Of course, everybody does but you dont seem interested in solving the problem. You are like a cat playing with a mouse rather than killing it. Thats fine, if you have nothing else to do and "fixing" a simple carb for weeks/months at a time is a hobby for you, have at it. But it is in fact a simple fix and many people have told you how already.

For the carbon issue, use water injection. Its been done for a hundred years now (maybe more). Or take it apart and clean it. Its a simple job, dont make it more than what it is...

If your carb is running rich, on an engine that is notorious for being lean from the factory, then I will bet dimes to doughnuts that one of the previous owners was in that carb jacking around with things. A guy can do a lot of damage to a carb with torch tip cleaner, and you can end up trying to "fix" his mistakes by mixing your own gas for years. Thats cool if you need a hobby but not so much if you want to accomplish something. If you want it fixed, replace the jets, they are clearly opened up if you are running rich on a lean running engine. It will cost you about $4 and 45 minutes of your time. If that dont fix things (it will though), replace the carb. New carbs are available on Ebay for $20-50. Buy one with adjustable jets. Or dont and post for the next 3 year how you got duped into buying a new carb that is worthless and now you are mixing special gas just for you Kohler engine.

But like I said, I dont think you want this fixed, I think you want to play around trying to find a longer, harder version of tried and true solutions. Because of that, the best we can do is wish you luck and encourage you to have fun because even if someone offeres to mail you a perfect fix, maybe a new carb, you wouldnt accept it (it has happened in other threads you started). So have fun and good luck.
