Kohler float setting???

Recommended Posts

Steve in Mo

Been a while since I have been here but once again I need some help. I am rebuilding the carb on my 10 HP Kohler. Engine is a K241AS ser# 46766d. Is there a float setting and most important how do I accomplish it. The new float is plastic not brass like the old one hope it works OK.

    As always thanks for the help!!!

Ok Steve, I'll go first.

If your new Float is identical in size to the Brass original, then you invert the Carb so the Float is on top. Measure the gap between the Carb Body and the horizonal Float.

Should be 11/64" give or take. If not, adjust the Valve Tab accordingly.

 

With the Carb rotated to normal orientation, measure the distance between the bottom edge of the Float and the Carb Body Bowl Rim.

It should be 1. 1/32". If not adjust the Rear Tab on the Float....and your done.

Just to add to Richards information, there is a small brass tab you bend to make adjustments.

Pg 6-9 from the manual
