I had explained to my dear how important it is for the tractor not to overheat and catch fire as the husband is useful around the house unburned. She agreed.

Re: Kohler K-series engine temperature
Ok. Just finished cutting the grass with the Case 224. About 45 minutes of run time, engine rpm at 2750 or so. While cutting. Came back to the garage and tested temperature as soon as I got of the tractor. Running test, engine off test and engine oil. Now you know why you run them a bit for cool down.

Mine, to compare
Noel, was not annoyed at all. In fact I really appreciate your suggestions!

Okay, never mind, seems their on sale again, not as good deal as yours, though.FUTZ wrote: ↑Fri Jul 15, 2022 4:52 pmYou seemed to have got a good deal, if it comes up again, say a re-order request, get one for me.Eugen wrote: ↑Thu Jul 14, 2022 5:00 pm It was 25.43 free shipping.

Re: Kohler K-series engine temperature
My wife told me about some new thing, prime deals. This was like that. Now it's more, even if I reorder. If it goes on sale again I'll let you know.

Re: Kohler K-series engine temperature
Both plugs look good I’d say Eugen. Mine just a hair richer.

Re: Kohler K-series engine temperature
Looks ok if you are worried about it open the main jet screw 1/16 of a turn . It is really close . Air temp, humidity, and E in the fuel will all make minor changes in the colour .

Re: Kohler K-series engine temperature
Ordered a thermocouple thermometer from ebay a while ago and it finally arrived. I measured the temperature of the oil right after I turned the tractor off and it was 174F. At the same time the probe under the spark plug measured 313F. Quite a difference!
I will repeat the measurements a few times to get an average.

Re: Kohler K-series engine temperature
Your measurements and mine are a bit different Eugen. Be good to see what your average is.

Re: Kohler K-series engine temperature
I agree, plus I don't know how much to trust this thermometer. I'll test it with boiling water.
