnostics as explained in the topic below. It appears that my voltage regulator is not working. I noticed, however, that my AC voltage across the regulator terminals measures about 52 volts AC. Is this normal and will this cause the rectifier to go bad? And why would it be so high? I haven't found any mention of anything like this in the forums. Chuck

I picked up a tractor once that ran fine but had NO GASKET at the carb.

Oh…and this repair was completed in my garage at 95 degrees
