securing
fl
ywheel to crankshaft.
2. Remove screw and washer.
3. Use a puller to remove

Inspection
Inspect
fl
ywheel for cracks and
fl
ywheel keyway for
damage. Replace
fl
ywheel if it is cracked. Replace
fl
ywheel, crankshaft, and key if
fl
ywheel key is sheared
or keyway is damaged.
Inspect ring gear for cracks or damage. Kohler does not
provide ring gear as a serviceable part. Replace
fl
ywheel
if ring gear is damaged.
Remove Stator and Backing Plates
1. Remove screws securing backing plates and stator
wire bracket (if equipped). Remove backing plates
and stator wire bracket.
2. Remove screws and stator.
Remove Ignition Modules
1. Disconnect lead from each ignition module.
2. Rotate
fl
ywheel so magnet is away from modules.
3. Remove mounting screws and ignition modules.
Note position of ignition modules.
Remove Debris Screen and Fan
1. Remove socket head cap screws securing metal
debris screen and remove screen.
2. Remove spacers, paying attention to curvature of
spring washers between spacers and fan.
3. If there is a plastic debris screen attached to fan,
remove screws securing screen. Removing screen
will expose screws fastening fan to
fl
ywheel.
4. Remove screws and fan.
Remove Flywheel
NOTE: Always use a
fl
ywheel strap wrench or holding
tool to hold
fl
ywheel when loosening or
tightening
fl
ywheel screw. Do not use any type
of bar or wedge to hold
fl
ywheel. Use of such
tools could cause
fl
ywheel to become cracked or
damaged.
NOTE: Always use a
fl
ywheel puller to remove
fl
ywheel
from crankshaft. Do not strike crankshaft or
fl
ywheel, as these parts could become cracked
or damaged. Striking puller or crankshaft can
cause crank gear to move, affecting crankshaft
end play.
