The odd K-161
I have what maybe is a replacement kohler for my 62 "O" . For starters it doesn't have a coil that mounts on the side of the block. It also doesn't have threads on the block for rigid pipe. It has a round air filter. This thing ran great until i recently did a resto of the tank and line. Now it floods. Probably got something in the carb. Anyways just wanted to show you guys this motor and see what yall think. Any suggestions on the flooding would be great. It is getting spark.

Looks to be one that was converted from Pull start that would explain the coil. I would say get a carb kit and give the carb a good clean in. Make sure the float is set correctly and that it dosnt have a hold in it. (Shake the float by your ear and see if you hear anything inside)

The K161-28777 was NOT built for Cub Cadet. It is listed by Kohler as a "basic" replacement.

Well, gonna pull the carb first i feel the float is stuck too. My k301 did the same thing when i first got it. Does anyone think I could put a regular coil on this motor and bypass or disengage current wire? It also looks like there is a pulley
in the front where you could wrap around a pull rope. I Kind of like that.

The motor doesn't seem that it is designed for the throttle or choke cable for a tractor.
I figured it was a replacement for a welder or a tiller maybe. I guess its gonna stay firm in my tractor frame until it dies. I already had to customize a throttle cable set up for it. I don't have a solution for the choke cable. I'm not worried about having one. I kinda figured the motor was a bit off when I bought the cub.

Well, not a Walbro carb. carter model n. So far found lots of crud in the bowl
and upon inspection found that the pivot shaft for the float was all the way to the side causing it to stick. This old carb is very very dirty and requires me to tinker with joy. Gonna take my time and make it right.

I think i'm gaining ground on the flooding. I adjusted the new float and got her to fire a few times. still flooded but not near what it did before. They say set the float at 1 1/32. I don't know how to measure that so I made a guess. Anyways I think if I bring that tab up a bit it should be adequate.

Guessing is bad practice if you don't know.... educated guesses are good, if you know about the topic at hand.  There is a nice picture of how to get that measurement in the Kohler Service Manual. Page 6.9. Also, that measurement is how far the float should hang. We are more concerned with it's "up" position, which is a different measurement. This is probably why you are still flooding.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
