Actually a K331 is a 12.5 HP HD pressure lube engine. Optional engine on early 60's Economys. Didn't know what was lurking under the hood! http://gardentractortalk.com/forums/topic/31072-economy-k331-engine/ WE NEED A VIDEO OF IT RUNNING!!!!

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,330 #11 Posted May 19, 2018 I just changed the throttle cable and need to tinker a little more to get the rpm I need. The engine does not seem to rev like it should on the top end. Seems to labor a bit. Any suggestions? I need to check the governor and get the throttle adjusted to wot and then go from there. I mowed at about 2500 rpm 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
