This was a no setup, unload and hook up the plow hot lap. I kept my weight on the plow during the first cut and let her be. I felt a couple rocks here and there. As for time to complete? I told her just before dark that she has 99-1/2 acres left to go! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just let me know when. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,906 #10 Posted October 13, 2021 So, Jil came up with a name. I guess it’s a she! Chloe. She has eyeliner on the fenders I guess. I’ve been making various putts here and there with my delapitated trailer. My guess is that it would ride a bit closer to level if I fix that tire, but it’s not even flat on the bottom! The other night Input a bit more tension on the throttle adjustment because it was gradually slowing back to idle. It seems to be holding high rpm much better. Next will be to get some lights and the grille back on her! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,906 #13 Posted October 26, 2023 It’s been a while since I updated this thread. Chloe is an excellent worker! She has run a bit rich for a very long time, so I popped a new plug in and turned the high idle circuit screw in a little over a turn to get it cleaned up. No more black puff when I run the throttle up! The fuel line has weeped since I got it, and recently got worse. I found this yellow THING in there today. @953 nut has sent me some proper Kohler o-ring seals before, and they worked great but I’m out, they are about $10 online from what I found, and I came across an idea. Maybe I can cut a 1/4” vacuum line as parallel as possible and use that! Well, no leaks any more! My only question is how long will it last? 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not too sure a vacuum hose will last too long, let us know how it works for you I would suggest contacting Lowell, he has them for $ 8.00 a pair or $ 15.00 for four. https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product/kohler-fuel-line-rubber-grommets-qty-2/ Price from Zoro has gone up substantially over the past five years. They were $ 7.36 for a ten pack plus $ 2.00 shipping; now $ 19.65 plus $ 5.00 shipping from the same supplier. https://www.ebay.com/itm/334748076129?hash=item4df08a4861:g:cBUAAOSwI~xj69ZU:sc:ShippingMethodStandard!28734!US!-1&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAABAM%2BcrEUBSSXY6kcj4XdoCXu5XklJDm%2F6qRH1a9J54m0%2BG6fZOr7dNoa9vCJHqz4yWDKBvwc8IWeRJ2XowIsWbItWRme5LjGeQFzbsO0fER4iKRbJnXPo12kQOieB7Q0VEJ7pFnWPNkNA7ATrsUEe%2FYSy3Dpp8j3p9B8l18wYO97hrZVFDLlRGGiB8hWDhF70YXRfLHDRDaPeJHM3mW2bKuuHWzRcVMwPFjQ1hpLLCfDMz4ALVpDlT9hwy0k8uUZQLLsSBvWQFCw2WljBKLeJwCaK%2FhVcMWJUQsBwa%2FlEmhMuAaUjKjpwU%2F07RFneGJ6bB%2Bvw9X7%2FVEqqsyDE4ohFqXA%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9CwkeTtYg 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
