Got it.

Okay, the only thing I can google for TIA is transient ischemic attack????

Yeah, I discovered I can shut the gas off without getting off the seat.

The mower is running well now. I cleaned the carb and suspect when I altered the solenoid earlier maybe I somehow caused the floats to bind upon reassembly. I still seem to feel some air current near the dipstick tube but the tests for a blown head gasket definitely come up negative. I...

Thank you. will order some now I know a number.

I'm looking for a float bowl gasket for a Kohler KT 730 3046. The carb, I believe, is a Walbro 16-853-19s. Is there a way to find these? Mostly what I'm seeing are full kits and the few that are gaskets only use a part number I can't find for Walbro. I have the number for the carb but not for...

Thank you. Both tests seem negative. I'm working today so I just had a second to check and it is dark underneath my pole barn but I couldn't see any smoke from the dipstick funnel. On the first check, it's the crankcase breather line to the bottom the air cleaner housing, correct? I ran it...

Model 13AQA9TTA10 Cub Kohler spec PS-KT730-3046. Serial 5301707914 I took a gamble getting the unit "as is" but was told I could bring it back within a week if it turned out to be something really serious so I was in a hurry to at least get gas to the main jet. I think the solenoid was okay...

Thank you, I will check. The oil level has checked okay but I remember being surprised how clear it was. I didn't sniff it but will just change it even if I can't smell gas.

Cub Cadet XT1 LT46 with Kohler 7000 series engine. I was fouling plugs really quickly and the engine was stuttering badly. I tried new plugs with no relief. While running, I tried removing the air filter which looked pristine and the mower ran perfectly. It is a mower I got as "non-running AS...

Uncle Buck!! I missed that one the first time around.

Fixed. Shut-off valve in and solenoid plunger nipped. The mower runs good. The solenoid might have been okay because I don't think the solenoid fitting is getting voltage. I guess, for now, if that wiring is compromised I can still function but will explore more tomorrow. The battery is low...

Thanks. Getting wrench and shut-off Monday and will check it out.

I really just wanted to ask the carb question first and maybe start a thread if the solenoid doesn't solve things. I just got a thin enough wrench to get it off. Before I bought the tractor, I confirmed it would fire on starter fluid and continue to run if given an occasional puff but it...
