cause severe injury or death.
Do not work on fuel system without proper
training or safety equipment.
Fluid puncture injuries are highly toxic and hazardous.

Ensure there is an adequate supply of fuel in tank
and that fuel valve is turned ON. Vaporizer/Regulator
is preset at factory, is not serviceable, and must be
replaced if determined to be faulty. If a regulator problem
is suspected, make certain lock-off is being activated,
all electrical connections are properly secured, fuses
are good, and a minimum of 7.0 volts is being supplied.
If required, testing of regulator and lock-off may be
conducted.
1. Relieve fuel pressure at lock-off . Shut off tank valve.
If possible, run engine in a well-ventilated area until
fuel system is empty and engine stops. If unable to
run engine, work in a well-ventilated area and
carefully loosen inlet fuel fi tting on vaporizer/
regulator, slowly venting off fuel from line. When fuel
is dispensed, retighten fi tting and remove quick
connect fi tting to allow fuel to escape from line.
Insert pressure test jumper (from Kohler EFI Service
Kit) between high pressure fuel line and fuel lock-off .
2. Turn on key switch to activate lock-off and check
system pressure on gauge. If system pressure of 26
psi ± 3 is observed, wiring, lock-off , and regulator
are working properly. Turn key switch OFF and
observe system pressure. System pressure should
not drop more than 5 psi per minute. If it does drop
more that this, a leak may be present in system and
should be investigated. If system pressure is OK,
depress valve button on tester to relieve system
pressure.
a. If pressure is too high or too low, replace
regulator.
3. If lock-off did not activate (step 2), disconnect plug
from lock-off . Connect a DC voltmeter across
terminals in plug, turn on key switch and observe if a
minimum of 7 volts is present during six second
prime process.
4. If no voltage is observed, connect red lead of meter
to red wire of plug and black lead to a good ground
while key is still ON.
5. If voltage is between 7 and 14, turn key switch OFF
and connect an ohmmeter between terminals on
lock-off to check for continuity.
a. If there was no continuity between lock-off
terminals, replace lock-off valve.
b. If voltage was below 7, test wiring harness and
battery.
6. If voltage at plug was good, and there was continuity
across lock-off terminals, reconnect plug to lock-off ,
making sure you have a good connection. Turn on
key switch and listen for lock-off to activate.
a. If lock-off clicks, repeat steps 1 and 2 to verify
correct pressure.
b. If lock-off still does not operate, replace it.
