Gosh thank you so much ! Your the only person on TH-cam thats shown this !!!!! It have never worked on a mower before, but i can do this ! May God bless you!!
I think your video rocked. I watch a lot and this is the first time I’ve ever commented but I loved your video. I walked away feeling like I you covered it very well I actually learned a lot I want to watch more of your videos cus I actually got rush. cuz so many videos I watch and walk away not learning a dang thing. Thanks
Thank you very much TNT. I had the exact same problem when I installed a new carburetor on my Kohler engine. The throttle stayed at high speed no matter where I put it.
Dude.... Not all heroes wear capes!! I mean, well, you might wear a cape... I don't judge 😅 Thank you for this video... I have the Kohler Pro CV16S which is basically the same engine setup you show and replaced the carb and it low idles great but high idle it has a very small surge. Will be checking the plate today. Thanks again 😊
God send to teach the people,s the right way to learn this information. This is really good instrustions for anyone who want to learn the right way, thank again my friend.
That lift is pretty cool! My dad finally let me mess with our old riding mower, and I’m trying to get some more speed out of it and add a pedal I can use for throttle, seems like not many people really do this sort of thing!
hello i have an ARIENS 42 gear manual ..we replced the carb gasket and now the throttle handle will move and work choke great but wont move the throttle tab where that wire goes into it on CARB..we didnt touch anything else..if i move the throttle little lever with a pencil and push on it , it will move and run ok..please help
Great video!!! I have been driven crazy with my CV15S 15HP screaming at low idle since I swapped Carb and Linkages from my old Kohler that blew a conn rod. Place the replacement Kohler 15HP on , fired it up and it screamed high RPM. Immediately shut it off and looked for a sweet spot on that govenor shaft. Could not find it! Question: When you adjusted the govenor shaft conuter clock wise as the throttle plate was wide open, what was your throttle position? At low idle?
Fire it up and let it warm up and do the adjusting as its running! You will hear the sweet spot! But dont go by the way it sounded with the old carb as there was a reason you changed it! Also the two carbs may be internaly differant! The Thottle position was on idle,so low postion, Middle on mine is full then all the way up is choke!
While I found some useful information from your video, I have a couple of questions. What about the spring on the backside of the throttle plate to allow the choke to return to the open position after starting? And I see that you deleted your fuel pump, Why did you leave it open? I would think that you would lose oil like on a car engine with a mechanical fuel pump.
I have almost the exact same mower, the 15.5 HP and am trying to get it to drive faster. For my mower, full throttle is in the middle, choke is at the top and idle is at the bottom. How fast should the engine be running in idle? And how do I measure the RPM’s? I don’t want my engine exploding on me. I understand the concept but its kind of confusing
I'll agree with you except for moving the plate down. By doing that you are messing with the spring tension for the governor. If you do mess with moving the plate, be sure to adjust the governor back to location. before running the engine. Which really defeats your reason for moving the plate. Those two screws holding the plate have thread locker on them so that they don't vibrate and move. and to deter people from moving the plate. Adjust the idle with the idle screw, that is what is it's. there for.
The plate also has the slots in it for the adjustment! That's why there is elongated slots there! and that's how the Repair/Service manual says to do it! Thanks for watching!
Gotta agree with TnT on the plate adjustment. The service manual does state to adjust the max RPM by adjusting the plate after the throttle cable is properly adjusted as TnT states. Where I found a difference with this video and my own CV15S engine is the plate moving up decreases rpm and moving it downward increases rpm. This is because more or less tension is applied to the governor spring.
Pointer. Not trying to be rude but from a chemistry standpoint there really isn't any argument here. Synthetic oil has the same functional properties as conventional, however its more far more thermally stable and consistent. The engines are engineered for a certain weight oil and oil that has certain SAE and API specs. It does flow better an exasperate an existing oil leak on an older motor but otherwise there is zero reason to run conventional unless you're just trying to flip a vehicle.
would have been so much better to show what you were doing instead of talking and pointing your finger all around. Show what to do while your explaining.

I was so happy to find your video. Exactly what I needed to see. Thank you.

I watched twice to get every ounce of information. I Thank you for it! 🙏

You saved my day!!! I've been looking a video for this!!! Thanks!!!
I have the older version of this mower, I have the 15.5 HP. thanks for the upload
no problem! Thanks for watching!
Exactly what I needed. Huge thank you.
Excellent video, well explained and very didactic.. thanks for posting..
Yes sir! thanks for watching!

Thanks, your video lifted me out of the poo

The lift is for doing paint and body work! It keeps the body clear for panel replacement!
Very informative. Thanks
Awesome video man!!! That’s the missing link for me!!
I love the pistol grip lever handle. Classic !
I like it too! Thanks for watching!
Excellent video
Hey thanks for watching!

What size wrench did you use?
What's a four way screwdriver?
Sometimes called a Phillips!
👍

Would be better to switch location of the filter and cut off valve, then can change filter with no mess
Good Idea! Thanks!
if this works Im sending you some money
It worked, Thanks for watching!

I have my own thoughts on the subject! Hey thanks for watching!
would have been so much better to show what you were doing instead of talking and pointing your finger all around. Show what to do while your explaining.
Ill keep that in mind, Thanks for watching
