QuestionThanks for the reply. Unfortunately the cylinder with the higher compression
is the one that smokes. I thought about the carb, but why only the 1 cylinder
and not both if it flooding?

Left cyl. 65, right cyl. 70. Don't know what the letters mean LV etc? The only
thing I found was K532S. What about the valve springs being reversed?

-----Question-----
Right cylinder loads up after engine warms up and black smoke pours out,
engine studders, then clears up and runs fine, repeats. The more fuel the
worse. Changed coil, wire, plugs,head gaskets - no change. Cleaned and
lapped valves/ seats - no change. Swapped valves with other side - no
change.
Transmission fluid to fuel - no change. Are the valve springs the same?

Hello Doug:
What is the Compression on this Engine(both cylinders)? Is this a LV, CS, CV,
ect Engine? Thanks.

Hello Doug:
Compression is Low. 70psi is Minimum. Did you Lap in the Valves when you
Switched them? If Not, then the Valves will need to be Lapped in. This could
be the Reason for the Low Compression. The Springs are the Same. From your
E-mails, I Suggest you Check the Carburetor for Flooding Also. You can View
a Service Manual for this Engine at this Addy http://www.kohlerengines.com/
service/manuals/index.jsp and Enter the Model Number K532 and Click Find
Manual. Then Locate your Model Number and Select the Service Manual PDF.

Answer Hello Doug:
I Suggest before you go Any Further, you Lap the Valves and Set the Valve Lash. If there isn't enough Compression, there wont be enough Vacuum to Pull the Gas Into the Cylinder and the Low Compression Cylinder cant Flood. Hope this Helps.
