NEED CARB HELP!!! on a 655 Wheel Horse

Recommended Posts

JPeoples

I have a 655 Wheel Horse with a Tecumseh engine and it had sat for a couple years before I bought it. My buddy said he could clean and rebuild the carb for me. Well when he did it he didn't adjust it right and now I cant get it adjusted right either. I will run fine if I keep spraying gas into the carb but it can't run on its own. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to adjust the carburetor or give me a good reference to figure it out.

If its acting like its not getting enough fuel like having to hold the choke on or spraying fuel in it to keep it running you need more fuel so unscrew the screw on the bottom of the bowel in small adjustments till it runs on its own and make sure the fuel is getting to the carb

It does act like its not getting enough fuel and I have done that, but once I get it to were it can run with the screw at the bottom of the bowl when I try to turn the deck on it stalls out and i think it is because I don't have the other screw adjusted right either

If you get the engine running smoothly and engaging the deck causes it to stall you might be having problems with a safety switch. Not familiar with that tractor but just a thought.

      Hi Red Square Community,
       
      I am looking into purchasing the below pictured "POND" Walk Away. The unit itself has the cast in “POND” on the chain reduction housing. The two main things I am looking to learn are what value is typical for these to sell for. This one has a Briggs & Stratton model “N” engine. It runs and drives, but the throttle linkage needs some adjusting. It comes with a cultivator and plow implement. 
       
      Secondly, I was wondering if there is any way to determine what year specifically this Pond is from. The seller believes late 1940s and not 1950s. I am new to these machines, so I am looking for some guidance. Thank you in advance!

      Finally got around to checking this 1965 wheel horse 655. Serial # 133946. I got this over a year ago in a "Bundle" trailer load of other items. The Tecky H60 had imploded, rod, camshaft, internals like "chicken bones" bearing lobe on block broken off , etc. etc. So I also got most of a K181 basket case S/G engine with parts. Decided this one was too nice to part out or scrap so I checked engine and it looked pretty good with only governor shaft flag and counterweight broken internally. Long story short it spec' ed well and I completely rebuilt. It had the two-piece ASA cam and was a bit of a challenge but all went well. Took the Tecky out and put the Kohler in, new boot and flushed trans, new gear oil and it runs and drives. Definitely needs some "LOVE" but would be a great worker. Everything but seat is there. Mounted Tecky gas tank under hood. New regulator, re-built starter/gen .Will place in classifieds and high probability will be coming to "BIG SHOW" for first time from FL. Anyway enjoy pics. Also have a lot of Tecky parts that I would donate to anyone so inclined.

      i know that there is ebb and flow with market conditions, but I have been seeing bargain 520 and c-160 prices more common. I recently saw a c-160 like model on a place other than here that was close by, but i did not get a chance to see it as I was still on a medical tether getting care. i say c-i60 like model because it was a series of numbers like 4455 or somesuch .Tractor had the k series engine clearly a sixteen HP and came with a decent looking deck and pusher blade. i called my buddy Jay and told him for the $250 ask , he better hustle after it. i really do not know if he did.
        I also have been seeing 520s and such lower than I can remember as well as the D series..My theory is that people experiencing paycheck to paycheck living are increasing in number.
      You even are seeing a lot more older trucks like square bodies and especially big blocks than you did before. we used to see this a lot in new trucks when fuel prices hit records.
      i am not claiming expert status on this, but it seems to be trending this way one county next to indiana and 90 miles North of the Ohio River.
       Tell me what you are seeing out there and what you think. 
           Edit:  Jay and I ran up to buy Bob Ellison's tractor in MI.  Bob was very nice to deal with and included his "last seat"   I got super lucky buying my first C-160 that did not start and another one shortly dropped in to keep it company. The tractor described above was listed for only two days and was gone
