Got the 1812 fixed
 

Thanks to Matt the coil on the motor was bad.I also found out that the motor has been rebuilt and the bad part is that someone left out two motor mount bolts! It messed up the whole drive line i bought a new drive shaft,flex discs,drive flange.It does run but the float is bad so the carb would flood i ordered a float today it will be in 2mro.I also bought ags for the rear i just bought one for now at TSC.Attachment 13374

Glad you got it fixed Sam!
The new shoes will look great on the 1812!:beerchug:

Well said!

Thanks Mike! I'll have to save up to get the other one now.

Thanks Duke! I can't wait to see it with the ags. I make a vid on youtube on it.

Sam , I heard you say on your video you bought a Carter carb at TSC ?? You sure it's not a Walbro ??

If it is a Carter , I am heading to TSC. Thought they quit making Carters.

It is not a Walbro i asked the guy there he said no it is a Kohler carb.It is $160 It is brand new.

Sweet video! I've got to clear some time out so I can check out all of your other videos out!

Great looking 1812! Glad you got it going. Can't wait to see the ags on your 1812! :ThumbsUp:

Thanks Duke i have alot on there you will like

Thanks Allen!:beerchug:

you tube video
 

What did the commenter mean by add a 12 volt fan to your hydro? Is there a known heat problem with them? I did notice that the 1812 was missing all of the cooling shroud that my 1811 has and that could affect the cooling some. Any secret knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

The fan on the drive shaft broke he meant to cool the hydro. Do you mean the shroud on the front of the motor? I do have it i toke it off to get to the belt easier than burn my hand on the the pipe again:bash2: That did not feel good. There was a cooling problem with the motor because of the baked on oil packed in the jugs it was bad. The hydro is fine no heating isses there i cleaned the fins. As long has you don't work it to hard it won't over heat.

I like the vid!

I like the coment on the true powers, I like the super lugs better too! Too bad Carlisle stopped making them in 10.50 for our cubs. I think those are Oregon, branded something else. I think that tread is much better than true powers!

That's a sweet 1812. I know it's a pain but I would highly recommend putting a new hydro fan on even if it's only used for light duty especially with currents temps this summer.

Thanks! I'll put a new fan in the fall when i'm not using it. It is a pain to take the drive shaft out.

Thanks! i don't like the the tru powers.There good for the lawn but not the garden or pulling trees and stuff.I love the super lugs!:beer2:
