motor12 367 #1 Posted November 15, 2014 What are the factory initial settings on a Carter model N carb on a Kohler K181. I need to start from scratch to get carb adjusted correctly. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH nut 553 #2 Posted November 15, 2014 There is no factory setting, the carb is tuned to the motor. To get it running seat both screws and back the high speed out a couple turns and low speed about 1 turn and a half. Get running and tune from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
motor12 367 #3 Posted November 15, 2014 Thanks, I needed a good starting point. She starts ok but has a little trouble (coughs) when throttle is applied, looks like it may have been a bit lean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,783 #4 Posted November 15, 2014 Download the Kohler service manual. Everything is explained in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
