kohler

Kohler engines and Kohler Power Systems has been rebranded with the name Rehlko pronounced REL-co.

Craftsman T2400 Kohler engine (24 hrs on the guage) purchased from Lowes May 2022. It has been doing great. Wife can never remember to choke before cranking OR to take it off choke once it is cranked. Yesterday she jumped on the tractor, cranked it up and took off with the choke engaged. I...

Have a 2016 Dixie Chopper Classic with a Kohler ECV870-3013 and it has an odd issue. It starts fine and runs good for about 2-3 minutes then gets weak RPM drops from 3300 to 26-2800 and exhaust smells rich. Shut it off, restart it and runs good for 2-3 minutes rinse repeat. Check the primary...

My 2002 16hp Kohler 2166 Cub Cadet with only 200 hrs. on it is now stalling after starting ,running and mowing fine for maybe 5-10 mins. then it sputters and quits running. After it cools off and sets for a while, it fires right up runs and mows great then sputters and quits again. Plenty of...

I have a 2006 Cub Cadet LT1050 with a Kohler Courage 23 with 350hrs. Two weeks ago i performed my annual maintenance. I changed the air filter, fuel filter, installed new correctly gapped plugs, change the oil and oil filter and sharpened the blades. After performing this work i cut my lawn and...

Guy, got quite a problem brewing here with the daughter-in-laws' JD Z520A. Dealer 'worked' on it last year to the tune of ~$1100. Long story short, somehow oil leaked out of engine & she blew up. Dealer steps up & puts in a new engine. Only problem is, the holes to mount the engine don't align...

Can't figure out why this carb is leaking. It's my newest one so everything looks new but it leaks from the front out of the main jet. The little rubber stopper valve is a soft rubber I think works against me blowing into it. Any ideas?

The short video attached should explain it better than I can. Essentially I'm not getting 12v to my fuel shutoff solenoid unless I unplug the 12 volt lead to my DSAM. One thing to note in addition to what I mentioned in the video about unplugging the other leads to see if anything changed...

So here It goes, I bought a Craftsman DGT6000 (1998) with the 27 HP Kohler Command Pro V-Twin a month ago knowing It had some Issues. It started and drove when I went to look at It and the engine sounded good so I bought It. Got It home and started messing with It and found It burned oil bad...

Kohler on Grasshopper 225V,2018, we bought this mower used at an estate sale about a year ago with less than 700 hours and were told it had just been serviced! I put about 200 hours on it and decided to change oil and filter, used all Kohler parts machine ran great for about 4 hours, yesterday...

Kohler SV540S will turn but not run,changed everything new, head gasket, lapped the valves and gapped, carburetor,air filter,fuel filter,still not run. Shows 65 psi compression. Could it be timing problem.Have not opened engine itself. What else should I check.It was warm then suddenly stops at...

Hi all, I have a Cub Cadet rider with the above engine. I removed the rocker arms to address another issue. Now the engine will start but as soon as the lifters pressurize, I lose compression (holding the intake valve open). After the engine sits it'll start but same issue. Rocker stud adjusted...

this is the second time i have had to replace this flywheel ! the first time was in 2015 and the magnets were destroyed a lone with the stator. kohler said they were having trouble with there glue. this time the magnets just came off and were stuck to the stator . i believe it has a 25 amp...

No spark on cyl 1. Have power to coil and continuity from pin 22 on the ECU connector to coil connection/trigger wire. ECU is bad? And it's discontinued. Spark was intermittent before it finally died.

I goofed while I was tinkering with the engine control and took off the springs without a picture, rookie move, I know. I can't seem to find a picture of video anywhere on the internet that would give me some direction. I see diagrams online but they aren't helpful. Does anyone have a picture...

Bought a craftsman dgs6500 with a kohler sv735 vtwin engine for $300. Previous owner replaced the head gaskets and couldn't get it started or something? This was a few months ago before all the snow here in oregon. Got it running...BARELY. Was smoking bad when running (Major disappointment #1)...

So I have no need to adjust these until I started get the hard to crank issue. Knowing this is likely the valve adjustment, I got in there and there is no lock/jam nut. How do you adjust these and then not have it back itself off?

Bought an CC XT3 GSX in 20018. 6 Years later she's using oil. About 1qt/hour (mowing session, we are on 3 acres). I checked in the Spring and a replacement Kohler was just shy of $ 3K. But I like Kawas better, so is there a drop-in replacement? Anybody tried? {PS: NOT impressed with MTD/CC. Best...

I bought a Craftsman T7400 with a Kohler KT735 (140 hours) V-Twin. Runs great no problems and only 140 hours. I also have a Craftsman YT4500 with a Kohler SV735(350 hours) that’s got Terrible rod knock. The engines look identical down to the valve covers but with a different engine shroud. My...

I have a Hustler 927806 with a Kohler CV740 engine. I bought this mower used and have been restoring it and now that I have it running, there is a problem with it running rough under load. It runs fine with full throttle and no load, but if I put some load on it such as blades engaged and going...

Greetings and thanks As the mower warms up...it will get to a place where the left handle will need to be pushed forward past the right handle making them out of balance and eventually it begins to make a whining noise and just does not really want to work. If I go very slow I don't really...

Need a new muffler on my Wheelhorse Toro 520xi with a Kohler Ch20. Have parts diagrams for everything except muffler and heat shield. Where do I find the correct muffler for this engine? Also where best to buy?

The engine I was working on is a Kohler Command CV22S. It is a 2001 and running great. I had just changed the oil and was test running the engine. During the checking of the oil level I noticed that it was a little foamy. That should have set off an alert. I continued noting that the oil...

Hello all, I'm working on an old (2009) Bad Boy Pro 27 with a Kohler 27 hp. I did a longblock swap using a used longblock and the original accessories including charging system etc. Mower preformed perfectly for several hours then began blowing the main fuse. I traced the issue back to the...

Cub XT1 LT46 Mfg 08/22/2018 Model KT725-3078 After running for a short time (5-10 minutes) engine bogs down and dies. Doesn't matter if it is under load or not. I have found I can get it to re-start by spraying some carb cleaner followed by starting fluid directly into the carb but it dies...

Hello All, I picked up an abandon Troy-Bilt Horse riding lawn mower with a Kohler Courage sv720 v-twin 23 hp engine. In an effort to get it running I did a cylinder leak down test, adjusted the valves, replaced one ignition module, changed the oil and oil filter, fresh air cleaner, fresh fuel...

I have a Kohler command pro CV730S. It is burping back the carb (puffs of gas vapor coming out the carb) at idle. Seems like a valve problem but it is supposed to be hydraulic valve lifters. No adjustment. loses power under load in heavy grass and uphill. But not every time. I did a governor...

What I have here is a Kohler Sv735 V-twin and at low idle it has a very loud knocking sound to it, very audible from behind the engine. Full throttle and it goes away a little bit but you can still hear it, just not as clearly. (I have had one of these engines before and for those asking "why...

Battery pushing 12.56amps. With the meter I see 12.56 also at the first post of the solenoid with no key in ignition. I have continuity throughout. Installed new solenoid, new ignition switch. Still getting nothing. No click. Double-checked the ground on the solenoid. 4 post solenoid. Two small...

A friend has a Kohler SV600S motor that starts and dies after about 5 seconds. He has cleaned out fuel tank, changed gas lines, fuel pump, coil, spark plug wire, spark plug and carburetor with no good results. Anyone have any ideas I’d really appreciate it.

Can anyone tell me whether this control module has been superseded to the 24 584 58-S? I have a Dixie Chopper XW2600..I foolishly jumped started the mower to get the workday completed (thought the battery had depleted)...The mower now has no power light/power at the switch. I can hotwire the...

Hi All! I long-term loaned my Wacker VPG160 Vibraplate compactor to a relative. One day, the Kohler engine would not start when he was on a project. As a "favor" he swapped the engine for I think a Predator or some other Made In China engine. (Whatever he could get quickly) The Kohler used to...

motor turns over, getting fuel but no spark

Hi, I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have for the following problem. About 15 minutes into the first cut of this spring, my mom's Husqvarna lawn tractor with KT725 engine suddenly started "cycling" like somebody was pushing the throttle back and forth about once per second (see video...

Has anybody put the Command Twin solenoid shift starter on a Courage twin in place of the inertial drive starter. BIL Cub Cadet snapped the starter shaft while trying to start the mower for an oil change the other day. Was thinking about doing the upgrade if it will fit.

I am doing a tune up on the 2011 Troy Bilt riding mower/tractor. It dues not appear to have an impulse fuel pump or at least I have not found it. One was sent in my parts kit. Should I go ahead and install? Excuse my ignorance but the smallest tractor I have is a Ford 4610SU with 56...

i have a hustler raptor with a kohler 7000 series engine..in my air filter housing i can smell gas..the filter looks like gas has got on it too..im trying to determine if this is a carb problem which i am thinking it is or something else..the mower runs fine and does not smoke..any help will be...

Ok so I screwed up. My PTO clutch wasn't getting 12v to close and get the deck on so I said screw it, found 12v and a ground, ran it through a switch and it turns out the ground I used was the wire going to both coil packs. Long story short, I fried both coil packs, so I replaced them (and...

What do you think?

my spartan RT Pro with kohler kt745 will not crank with both kill wires attached. I can disconnect either one and it cranks and runs but only firing on cylinder with kill wire disconnected. I can disconnect both and it turms over but does not crank. As soon as I plug the other kill wire it dies...

Well I needed a mower in a hurry and ended up with this well-used Scotts rider. Question 1 Can't find an owners manual anywhere! My research indicates this mower was made by Murray. Is that correct? If so I wonder if there is Murray wth the same specs as the Scotts mower. If I can't find a...

Have an issue with no spark on my 22 hp 7000 KT725-3012. When cranking the spark plugs are not firing. When key released will see a quick flash on the plug tester indicating power to plugs. Whatever is inhibiting the spark during the crank process is released for a second when key is released...

I've had this mower since new. Great machine. Only problem was the "Smart" choke. Plastic broke off of it. I put choke cable. Works great. I have a problem now that when I turn the key sometimes it just turns the flywheel 1/4 or 1/2 turn and stops and sometimes it starts. So far it's started...

Morning, I'm close to having this machine all back together but I cannot figure out what is missing with the throttle adjustment. I can choke it to start manually as well as use the throttle cable but when I adjust the throttle the engine does not go to idle or rev up accordingly. Any help is...

Does anyone know how to access the fuel idle adjustment screw? The carb has three covered access ports on the top rear throat which on some other similar carbs have a lean/rich adjustment screw. I can drill and remove the factory plug but I am not sure which of the three in a row plugs covers...

Was mowing lot next door and suddenly the motor just starts racing. I shut it down and it took a while to shut off. I started back up but the motor is still racing at top speed pretty much no matter what position throttle cable is in. Throttle cable seems to be operating properly. It's...

I have a Kohler engine KT725-3031 that I can't get to run. I've replaced the fuel pump and carburetor and it will only run with carburetor cleaner for just a second. Fuel is getting to the carburetor, at least to fuel filter. It has a thermostat assembly 32 755 27-s that attaches to the side...

I have a John Deere L130 that I used last week. Went to start it today and it will not crank. As I am trying to track electrical problems, I found a paired ground wire set that runs to a connector that isn't connected to anything. It comes out near the starter/solenoid, but there doesn't seem to...

i changed my oil and when i went to take the oil filter off it seemed like there was a little gas in the filter..the mower runs good with no smoke..i have a possible stuck float needle or could it possibly be the fuel pump..im trying to get the money to get it looked at but cant right now..just...

Kohler XT6.75 PN: PH-XT675-2044 SN:4334903388 HUAYI Corp Carb # 1405368 I've been searching for a Carb kit for this engine and none available. All I require is the 2 o-rings that are on the Pilot jet. Does one of you wizards know the size of these o-rings or could I purchase o-rings for...

Does anyone have and can post the Kohler training bulletin showing costs and locations? Thank you

I am working on a 1987 Ex mark 32 inch walk behind commercial mower. It is a model number 32-12.5kd5. The Koehler engine number is illegible. I can read a Spec of 7275. 390 cc and a serial number 2611504544. Anyway it is a pull start and starter would not pull. I took the starter off and...

I believe it's a 2018 if it matters. From zero throttle to half throttle the engine is at idle at about 1600 RPMs. From half throttle to Full Throttle the RPMs increase to about 2600 Rpms (sitting still, pto not engaged). What should I be expecting on this mower? I feel like the throttle lever /...

We have a Gravely ZT 52 zero turn mower we got for cheap. The previous owner "hit something" with it and it died. He then dragged it to the garage. Hydro uniits are free but the motor is definitely locked up. Are these motors relatively easy and economical to rebuild or is it better to just buy...

My brother in law has a Scag Liberty Z with a Kohler KT725 engine and it won't start sometimes. Battery is fine, checked all safety switches and seat and brake switches and they're testing ok but the engine won't try to start with the key ignition. You can hear the fuel Solenoid click when you...

New to forum. Have a 72" Hustler X-One with the Kohler Engine. Is there an economical way to get a diagnostic tool to see what is ailing it? Developed ratty running, changed all filters, plugs etc. Still doing it, gets worse as motor heats up

I have a Hustler 927806 with a Kohler CV740 engine. I bought this mower used and have been restoring it and now that I have it running, there is a problem with it running rough under load. It runs fine with full throttle and no load, but if I put some load on it such as blades engaged and going...

So long story short I bought a 2003 Craftsman DGT6000 with a 27 HP Kohler Pro. Replaced both head gaskets and rebuilt the carb. Been In the shed for a week and today I went to blow the leaves into a pile and It didn't like it. It will run completely fine just driving around or even sitting still...

I'm looking for a muffler for my ZTH6127 mower.

My old Kubota with the 15 hp Kohler became almost impossible to start. For a year we struggled with getting it to fire strong enough to overcome the compression release. Once running it was powerful and ran normally. Then, getting it ready for this summer's mowing I could not get it to start...

I currently have the displeasure of working on a Toro 522xi with a Kohler CH22 engine. While doing service on it I noticed it has a very small headgasket leak starting on the right side cylinder head. (The one with the oil fill port). It's a little hard to say but does this engine need to be...

Hi, Does anyone know where to get the male mating connector to plug into the wire harness on a Kohler CV23 engine? Part numbers and manufacturer wouldn be greatly appreciated Thanks, Carey
