kohler

G’day all, New here, from the Northern Rivers in NSW. I fix mowers and small engines for people around the area, and I’ve ended up on a job that’s got me scratching my head a bit, so figured it was time to join. It’s a Toro TimeCutter zero turn with a Kohler 7000 KT725 (spec PS-KT725-3102)...

Evening all. New to the forum. Working on an 06 lazer z with the EFI CH26s Kohler engine. This mower is taking years off my life and graying my hair at a rapid rate. Machine will run fine Cold, but as soon as it warms up it starts to cough, sputter, stall, and essentially fall flat on its face...

Need someon who can rebuild my KohlerM18 twin. Needs rings and valves laped any suggestions would be appreciated live Connecticut.

Need help or advice. Kohler CH26 is backfiring and bogging down/losing power. Here’s what I’ve done so far. -Drained old fuel out of tanks and replace with new fuel -Replaced fuel filter -Replaced spark plugs -Verified fuel pressure is @39psi -About to replace ignition coils when they arrive...

My Cub Cadet riding mower with a Kohler KT730 engine cranks but won't start. It's barely a year old (48hrs on it) & ran it to mulch leaves 4-6 weeks ago. Plugs look good & tested it has spark. If I pour a little gas in the carb, it starts right up for a couple seconds, proving good spark &...

Want new Husqvarna (dealer & service center nearby) but most have Kawasaki engines. I know of problems with those in distant past, but how are the newer models holding up? Anyone having problems with later model Kawasaki engines?

M#: PS-SV720-3049 Considering the OEM carburetor on this motor is a** r***** high I'm looking for a cheaper alternative. I've changed it once using a knockoff carburetor but it's been problems from the start. I'm looking for a good cheaper aftermarket alternative. Can anybody recommend an...

As the title suggests, when I changed the oil on my Toro Titan at the end of this past summer, what came out of the engine was extremely dark. I completely understand that oil can and will darken over time, especially under certain operating conditions, but, I am inclined to believe that what I...

I've got a Kohler KT735 V-Twin engine here, and it just keeps flooding. The first and only planned repair was to replace the head gasket, it had blown and I always wondered what that hissing sound was when it was cranking before I found it. It was blowing to the outside, if that matters. Anyway...

Placed an order for a Kohler CH670 air-filter on Amazon , I received a Service kit for a Husqvarna They want me to pay for the return postage , that will cost more than my initial order and is never going to happen Told them to send me a return pre-paid parcel Will see what response I get

My mower loses power when I switch on the pto. when I cut sort of heavy grass the mower bogs down, like the governor is not switching on. I checked the governor and and checked the adjustment, but I see nothing not working. I was wondering if I cann just hook the throttle to the carb and...

My brother tasked me with fixing his Husqvarna. It knocks crazy loud when running. Not much on YouTube other than checking and tightening the bolts to the frame. It's tight to the frame. The block is not cracked so I'm hoping to get it quiet and back to him. Any suggestions other than a teardown...

I am looking at a neighbors John Deere L130 It has a Koehler CV23S 75569 engine a V Twin style and according to the tag on the blower housing in was made April 13 2004. What I found was the engine would not start l sprayed some starter fluid into the carb got it to run. I found it was very...

I need a wiring harness for a Kohler CH20. Have searched extensively online and not found one. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Engine: ZT740-3048. Please, looking for help or input with above stated issue. I purchased a 2020 Maverick in a box so to speak that has potential I believe. In what I would call it very clean condition, however! Kohler powered with a sheared off Crankshaft key-way broken out right where the...

I have a Kohler command twin cylinder engine on leaf vacuum. checking for leave season, I note at full throttle , I only have 12.25 volts dc. Checked stator voltage which was 40 volts ac. Checked continuity for battery wire from regulator to battery, is ok. I replaced regulator, no...

My throttle does no engine speed change from idle to full throttle. The governor is set okay, the throttle cable moves the throttle linkage on the carb from idle to full. I can move the governor lever and the engine will speed up and slow down, but the throttle lever fails to make a change in...

Hi I have a Cub cadet xt1 lt 42” with a Kohler ks540 engine. When I cleaned the outer engine with carb cleaner I sprayed a little at the air filter intake and now it doesn’t run right. Keeps running really rough even after it should have cleared out the carb cleaner. Did I really screw it up or...

Looking where to buy a used 18 hp kohler motor. On my cub cadet snow blower tractor. Preferably in 518 area. Thank you for any help!

I have owned this 62" mower for 20 years. Suddenly, the fuel filter is empty and the mower shuts down - as if I turned the key off. Let it set and the fuel filter {Vacuum} refills to 50 to 75% with the mower off. Restart and it may run for 30 minutes or 2 or 3 hours (it decides). Here is...

This engine Kohler15.5 HP has a lot of vibration on idle and even running full speed with mowing. Wondering what to check out on it? Lots of power starts fine and is mowing fine just worried with the vibration. Engine is tight on frame and just don't know that to do next?? thanks for any help...

I recently acquired a Garage Queen Craftsman 54" cut lawn mower with a Kohler 36 hp motor. I really haven't had the time to really get into why it runs like it does. I though I would come on here and see if anyone had any similar experiencs and migh be able to guide me where to start. I have...

Hey guys, I was given an older craftsman riding mower with a Kohler Command CV15S engine. It ran when I got it but it does not now. While it was still running I replaced the air filter and fuel filter. The new air filter is a bit bigger than the old one but I didn't think that would make...

I have a 2005 Kohler Command CH22 horizontal shaft engine. I'm trying to remove the blower housing. I got out the bolts I could find and the upper part of it is loose, but the bottom half is still attached somehow and I can't find what's holding it on. I had the blower housing off about 15 years...

I recently changed both coil modules and notice on the right side a green wire connector. Can someone tell me where this goes or where connected to. I don't see anywhere missing connection.

I am once again looking at log splitters in the 25-ton range. The few I'm looking at come with the engines mentioned in the title. I'm sure the exact engine models would help, but I don't have that info. Are Briggs engines still okay??? I've read some things over the few years that make me...

I am replacing armature on a kohler starter 2009811-s and I am having trouble holding the 4 brushes in so I can put the armature in the end piece. How do they do that thanks.

have a cub cadet zt1 model 17areacsa10 with kohler kt725-3083, the fuel tank had water in it owner drained and flushed but only runs for less than a second. replaced fuel filter. cleaned carburetor, solenoid tested good have 12 volts going to solenoid, still only runs for less than a second...

Working on a Kubota ZTR with a Kohler CV682 3024. Engine starts right up and runs good for about 5-10 minutes. Then will shudder and die. Let sit for about 10 minutes, same exact thing. Good compression on both cyls. Plugs weren't bad but I changed anyway (they had 100 hours on them). I verified...

My mower has been starting intermittently and I believe the fuel shut off was the culprit. I removed it and cleaned it and the mower fired up and I can hear the shut off clicking again. Mowed for about five minutes and the carb flooded and now the oil is full of gas. Can someone help point me...

I've spent over an hour looking trying to find out if the crankshaft seals are the same part # for both front & back; all I can find just talk about the output end and not the flywheel end. Output end seal is pt # 25 032 06S. Does anyone out there know if both seals are the same. Thanks!

Beware of these engines, especially used. Kohler only showed they had the "courage" to build them to self-destruct. Valve cover leaks. The top cover bolts under the flywheel fan shroud loosen at under 100 hours on average. Some break off while other will contact the flywheel bottom side while...

Troy-Bilt Horse XP/Kohler Courage SV-601 I'm nearly at the end of this DIY repair, thank goodness. I cranked it up today and am hearing a sound I don't recognize, but I do have a habit of after any repair, seizing on a particular thing (sound/vibration/behavior) that I'd just never noticed...

I have a Toro commercial mower 74180 and went to change the spark plugs. The rear plug was annoying enough because I had to remove the battery to get clearance to get it out, and the front is worse. I was able to pull the front plug, but could not thread the front plug to tighten it...

So. I have a Craftsman Riding mower and its rear differential won't unlock and I need to move it from where it currently is. But the rear differential will NOT unlock at all! it shifts and the neutral lock moves but doesn't work. Please help me quickly. Thank you!

My cub was having issues last winter, gas ran in to the crank. That has been fixed. Shut off valve added to prevent a repeat. Carb rebuilt too. Next issue is the engine speed and lack of power. I bought a cheap electronic tachometer so I could monitor the engine speed. My original manual...

Suddenly, my Kohler Courage 20HP (TroyBilt) is running flat out, revving well above its usual highest RPM. The throttle control has no effect and the throttle linkage on top of the carb (circled in red on drawing) seems to be frozen and will not move/pivot either by hand or with the throttle...

Cub SLTX 1054 Kohler Courage 26 725cc This season, it has really been hurting. Last time out, 2 weeks ago, it was doing ok. Takes a few min before it wants to start. Once started, after a couple min, with PTO engaged, it will really struggle. The engine literally feels like it’s going to...

Strange problem, the oil seal on the crankshaft blew out and covered the belts on a Grasshopper 220 with oil so bad it quit moving. I thought no big problem just a seal. But now no oil pressure and it's full of oil. Removed the oil pressure sender for the light to make sure and nothing. So...

I have a mid-90's Woods 6200 zero turn that has run fine since I bought it three years ago. After sitting all winter, it refused to start this spring. I have pretty much run out of ideas as to what to check/replace next. Symptoms haven't changed from when I started troubleshooting and replacing...

hey guys. losing power after a few minutes if mowing. stop and wait, runs good for a few minutes then bigs back down. changed injectors, coils, clutch, good compression, battery good. can't figure it out. any ideas. thank you

I am trying to figure out site... bear with me, please. If I put choke on 1/2 I can keep it running but poorly. I replaced carb no change. Acts like a vacuum leak and way too lean, but cant find it using carb cleaner. Any Ideas? Thanks Greg

Rest of the mower is great. New or used if I do it? Where do I get the mower?

Hi All , First off: Kohler CV675S Spec 75544 Serial 3130209491 Mounted on Craftsman GT 3000. After 23 years, It blew a head gasket. What I’m looking for is part numbers for the current Head gasket kit with all other associated gaskets. If I’m doing one, I’m going to do both. Also, it has...

Hi All, Machine was running rough and when I dug in under plastic engine cover I noticed a boomerang shaped arm between the throttle and choke control doors was un-connected on the throttle end; (see first pic). A small brass-capped retaining pin was missing; (see arrow pointing to this in...

A neighbor asked me for help to replacing a new Kohler CV742 engine on his John Deere ZT 270A mower since the old engine was blown. He removed the old engine by himself without my help. Once we had replaced the blown engine with the new Kohler CV742 engine and using the electrical diagram on the...
