Thanks for your reply. You are right, I plan to start with E15.
My terramite, which has the kohler, comes with a gas solenoid. Currently, I'm removing power to the solenoid and the engine turns off in about 5 secconds, no dieseling with no gas. However I would like to lean it out a little.
When I purchased it 6 years ago, the spark plug on the left cylinder was carboned up, wasn't working. It took me a while to discover that a single carb could be rich on the left cylinder and lean on the right cylinder. Cause was a dirty carb, which I cleaned with 3 blasts of air in the 3 tiny openings on top of the carb. So when it acts up a little, I clean the dirt out of the tiny openings with air. Doing that I can see a spray of gas coming out in the venture.
Without an exhaust gas analizer, I have no real way to measure my expermintal results. The exhaust temp gauge won't work well here. The engine rarely has to run very fast to operate the hydraulics. The loads vary depending on what I'm doing.
I purchased new plugs. Guess I'll have to keep an eye on them. Also I could use the kill wire on coils to shut it off after running it hard to see if it diesels. My old plugs don't look bad, but when I was having a carbon problem I went with the next step hotter plug, which may be one of the reasons for the dieseling.
