I have a Kohler 5 HP carburated engine with a carburetor that needs adjusting. What is the setting of the carburetor?
When we start the motor it will idle for a few minutes then quit.
We try giving it gas and it chokes up and dies. We attempt to run the motor with the choke part way on and the motor will run for about 1 minute before quitting. The spark plug is dry and heavily fouled.
The engine had been setting for a couple of years. We reseated the valves and cleaned out the carburetor, added new oil and gasoline. The P.O. had said that the carburetor was new and used for only an hour.
Any suggestions and what is the proper initial setting for the low idle jet and the high speed jet?
Here's a photo of the engine:
