jrandyg 44 #33 Posted February 6, 2016 Thanks for posting the pics. Looking good. Really helps the winter blues when it's too cold to work in the garage. Can you talk more about your possible plans for the aftermarket carb. I got it running and reasonably tuned before I started the refurbish. I too have a 656 with the HH-60 and have already had concerns about power just tooling around the yard. I haven't even ran the mower deck yet. Any input would be great. Randy p.s. soo soo jealous of your space and prep table!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Randy p.s. soo soo jealous of your space and prep table!! Well I am very lucky to have the shop I do , its not that big but it is heated with an oil furnace that is installed on the 2nd floor of the building , if its not 70 in the shop I cant work on anything , as far as the carb my son and I spent 12 years racing go karts and race cars so my thought is that if the motor doesn't have enough power I am going to make a intake manifold and mount a Tillison carb with a built in fuel pump , these carbs can be found used for around $100 , new they run $300 and up , there are some intakes out there but I am not sure if there is one for an hh60 motor, mine has the Kohler K91 and I know that I will have to make the intake and do away with the governor , every easy carb to work with and will make lots of power on a small motor , If I do go with that carb I will make sure I post a thread about it at that time 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
