John Deere 345 Kawasaki Enging Surging
I have a JD 345 with a Kawasaki Engine. I purchased used. It is only
2 years old. When I purchased it I changed the oil to Mobile 1 fully synthetic oil 10w30. When the engine warms up it surges real bad. I just got it back from John deere to fix the problem and I still have it. Any suggestions? Thanks Jason Hochstetler |

At least with Briggs and Straton engines, the surging syndrome can be cured by replacing the main gasket in the carburetor. This has the accelerator pump diaphram on it. These things get hard with ages and just need replacing. But a carb rebuild kit and throw away most of the jets and springs etc. These are not bad, take time to replace, and you are likely to introduce more problems than you cure. You can try adjusting things until you are blue in the face but it won't work. Or you can pay somebody to "tune it up" but all they do is the quickie rebuild. |
