    Kohler 26hp twin surging at high throttle, okay at medium to 70% throttle

    You might find too that a Kawasaki carb looks closer to what you have. In any event, that site has put some real effort into how carburetors function. Admittedly I am not fan of jungle carbs. But, no one is a fan of much of the Kohler carb pricing. I mean some of these things are 450$

    Kohler 26hp twin surging at high throttle, okay at medium to 70% throttle

    This may be helpful for you. I see they have the Command carb at the bottom which shows a model w/ an accelerator pump but hopefully similar enough to get the idea how it works. Typically a surge that goes away under load is considered a low speed circuit issue as Randy has pointed out. Consider...

    Test drove used John Deere Gator 6x4, have questions

    Deal seems good enough. Tires for some are on Amazon complete w/ rim. I know this as I had a customer who compared that to having a local tire vendor replace what she had , which was closer to 200$ a tire installed. They aren't speedsters, though zippy enough to cart things around the place. I...

    Location of greenhouse in backyard

    Outside for the shade cloth. I used a canopy roller type set up from a 5th wheel camper. Replaced the vinyl w/ shade cloth. That greenhouse was ~16' high though. You can create places to easily tie it off to give you a couple of options that match the day. Auto vent controllers are available as...

    Location of greenhouse in backyard

    Having had a solar greenhouse, I can appreciate your dilemma. I can't really help you on how to dial in the right amount of light for where you are at. Shade cloth is a real helper to moderate the temps as well keeping circulation available. So location to where power is available is always...

    Tequila...Any Favorites to Recommend?

    Not an expert. Ocho Blanco was real nice. I'm unsure what clean really means here in your description. Made many a drink with Hornitos back in the day. Always needed my tequila to be at least 100% Agave . I don't really know how high that sets the bar though. Either a good tequila or whiskey is...

    Kohler 26hp twin surging at high throttle, okay at medium to 70% throttle

    I dunno what is going on w/ Kohler since somebody scrambled the letters on their stationary. (Rehlko) It seems like they've changed vendors on somethings. Or made one part number to fit multiples. Good idea I guess. Example: Certain carbs now come with a set of pins that I think are throttle arm...

    Kohler 26hp twin surging at high throttle, okay at medium to 70% throttle

    Are sure that it isn't jealous of the Deere you've got it sitting next to? ;) Did your new carb come with a pin(s) in a bag w/ instructions perchance?

    Cub Cadet lt1024 model 13AX11CG709

    They list a twin cylinder muffler in the IPL, but then for a 46" or 50" model. It's one of this days where they go, hey why not throw a bunch of different stuff in the IPL for your model number...

    How to Remove Rusted Wheel - Troy Bilt Tiller

    In addition, verify that saving the wheel is worth the trouble. Myself, I have a homemade puller that pulls from the back of the wheel. Heavy Acme rod as a drive through a hitch bar. It gets them off, but sometimes with such a bang it is scary. If it is worth pulling the wheel, yes.

    Ferris 810cc 26HP Vanguard Battery Constantly Dying?

    To me, it would seem there is an issue pulling power @ the starter solenoid. Normally at the same + terminal from the battery on the solenoid, there is a feed off the same lug which goes to a fuse block. Poor supply or a ground for that matter can keep your starter solenoid from actually firing...

    X380 backfires

    So, surging etc. after it has run for 5 minutes? A real simple thing to try is get a few feet of 1/4" fuel line. Drop one end into a small fuel can and the other hook behind the fuel filter. If it doesn't do it, debris is plugging the pick up in the fuel tank.
