That other engine would be the right engine for the 128 and would bolt right in. In my opinion, the 128 is a better tractor because it doesn't have iso-mounts. I've had 2 of them, and still have one for the time being that I have a tiller on. The 128 is my 2nd favorite gear drive....you can't go wrong with one for $25 and a $200 almost-new engine. You won't be disappointed. :) |

10-4 Matt. The ISO's on the 1000 are long gone.

Update: I started with the most simple remedy that I could think of and that was a De-Carb although when I had the head off I cleaned it up pretty good last summer. I was thinking that there was maybe a piece of crud in there keeping the exhaust valve from seating. I ran her until thoroughly warmed up, pulled the spark plug and poured about 2 oz. of Sea Foam in the plug hole. After about 3 minutes of smoke I poured another shot in the hole and bumped the starter to assure the valves and seats got a good coating. More smoke but it ceased after about 10 minutes. Then I cleaned and installed the plug and tried to start, No Luck, Uh-Oh. With a shot of starting fluid she started up and I blasted the carb with Sea Foam Deep Creep. Lots more smoke. Shut it down and let her soak for another 10 minutes. Upon start-up the difference was profoundly noticeable. Even after full warm-up the K241 revved freely without any bogging, starvation or backfiring. Governor surging is eliminated. My guess is that power increased by 30%. A quick release of the clutch produces a nice wheelie. Whatever piece O' crud that was in there is gone, at least for now. I have used Sea Foam before but never got results that I thought were worth the price. I agree with Merk that as an additive, it may actually hurt engine performance, I use MMO, but as a de-carb, it's the hot lick. Now on to my outboard motor. Rich |
