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.
I have searched everywhere but cannot find a low oil pressure switch. I have found that the new fuel pump isn’t pumping. It’s vacuum operated fuel pump so gonna check vacuum where it comes out of the motor.

Check for battery voltage to the solenoid on the carb with the key turned to the on/run position. Not all of the Courage single cylinder engines had oil pressure switches so that could be why you're not finding one. It sounds to me like you might be getting voltage to the fuel solenoid with the key in the start/crank position but not in the on/run position.
You could try unplugging the fuel solenoid and run a fused jump wire from the short wire coming off the solenoid to positive terminal of the battery. If the solenoid isn't getting power from its designed source this will bypass that and should run.
