Hi, new member here. A lot of great info! Anyways, on to my questions:
This Kohler CV15 I'm working on hunts at full throttle. It also
backfires a little when throttling down. I've cleaned the carb, put
a new aircleaner on, checked and cleaned the plug (which reads
normal), and adjusted the governor. It idles great and throttles
up fine but after a minute or two at full throttle that's when it
starts to hunt and spit. Any ideas on how to cure this?
I replaced the plug and it's a little better but still hunting and
spitting a bit. Time to clean the carb again I guess. I also noticed
after I ran it awhile what sounded like gurgling or bubbling in
the carb and some gas was pooling in the air cleaner bowl.
That's not normal, is it?
Another problem is that the ammeter is always showing a charge
and when I put a multimeter on the battery it reads anywhere
from 16-16.5 volts, even with the lights on. The battery is new
but went dead a couple days ago when the key was left on. I
charged it with a battery charger but is the charging system or
battery going or gone?
