Please post your engine's spec numbers.

95% of Kohler Command engines have the solenoid mounted on the starter. From the OP original post, my bet is that the plunger contacts are burned. As said earlier, it would be cheaper to purchase a new starter than just the solenoid. Cheapest way would be to have the starter rebuilt, if you have someone in your are who does that. Before you order anew starter through Kohler, check in your area for an auto parts store which handles Denso or Wilson starters. They may be able to get it cheaper for you.

I must be the lucky one that got all of the 5%

If its the type of solenoid that go's on the starter I recall on the older cars you could take them apart and clean the contacts. It just seems they make everything now days so you have to replace everthing

If the solenoid is fitted has part of the starter on a "Kohler Command 15HP M#CV15S" what more info does one need to be able to take it apart and hope to fix it, fit a new solenoid or just go for a new starter.

With the spec number, one can give an intelligent response. Some of these commands had Smartspark, different starters, and some had adjustable valves.

With the spec number one can look up their engine and "KNOW" what they have!!!

Trying to help folks fix their engines is hard enough, but to have the techs pissing on each other's tires in some silly testosterone deathmatch, makes it
almost impossible.

Did you try jumper cables on the battery?
I know you said the battery is good.
Most times when it buzzes or clicks multiple times it is a weak battery or a loose connection. Check and make sure everything is tight and clean.
