Charlie-
Actually, I think he's more related to Kraig than me...

1) I do not play guitar, Kraig does

2) Well, there's the hair thing again...

Art, you're killing me today!

1) Sooo, you never learned to play that acoustic you bought a year or so back?

2) Hair today, gone tomorrow. Darn I look similar to most of these emoticons.

Kraig, not killing, more like a sting, wouldn't you say.
Art, bought any pink paint lately, can't wait for the update.

I need some advice on adjusting a carb i think. I purchased a Walboro carb from Kevin off the site. It was of a running 782 w/ a KT-17. It seems to idle fine but when poor the throttle to it mowing it seems like it is not at full power. Every so often it sounds like it is surging or bouncing of like the rev limitor. With the old carb it never lacked power. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Steve, sounds like you might not have it adjusted properly, this might help.

STEVEN - Your Cub Cadet does have a rev limiter, or more correctly a Governor to allow a relatively constant engine RPM regardless of engine load. Not sure which CC your having the problem with but assume it's your 782. I don't have info on adjusting the governor on that engine assuming it's a KT17.

I'd adjust the carb according to the info Kraig posted. Lean carb settings frequently cause surging at higher RPM's which sounds like your problem. Also cause over-heating, and lack of power. Best to error on the rich side with air-cooled engines.

Dave-
I've been busy at work for the past 3 weeks straight, but now I've got some time off. The parts are still sitting in the pile I put them in this spring. Perhaps later this week or early next week I'll run it through the blaster and get it off to the powder-coater.

Kraig-
Speaking of pink paint, your stuff is all glued together.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Art, sweet!

You gonna be home around 4:15 or so for me to pick those up?

Thanks!

BTW, they don't look pink?
