I have a 2016 Hustler Raptor SD with the Kohler engine with a smart choke on it that keeps sticking. It's been back to the dealer for warranty twice and I am done screwing with it. Is there a way to replace that piece of garbage with a normal manual choke cable?

Model number off the engine to tell if it is possible.

It's the 25hp 7000 series, the sticker on the engine says:
SPEC No.
KT740-3042
Serial No.

Kohler has service manuals for down load. Follow the instructions for replacing the autochoke. Stop after removal. Good thing is they really did not change anything except add auto choke. So just get a choke cable and attach it where you take the auto choke connection off and you will be good to go.

Hi Rob,
I was curious if you did the choke conversion and if it improved operation.
