*NOTE: The actual low idle speed depends on the application – refer to equipment manufacturer’s
recommendations. The recommended low idle speed for basic engines is 1200 RPM. To ensure best
results when setting the low idle fuel needle, the low idle speed must not exceed 1500 RPM.
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 while the engine is still warm from
operation. See “Change Oil” on page 9.
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 tank
and system are 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. Remove the spark plug. Cover the spark plug hole
with your thumb, and turn the engine over until the
piston is at the top of its stroke. (Pressure against
the thumb is greatest.) Reinstall the plug, but do
not connect the plug lead.
6. Store the engine in a clean, dry place.
Parts Ordering
The engine Model, Specification, 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.
Major Repair
Major repair information is available in Kohler Engine
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 genuine
Kohler replacement parts necessary to perform this
service. For Sales & Service assistance call

Kohler Engine Dealer or Service Distributor, they're in
