Troubleshooting

When troubles occur, be sure to check the simple causes which, at first, may seem to obvious to be considered.

For example, a starting problem could be caused by an empty fuel tank. Some common causes of engine troubles

are listed in the following table.

Do not attempt to service or replace major engine components, or any items that require special timing or

adjustment procedures. Have your Kohler Engine Service Dealer do this work.

Storage

If the engine will be out of service for two months or

more, use the following storage procedure:

1. Clean the exterior surfaces of the engine.

2. Change the oil and filter while the engine is still

warm from operation. See Change Oil and Oil

Filter on page 8.

3. The fuel system must be completely emptied, or

the gasoline must be treated with a stabilizer to

prevent deterioration. If you choose to use a

stabilizer, follow the manufacturers

recommendations, and add the correct amount for

the capacity of the fuel system. Fill the fuel tank

with clean, fresh gasoline. Run the engine for 2-3

minutes to get stabilized fuel into the carburetor.

To empty the system, run the engine until the fuel

tank and system are empty.

4. Remove the spark plugs. Add one tablespoon of

engine oil into each spark plug hole. Install plugs,

but do not connect the plug leads. Crank the

engine two or three revolutions.

5. Remove the spark plugs. Cover one spark plug

hole with your thumb, and turn the engine over

until the piston is at the top of its stroke. (Pressure

against thumb is greatest.) Repeat on other side.

Reinstall the plugs, but do not connect the plug

leads.

6. Store the engine in a clean, dry place.

Parts Ordering

The engine Specification, Model, and Serial Numbers

are required when ordering replacement parts from

your Kohler Engine Service Dealer. These numbers are

found on the identification plate which is affixed to the

engine shrouding. Include letter suffixes if there are

any. See Engine Identification Numbers on page 5.

Always insist on genuine Kohler parts. All genuine

Kohler parts meet strict standards for fit, reliability, and

performance.

Service Manuals. However, major repair generally
