    In today's video, we look at a John Deere 316 that's had an engine swap!
    My customer said it wasn't running right & mentioned he had to leave the choke
    on, in order to keep the engine running.
    The problem with using this engine in this particular application, is the
    placement of the engine itself.
    Because of the rotation of the engine, it needed to be mounted backwards,
    which places the front of the engine (Where the carburetor is) near the center
    console, instead of near the Hood (At the front of the engine).
    To remove this carburetor, we would need to remove the intake manifold & in
    order to do this, we would need to remove the engine.
    However, we were able to solve this issue using a couple basic tools!
    The issue was a clogged Pilot Jet, a clogged Main Jet & also a sticking Fuel
    Shut-off Solenoid!
    John Deere 316 Model: M00316X287217

    I had to service the same engine that was on a John Deere Bunker Rake. I had to remove the whole engine to clean the carburetor (as you mentioned, bolted from underneath). As much as it was difficult to get all that done, the customer (who bought it used) said that it runs better then when he first bought it! He has been instructed to always run high octane, non-ethanol fuel from now on. Thanks for the video.

    Really great surgical repair to get this awesome engine running properly. You likely saved your customer a serious amount of cash by doing the repair in the manner that you did. A brain surgeon couldn't have done a better job. Looking forward to your next video they keep getting better.

    Nice resto your customer done. Briggs and Stratton should’ve designed their vanguard intake manifolds differently. Kinda nonsense to remove everything to perform a complete carb clean. However it is nice to have the main jet right after the backfire solenoid, there’s a bunch of models that doesn’t have this conveniently placed jet. Good video bro! Keep up the hard work!

    Great and valuable lessons learned. Thank you! I have three JD 317s: 1.) Original Series I Kohler, 2.) Series II Kohler, and 3.) a Vanguard exactly like the one in this video. I have a small problem I hope you can help me with regarding the Vanguard. It doesn't seem to be at the correct RPM at full throttle as required by the JD 317 drive system. That is the ONLY problem. I can work it all day with no issues (bucket loader, full tiller, pulling an overloaded trailer, and of course mowing with a JD 48 inch deck). But if I go from one field to another for mowing, for example, the top speed of the Vanguard powered 317 is much slower than the other two (tires are the same) 317s. Also, the Vanguard just doesn't sound like it is at full speed. There are no issues with the throttle cable adjustment. I was unable to obtain a "run speed" from anywhere to tell me what the Vanguard Specification should be at (RPM) when set to full throttle. Also, even if I could find that out, I don't know how to adjust it. Do you know the correct RPM for this application and how to adjust the governor to obtain the correct RPM at full throttle? Much thanks for any info and outstanding how to diagnose video!

    • @EliminatorPerformance
      @EliminatorPerformance  4 роки тому +1

      Not without removing the red cover. The carburetor is bolted from underneath the intake manifold. Meaning that has to come out in order to get the carb off. So remove red cover > intake manifold > carb.

      @robj2704 5 років тому

      Hmm...thought it was the other way around. Low octane burns up pretty quickly and is not in the cylinder long enough to keep it running cooler. Oh well, I could have it backwards, I guess.

    • @EliminatorPerformance
      @EliminatorPerformance  5 років тому

      Higher octane fuel burns slower and more efficiently, but also burns hotter.
      Lower octane fuel burns faster, thus combusts quickly, which generally causes knock in some engines.

    Its Kohler engine not doing good because of the lack of parts i need I'm changing it out and store it in the shed it runs but is old and lacking those old parts
    The other mower has a transmission problem but a good engine so I'll make it fit and work then find new belts then I can play on that old thing kinda don't like the puke green so might repaint it some other color
    My problem will be the hood is not gonna shut with the new old engine put on i can see it by eye view that it won't because the replacement engine i could cut the hood but they don't make 1967 hoods any more i gotta be careful when modifying that one

    • @EliminatorPerformance
      @EliminatorPerformance  5 років тому

      I wouldn't say it's a poor design, it's just that the rear of the engine on this machine is actually supposed to be the front!
      Usually you can remove the hood, take off the red cover, pull the intake manifold and then remove carb.
      But due to the way this engine was mounted, this is what we have to do!
