    Kohler M18S engine

    Ok guys I am ready to ask about my next project on my 1811. Here is my question. Why does it steer so hard? I had 2 of these at one time, the other one steered like it had power steering. I sold it to a friend of mine for his camp at the river. I bought the one new that I kept because the other...

    Kohler M18S engine

    One thing I was going to ask you guys that are familiar with the M18S Kohler engine. When I was replacing the fuel lines and stuff I also pulled out the sparks plugs and cleaned them. They were too white looking and I think they should be burning a little more brown. Any body have any thoughts...

    Kohler M18S engine

    I have used Star-Tron for a few years and it seems to be very good. I think it and Sta-Bil are both very good additives. I also have let the gas in my Zero-turn all winter with it in there and never had any trouble with it starting and running the next spring, but I do run the carb dry before I...

    Kohler M18S engine

    Ok very good. I was asking Dramsey cuz he said he has been doing this for 40 years and I am wondering because this ethanol garbage is really hard on the fuel lines. I have replaces them on every 2 cycle thing that I have since this crap gasoline has come out !

    Ok then, I think I am going to do just that5. I am going to be out where the station is that I can buy the ethanol free fuel tomorrow and I will stop at tractor supply and get the 360 Marine Stabil for my tractor, thank you again.

    Kohler M18S engine

    Yes I do that today with all my engines, 2 cycles also. I never leave fuel in the carbs when I put them away for the winter.

    Can you tell me the name of the fuel stabilizer you are talking about here?

    Kohler M18S engine

    Yes I do use Star-Tron fuel treatment when I put my other Cub Cadet (Zero Turn) away for the winter. I also always turn off the fuel shutoff valve and then choke it when it starts to sputter till it dies.

    Kohler M18S engine

    Ok then, I like that idea but I don't have a container like that, maybe I can make one. As far as the fuel I am not close to anyplace that sells marine fuel,. I did go out to get the non-ethanol gas yesterday but the station was closed?? I will get it the next time I am out that way. I also do...

    Kohler M18S engine

    Ok, well that sounds simple enough. So do you just pour off the gasoline into another container before you use it or do you just siphon it off ??

    Kohler M18S engine

    I did replace the carb with an adjustable (both) jet one I got from "Isavetractors.com" so I could do that . It is running real good right now, just hope it starts good now. I will let you know. Thanks for everything to all of you that sent me answers. Tom

    Kohler M18S engine

    Ok, I got the magnetic block warmer and put it on the cover plate on the rear of the tractor. I will see how this works in the morning. I did get the carb put back on and got her fired up. I would like to know if anyone knows if these M18S' engines like to run a little on the rich side, I think...

    Kohler M18S engine

    Wow, phase separation ?? What is that ?? You guys are so full of info ! I am glad I got back on here. I would like to know where I can buy this magnetic heater, I think that would work great for me cuz I keep this in a partially heated garage. I am headed out to the non ethanol station to get...
