giantsean 59 #26 Posted July 23, 2019 Yeah while I was in it earlier this afternoon I adjusted the tang quite a bit to ensure pressure is exerted, and it was pretty darned toit. Could just be a wonky float needle that will never ever be happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giantsean 59 #27 Posted July 24, 2019 Hey do you guys happen to know whether the chicom carb main jet and the Kohler OEM main jet (the actual jet not the needle) are identical? The hi-speed needle is different which is why I'm asking. I'm debating whether to rebuild my OEM carb w/ the chicom parts and an OEM rebuild kit to see if I get a better seal. The only main jet I have on hand is Chinese. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giantsean 59 #28 Posted July 26, 2019 So one big happy update. I had bought another cheap chicom carb to see if maybe the one I had was just crap. Turns out it was. While it's not perfect, it runs at what I could deem acceptable. So looks like for now at least my problem is solved! I bought a couple of OEM kohlers on the bay for parts and still plan to rebuild my original one (or one of those perhaps) from the parts I have left over. Always better to have more parts than not enough I'll search separately but does anyone have a line on a rear tranny axle seal for a C101? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you calling me an inexperienced, mechanically untrained and unskilled operator? Because that's a little mean... and true Thanks! I guess that 8 speed was really old reliable!
