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
requires the attention of a trained mechanic and the
use of special tools and equipment. Your Kohler
Engine Service Dealer has the facilities, training, and

perform this service. For Sales & Service assistance

Kohler Engine Dealer or Service Distributor, they're in
the Yellow Pages under Engines-Gasoline.

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 while the engine is still warm from
operation. See “Change Oil” 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
system is empty.
4. Remove the spark plug. Add one tablespoon of
engine oil into the spark plug hole. Install the plug,
but do not connect the plug lead. Crank the engine
two or three revolutions.
5. Pull the starter rope slowly until the piston is up
against compression (requires most pull force on
rope). Reinstall the plug, but do not connect the
plug lead.
6. Store the engine in a clean, dry place.
