Steve, what size tires and wheels are on the Power King? Too bad you don't see those in my neck of the woods, I would love to have one!

That looks like a model 1614. 16" rear wheels, 14 HP engine with 12" fronts. Jim Dandy models have 8" fronts.

Squonk is dead on. This one has a rare k331 Kohler. Only made for 2 years (Kohler K331).

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! :)

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
