I'll give it a shot

The issue started this summer. Since it first occurred I have rebuilt the carb, put on a new filter, cleaned the fuel tank, added a fuel stop ball valve, and new fuel lines. I was thinking it might have been because the fuel line was longer, so I shortened it, but that had no effect. It does...

Thanks, I'll give this a try.

I've done the troubleshooting aspect as far as I know. The tank was cleaned, carb rebuilt, and the hoses/and filter were replaced. I don't see how debris could be the issue. Is there a mod kit to shield the carb and lines?

Good suggestion, but fuel tank was cleaned. Do you recommend replacing the carb and solenoid?

I'm having the following issue. After I've been using the mower for 45 min or so, the mower starts sputtering and then quits. I noticed that the fuel filter is empty, and it appears that the carb is starved for fuel. I've seen a video online which lead me to believe it was getting vapor locked...

So let me give you all the final update. I ordered a replacement tecumsah coil. While I was waiting I thought I would try to drill out the Kohler replacement to make it fit. That was a BIG waste of time. I mangled the coil and ruined it. The one thing I realized was the the coil wire was much...

I should have done my research before buying this. I was in a hurry last year and just made sure it ran. I looked for oil leaks but didn't inspect the engine closely. The label on the mower said B&S 17.5 HP Intek and it was advertised as a 17.5 HP mower. I didn't know what to look for and didn't...

Thanks. Since the coil in the unit wasn't wired to the SAM in the first place, I just decided to go with another Tecumsah coil. It was cheaper than the time spent to replace the wire. I'll keep the old one as a spare. I'm keeping the rectifier though since I wasn't getting enough voltage to keep...

Ok, Thanks for all the suggestions.

There was nothing there, just a blank plate.

I agree about the direct battery voltage. There isn't any going to it the coil and there never was. I purchased a KH-25-755-03 replacement for the rectifier. The stator had 2 wires, Black and Yellow. I connected them to the outer connections of the rectifier. I connected my red power lead to the...

Not sure if you read thru from the start of the thread, but the LT1000 started life with a B&S 17.5 HP Intec. Somewhere along the line it was swapped with the Kohler. 1. The Speed advance module was never hooked to the coil. I don't know why. 2. I know. That was why I was wondering why they...

I really appreciate all of the back and forth. You both are really helping me sort this out. Let's take a step back one second so I can get my head around this. 1. How was the Digital Speed Advance module originally wired in from the manufacturer? I ask because it was only attached from the...

It didn't have genuine Kohler parts, hence the Tecumsah coil. Since I don't know what model this engine really is and what was changed, it is hard to determine what genuine parts I should get. It ran fine using the Tecumsah coil. The engine had the stator going to part 12 584 12 (see images). I...

My engine is missing the label plate. When I contacted Kohler, they guessed what I had based on the part numbers I could find on some of the components. I think StarTech was correct in that he thinks I have a CV-16. This is based on that the coil most resembles the techumsah coil that was...

The places I called wouldn't touch it since they couldn't identify the engine. So I'm on my own here. I think I'll drill out the Kohler coil I have to see if I can make it work. If not I'll just get another Tecumsah coil, since it was working with it. This whole process started when I found that...

Very interesting as that was not what Kohler listed as an engine option. They could have been very wrong. I don't remember the exhaust looking the way the parts diagrams show (I can't look right now). I see what you mean by the flywheel teeth and the magnet mounting. The coil that came out...

I wish I was. Then I'd know the history. I purchased the lawn tractor last year.

1. The coil that came out was a Tecumsah. 2. I'm replacing the coil because it is leaking spark from the wire. 3. I only mounted to show the gap. Yes it was mounted upside down. 4. There is nothing a shop will do differently. They will either use the Tecumsah, or modify a Kohler. I'm just trying...

It's the one on the left. I guess the question is, should I just buy another Tecumsah coil or drill out the holes on a Kohler to make it fit?

So here is something interesting. I got the numbers off of the coil that was in it: 1A138-52-12. This appears to be an ignition coil for a Tecumsah and not a kohler. Now I'm scratching my head. I know the engine is a Kohler in a Craftsman LT1000 that replaced a B&S 17.5 HP Intec engine. Should I...

Unfortunately I don't know the specs. There is no label plate on the engine. The best Kohler could tell me is that it is either a CV13 or CV15 based on the carburetor.

I have a CV-15 with a 12 584 04-S ignition coil. I've purchased 3 replacements but none of them mount so I can set a gapping of the width of a business card. All of the replacements end up with a gap of about 2 to 3 tenths of an inch (I didn't measure, just a guestimate). Is this something I...

Thank You! I appreciate the fast response.

The gods are conspiring against me. The label is mangled. It is a green mower built before 2006. The model # is: 917-272761. the only thing I can get from the serial number is the first number and the last 6: 0xxxxxxxxx003016

I appreciate the input, but I'm still looking for an answer to the following. The old box type rectifier had 2 outputs, White and Red. The red was the rectified output and went to the power side (blue wire). The white went to the orange side, which I believe is the accessory side. The new...

I have a Craftsman LT1000 that originally came with a B&S Intek 17.5 HP engine. Sometime in its life that engine was replaced with a Kohler Command. The label is missing so I contacted Kohler. We were able to narrow it down to either a CV1321533 or CV1541537. Not that this makes any difference...
