Storage

If the engine will be out of service 30 days or more, use

the following storage procedure:

1. Clean the exterior surfaces of the engine. Avoid

spraying water at the wiring harness or any of

the electrical components.

2. Change the oil and filter while the engine is still

warm from operation. See Change Oil and

Change Oil Filter on pages 9 and 10.

3. The fuel system must be completely emptied, or

the gasoline must be treated with a stabilizer to

prevent deterioration. If you choose to use a

stabilizer, follow the manufacturer’s

recommendations, and add the correct amount

for the capacity of the fuel system. Fill the fuel

tank with clean, fresh gasoline. Run the engine for

2-3 minutes to get stabilized fuel into the rest of

the system. Close fuel shut-off valve when unit is

being stored or transported.

To empty the system, run the engine until the

tank and fuel system are empty.

4. Remove the spark plugs. Add one tablespoon of

engine oil into each spark plug hole. Install the

plugs, but do not connect the plug leads. Crank

the engine two or three revolutions.

5. Store the engine in a clean, dry place.

Troubleshooting

When troubles occur, be sure to check the simple causes which, at first, may seem too obvious to be considered.

For example, a starting problem could be caused by an empty fuel tank. Some common causes of engine troubles

are listed in the following table.

Do not attempt to service or replace major engine components, or any items that require special timing or

adjustment procedures. Have your Kohler Engine Service Dealer do this work.

Parts Ordering

The engine Specification, Model, and Serial Numbers

are required when ordering replacement parts from

your Kohler Engine Service Dealer. These numbers are

found on the identification plate which is affixed to

the engine shrouding. Include letter suffixes if there

are any. See Engine Identification Numbers on page 5.

Always insist on genuine Kohler parts. All genuine Kohler

parts meet strict standards for fit, reliability, and

performance.

Service Manuals. This type of repair generally
