I found that my 212 with a kohler engine had the same problem...#1 the governor shaft bushing had backed itself out and my gov. shaft was floating around and #2 at that time I also found my carburetor to be loose from its flange which will cause it to race and run lean..... but in my case when gov shaft was loose it was leaking oil pretty good the engine had been prev. been re-built good luck hopes this helps

I have a John Deere L111 riding mower is there a cheaper oil filter than the John Deere brand maybe even a car filter what do you recommend?

I would recommend using the proper John Deere brand oil filter, even if it is more expensive. Using the wrong kind of oil filter could cause a lot of damage to the mower, the repairing of which could be more expensive than buying the correct type of filter in the first place. Of course you can use a different brand of oil filter. After all, John Deere does not make oil filters in the first place. That John Deere filter is made by another filter company and just branded with John Deere. I recommend Purolator oil filters. They make OEM filters for many companies and may even make the John Deere filter. You are just paying a premium price for the name and nothing more. Go to any auto parts store that sells Purolator filters and tell them the model filter your lawn mower uses and they will cross reference it with Purolator. Bosch, & Wix are also great filters.
