I just got in a TroyBilt in (13W093KP011) that has a Kohler KT736.
Customers complaint: Leaking oil and said the gas leaked out. All I've done so far, is pressure washed all the oil and dirt off it. And they're right, there's oil everywhere.
From about 1/2 way up the engine to the top of the deck. Some caked on like it's been there for a while. And some, especially on the deck and the PTO, was fresh. I'm just guessing, because I don't know much about Kohler's, but I'm assuming that there's a stuck needle in the carb. And a bad crank seal.
It has a fuel pump. And it would seem that the level of the fuel in the tank, is a little lower than the fuel pump. But about the same as the carb. That's just eyeballing it briefly.
This engine only has about 33 hrs on it. The customer says the warranty went out 2 months ago.
I'm posting this, for advise. Maybe some have seen this sort of problem before. And can make further diagnosis easy peasy.
