CARBU.RETOR TRdUBLESHOOTlNG AND ADJUSTMENTS
Carburetor adjustments should be made on/y after engine has warmed up.
Kohler K91, K161 and
K181
engines are equipped
with one of two basic types
of
carburetors
-
Kohler or
Walbro - fixed main jet or adjustable main jet.
The carburetor is designed to deliver the correct fuel-
to-air mixture to the engine under all operating
conditions.
The main fuel and idle fuel needles on
adjustable jet carburetors are set at the factory and
normally do not require further adjustment. On fixed
jet carburetors, the low idle fuel needle is also set at
the factory and normally does not need further
adjustment.
The main fuel jet is calibrated and
installed at the factory and is not adjustable*.
*NOTE: Engines operating at attitudes above
approximately 1830 m (6000 ft) may require
a special "high altitude" main jet.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If engine troubles are experienced that appear to be
caused by the carburetor, check the following areas
before adjusting the carburetor.
Make sure the fuel tank is filled with clean, fresh
gasoline.
Make sure the fuel tank cap vent is not blocked
and that it is operating properly.
Make sure fuel is reaching the carburetor. This
includes checking the fuel shut-off valve, fuel tank
filter

pump for restrictions or faulty components as
necessary.
Make sure the air cleaner base and carburetor is
securely fastened to the engine using gaskets in
good condition.
Make sure the air cleaner element is clean and all
air cleaner components are fastened securely.
after checking the items listed above, starting or
engine operation problems exist, it may be
necessary to adjust or service the carburetor.
NOTE: Carburetor adjustments should be made
only after the engine has warmed up.
