    David Thanks for the info. Now if I can just figure out why I have absolutely no power, just tried to start it not five minutes ago and I have no power at all and the battery checks out fine. Neil

    I have a question for anyone here, I cannot seem to locate anything about this in my books so I will have to throw this out and see if anybody knows. how do you advance or retard the timing on a 12hp kohler? I assume that it has to do with the points but do I set them to open sooner or later...

    Does anyone here happen to know what size the hole is in the main jet on a 12 hp kohler I cant find anything about it in my books. Also for those who may be interested, I know some were asking about them, I just installed one of Kirks Pointsaver modules and it works great my little tractor...

    Hello again I am back, still no luck getting my little toy to run. But the tiller mounted on my other garden tractor now so as soon as my drive belt comes in I can get started on getting my garden in this year. I have a question for anybody here, what type of lubricant does a rotary tiller use...

    Well I have officially had it with this thing, I have exhausted my bag of tricks, tried a new ignition switch, that did no good. even went so far as to take the switch out of my good runner and tried it (it uses the same type switch) still no go. tried a hotlead straight to the coil for a few...

    Dennis thanks on setting me straight on that thing on the camshaft, I thought it was an advance mechanism of some sort. guess I should read the manual a bit more. Neil

    Probably should have mentioned all that I have done before dont know why I didnt, just getting forgetful in my old age I guess. It has new points and condenser on it, as well as a new plug. and as far as exhaust being plugged I think my cat can attest to the fact that it is clear when she...

    Well back on line again, it is dang cold here this morning. Harry, That is correct I followed the static timing procedure and had no luck still will not start and stay running. It is getting fuel as I pulled the plug after several attempts to start it failed and the plug was wet (not fouled)...

    Tom, It has plenty of fuel and it is not flooding out although the fuel valve on the bottom of the tank is leaking but that has nothing to do with the problem. I physically checked by loosening the float bowl screw and got a steady flow of fuel so I know that is not the problem. I am currently...
