Glad it worked out for you. I don't know much about Kohler engines but that's so weird about the flooding.

I ordered a rebuild kit just now.
At $24.00 US I couldn't afford to pass it up, they even ship it up here to Canuckistan for free!

You could always swap or drill the jet up one size, on the Chinese carb.

I might but I'm only guessing as to the cause of the engine surging/popping slightly at times.
Just glad that it's not flooding the engine....

Usually popping in the exhaust is unburnt hydrocarbons ffromt a lean condition. You could spray ether from the end of one of those little red tubes, to pin point an air leak, barring none, see if you can lift the needle one notch. Not all carbs have the notches for doing that.

Yeah, if memory serves I would bend the metal tang attached to the carb float to raise/lower the bowl level in my old Johnson/Evinrudes. The good old days, hehe!
