Product Description
?This genuine OEM part is designed for use with Kohler engines commonly installed on a variety of lawn and garden equipment. The purpose of this part is to mix air and gas before the fuel mix goes to the engine. If the engine won't start and the tank is full of fresh fuel, test the carburetor by removing the air filter and pouring about a teaspoon of fuel into the carburetor. Pull the starter rope. If the engine starts and then quickly dies, the carburetor is likely the problem. To complete this repair you would need a screwdriver and a wrench set. Note, the kit includes one durable metal body carburetor and two gaskets to ensure a tight fit.

Engine ran fine with starter fluid but would not start, hot or cold, even after carb cleaning
Jeffrey from Chester, Virginia
- Difficulty Level:
- Easy
- Total Repair Time:
- 15 - 30 mins
- Tools:
- Pliers, Socket set, Wrench set
1. Removed the starter (71\"Lbs)
2. Removed the engine housing
3. Clamped and disconnected the fuel line (Small amount of gas drained)
4. Removed the air filter housing and air filter
5. Removed the three carb retaining nuts (71\"Lbs)
6. Unplugged the spark plug
7. Removed the auto choke retaining nuts (No torque specs, just moderately tight)
8. Removed the choke torx screws (2)
9. Removed the diaphragm torx screws (2)
10. Removed the vacuum lines going to the carb/air cleaner housing
11. Completely removed the air cleaner housing
12. Completely removed the choke assembly
13. Completely removed the diaphragm assembly
14. Removed all linkages, used a small pair of needle nose on the throttle spring
15. Removed the old carb and gaskets
16. Pulled the old gas cap out of the tank (The fingers are plastic and will bend with a small amount of force)
17. Swapping old parts with new parts, assemble by reversing disassembly steps. Ensure you put in the two new carb gaskets and torque everything as documented by Kohler
By about halfway through a starter pull, the engine was running. It had not started that fast since it was new, and ran like new once re-assembled. You can probably cut the expense by a third if you just replace the carburetor, but I wanted a like new machine starting over again for at least 4 years. Pay close attention to fuel stabilizers and emptying the tank at year end. These things gum way too quickly with modern fuels. I never did figure out what I missed cleaning the original carb
would not run.
