Figure 4 Fuel Pump
4.
Clean fuel head thoroughly with solvent and a fine wire brush.
5.
Holding pump cover with diaphragm surface up, place new valve gasket into the cavity. Now assemble
the valve spring and valves into the cavity and reassemble valve retainer and lock in position by inserting
and tightening fuel pump valve retainer screw.
6.
Place pump cover assembly in a clean place and rebuild the lower diaphragm section.
7.
Holding mounting bracket, press down on the diaphragm to compress spring under it, then turn bracket
900 to unhook diaphragm so it can be removed.
8.
Clean mounting bracket with a solvent and a fine wire brush.
9.
Replace the diaphragm operating spring, stand new spring in casting, position diaphragm and press down
on diaphragm to compress spring and turn 90 to reconnect diaphragm.
10.
Hold mounting bracket, then place the pump cover on it (make sure that indicating marks are in line) and
insert the four screws. DO NOT TIGHTEN. With the hand on the mounting bracket only, push the pump
lever to the limit of its travel and hold in this position while tightening the four screws. This is important
to prevent stretching the diaphragm.
11.
Mount the fuel pump on engine, using the new mounting gaskets. Connect the fuel lines.
GOVERNOR SYSTEM
(all models)
All Kohler Single Cylinder Engines are equipped with centrifugal flyweight mechanical type governors.
The governor gear - flyweight mechanism is mounted within the crankcase and driven off a gear on the
camshaft.
OPERATION:
In operation, centrifugal force causes the flyweights to move outward with increase in speed
and inward with decreasing speed. As the flyweights move outward, they force the rod portion of the
assembly to push outward. Tension of the governor spring pulls. the flyweights back inward with decrease in
engine speed The rod, in turn, contacts a tab on the governor cross shaft causing it to rotate with changing
speed. One end of the cross shaft protrudes through the side of the crankcase.
FUEL PUMP
The mechanical pump operates off a cam on the
camshaft. The fuel pump lever rides on the cam and
transmits this mechanical action to a diaphragm within the
pump body.
Reconditioning Procedure:
1.
Remove fuel lines and mounting screws holding pump
to engine.
2.
With a file, make an indicating mark across a point at
the union of fuel pump body and cover. This is a
positive marking to assure proper re-assembly.
Remove assembly screws and remove cover.
3.
Turn cover over and remove valve plate screw and
washer. Remove valve retainer, valves, valve springs
and valve gasket, noting their position. Discard valve
springs, valves and valve retainer gasket.
