Yep, Henkel Adhesives (owner of Loctite) says it is an anaerobic setting, only sets once air is excluded. Their salesman can go on for hours about the different types of adhesives!
Hey Doug my thinking is carb needs fine tuning, even thought it run nice at idle it sounds to me to be a bit lean and not wanting to transition tfrom idle circuit to main fuel I would try a 1/8th of a turn out on the idle jet (CCW) and see if it idles up smooth if better but not quite right give it another 1/8th of a turn then go on to the main jet as needed
That's the theory behind many loctite type materials, they "dry" without air. We use 242, 571, 515, and 680 at work everyday.
Oh and I found out I'm allergic to green and red, my fingers will itch after 30 mins or so if I get it on them. It also tastes sweet like old green antifreeze (I'm a nail biter
)

I saw a thread on Weekend Freedom Machines that sound like a similar issue with his K321. Problem is he hasn't found the problem yet either. Might check in every now and then to see if he finds something.
JD 314, K321 Won't Throttle Up
Need help with ideas why my K321 will idle great but will not throttle up past idle. When throttle moved, it simply wants to stall and occasionally fires, but will not sustain any high RPM. It started doing this so I've done the following over the past few weeks: Replaced points (twice) set at...
Another one where they found a bad condenser.
Kohler Will Not Throttle Up
Ok, got a K321 here that will start only on a idle. When started it runs smooth as silk, go to throttle it up it will hack, cough, spit shake. Give it more throttle and just dies. When running at idle you put any pull on the motor it will kill it. Took carb apart it’s nice a clean. Starting to th...

I put this in Google search "Kohler K321 idles but won't throttle up" and it looks like a lot of people have this same problem. I don't recall for sure but the K321 in my JD 214 had an issue and it turned out to be the coil. Can't remember if it was just dead or would idle and not throttle up.
DUH! I should have known it is anaerobic! Feeble mind strikes again.That's the theory behind many loctite type materials, they "dry" without air. We use 242, 571, 515, and 680 at work everyday.

Marty, I quit chewing my fingernails when I went to work at a $h!t plant---LOL!
I will go through the fuel system and make sure everything is clean. I couldn't get any improvements adjusting the carb.
Some interesting reading, CJet. Might end up buying points and a condenser too.I saw a thread on Weekend Freedom Machines that sound like a similar issue with his K321. Problem is he hasn't found the problem yet either. Might check in every now and then to see if he finds something.

Thanks for the comments guys! Really means a lot to me!
Worked on the slot cars today and had some in house chores and phone calls to do also, so no tractor work.

Three rules of plumbing, 1 payday is Friday, 2 shit flows downhill, 3 don't bite your fingernails!
Used 2 different used condensers but no change, and one used coil. Maybe I better buy a coil along with points and condenser.

All of the forums I looked on where people had the same type of problem never seemed to come up with one definitive answer as to the cause. It seems the same symptoms are caused by several different problems. Hope you get it figured out.
Ever think to add (at least temporary) a electric fuel pump. Something with a 1-3 psi rating ?
Maybe wouldn't make a difference... don't know
That's exactly what I use on gas or diesel.
When I had my herd there was about 5 tractors that had the low pressure fuel pumps on them. Have two in boxes yet but not much to use them on any more.
