My pastor called last week saying that his John Deere would not start so went over to his place and was told that his 15 year old daughter was mowing and had ran out of gas.He had put gas in and tried to start it ,no luck so tried starter fluid ,no luck.I checked the carb,had gas there checked for spark that was ok so I loaded it up and brought it home.I think I have found the problem.


What do you think?

That's kind of a tell tale sign of a 15 year olds lust for a high revving engine. usually not by a girl though. Has the guy got any boys?

Kohler Answer 1: It is a speed dampener to keep the speed and H.P. under control.

Kohler Answer 2: Cuts through the air to reduce drag on the rod to allow higher speeds?

Briggs answer: So you have a handle to pick up the small pieces.

S.W.A.G - Oil slinger to lube the engine?

Nate, are you talking about the oil specified by Kohler or the oil people chose to use. I seem to remember they recommended straight weight detergent oils only.
