Kohler Courage 20 sv710 750cc
bear with me.. I'm not a lawn mower mechanic by any means (diesel mechanic by trade) but my toro has been giving me problems non stop all year. Started with barley wanting to stay running, i changed the carb, fuel pump, fuel lines and service it. After that it would still hardly run, it would run for 10 seconds then die. Fuel filters full of fuel as well as carb. Tried adjusting carb to no luck. Out of curiosity of how the rockers looked i pulled valve cover and ended up adjusting valves. Let silicone sit for a few days and started up mower and ran great! For 20 ish minutes then started to surge alittle at high idle. Shut mower off at 30 minutes then went and mowed lawn. Entire time while mowing it would surge every 5 seconds and almost die. Finished up brought into shop and it died right when i parked it. The battery was weak so i replaced that as well. Now back to square one, it will fire for a quick quick second and shut off. Usually have to have the choke on.
Any ideas? I appreciate in input!
