[SEL] O.T. 214 John Deere

[Duncan Denman]

Hi All,

It may be the governor as it does not like to idle down after it warms up and
has been worked. I talked to the former ownere last night and he said he used
to change the points and it worked.
It is a 14 HP Kohler engine in it. Runs good. Seems to have an automotive
style coil which I am told is a replacement.. Has a seperate choke as well
