*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

1-800-544-2444 (U.S. & Canada) or contact your

Kohler Engine Dealer or Service Distributor, they're in

the Yellow Pages under Engines-Gasoline.
