Re: Vanguard 12.5HP/14HP/16HP/18HP carburetor cleaning

@ the one on the left in the first pic is looking lean . I read somewhere that the Kohler and B&S twins have a lean bank and that the jet on one side is a half size larger and not to get them mixed up when redoing the 2 barrel carbs . Yes the 21HP and 23HP engines had 2 barrel carbs with two di...

Re: Vanguard 12.5HP/14HP/16HP/18HP carburetor cleaning

Matt , did you ever check your float height ? If too low it will also cause to run lean . Have you checked compression ? Have you tried a different set of spark plugs ? I know they are long life but that doesn't mean they can't go bad . Spark plug colour . What does it say ? Maybe more than one thi...

Re: Vanguard 12.5HP/14HP/16HP/18HP carburetor cleaning

I replaced the carb gasket this week and also shot some carb cleaner through the various holes in the carb while I had it apart. The pilot jet was nice and clean. Still lacks power.

I wiped the deck down with isopropyl alcohol...

Re: Pictures: this moment

Bought it :thumbsup: At some point I'll start work on a mount to the mule drive. Both linear actuators work. The bucket dump actuator has a clutch when it hits the end of its range.
