I rebuilt the carb on the 314 and I adjusted the govenor according to the kohler manual that I have. now the problem is it sounds like its a little to high in the throttle and at half throttle its wide open...any ideas what is wrong? tips tricks appreciated thanks!

:welcome: Welcome to MLF, glad you found us and jumped on board. :hohoho:


I don't know if you ran it after you rebuilt the carb but before you adjusted the gov. but you may want to make sure all the linkages are back in the right holes on the throttle shaft for starters.

Let us know as there are a lot of sharp mech-tech guys here who would love to help.

Maybe a pin hole air leak between the throttle plate and the block? That's the only thing I can think of besides linkage adjustment.

its almost like the govenor is hunting i got my linkages back to like they should...half way throttle its cutting out "running rough" but throttle up skosh and it goes away i need to get it adjusted right not having heat in the shop ill wait till tomorrow ill update and let you guys know what happens

That might help, sometimes a picture is worth a thousand opinions.

I agree with ol' Cinco Puntos,
