Kohler V twin 18 governer question
I dropped a Kohler v twin 18 engine in my 982 which runs a 50" mower deck. The governer spring is set to the factory settings but sometimes it feels like the governer isnt kicking in to its full potential. Can anyone advise what holes to move the governer spring to to put it to its full potential?
Thanks Scott |

I think you will find that the CH18 isn't what the old Onan you did have was. They aren't full of torque like a horizontal opposed.
That said.... The different holes in the governor aren't for making it give it more fuel. They change the sensitivity. I.E. how much RPM drop is required before it really starts working. I don't suggest changing it. On a tractor, the factory position is the way to go. If you change it, it will make it jerky to drive when you move the hydro, cause the motor will "jump" when the load of the hydro increases. (BTDT) Best thing to do is make sure that the governor is adjusted properly. The service manual tells you how. If you don't have a manual on the CH, it's exactly the same procedure as any other Kohler motor, so use any Kohler manual you want. |

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.
