    Kohler ECV870 misfiring

    Have a 2016 Dixie Chopper Classic with a Kohler ECV870-3013 and it has an odd issue. It starts fine and runs good for about 2-3 minutes then gets weak RPM drops from 3300 to 26-2800 and exhaust smells rich. Shut it off, restart it and runs good for 2-3 minutes rinse repeat. Check the primary...

    Kohler Xt675 carb leaking out of the throat

    Can't figure out why this carb is leaking. It's my newest one so everything looks new but it leaks from the front out of the main jet. The little rubber stopper valve is a soft rubber I think works against me blowing into it. Any ideas?

    Kohler SV735 DSAM Bad??

    The short video attached should explain it better than I can. Essentially I'm not getting 12v to my fuel shutoff solenoid unless I unplug the 12 volt lead to my DSAM. One thing to note in addition to what I mentioned in the video about unplugging the other leads to see if anything changed...

    Kohler Courage SV730s Engine Control Picture

    I goofed while I was tinkering with the engine control and took off the springs without a picture, rookie move, I know. I can't seem to find a picture of video anywhere on the internet that would give me some direction. I see diagrams online but they aren't helpful. Does anyone have a picture...

    Hello all, I'm working on an old (2009) Bad Boy Pro 27 with a Kohler 27 hp. I did a longblock swap using a used longblock and the original accessories including charging system etc. Mower preformed perfectly for several hours then began blowing the main fuse. I traced the issue back to the...

    I am doing a tune up on the 2011 Troy Bilt riding mower/tractor. It dues not appear to have an impulse fuel pump or at least I have not found it. One was sent in my parts kit. Should I go ahead and install? Excuse my ignorance but the smallest tractor I have is a Ford 4610SU with 56...

    SV740 Starter

    Has anybody put the Command Twin solenoid shift starter on a Courage twin in place of the inertial drive starter. BIL Cub Cadet snapped the starter shaft while trying to start the mower for an oil change the other day. Was thinking about doing the upgrade if it will fit.

    I've had this mower since new. Great machine. Only problem was the "Smart" choke. Plastic broke off of it. I put choke cable. Works great. I have a problem now that when I turn the key sometimes it just turns the flywheel 1/4 or 1/2 turn and stops and sometimes it starts. So far it's started...

    Well I needed a mower in a hurry and ended up with this well-used Scotts rider. Question 1 Can't find an owners manual anywhere! My research indicates this mower was made by Murray. Is that correct? If so I wonder if there is Murray wth the same specs as the Scotts mower. If I can't find a...

    Morning, I'm close to having this machine all back together but I cannot figure out what is missing with the throttle adjustment.

    Ariens Ikon X 52 w/22hp Kohler Courage - Rpms?

    I believe it's a 2018 if it matters. From zero throttle to half throttle the engine is at idle at about 1600 RPMs. From half throttle to Full Throttle the RPMs increase to about 2600 Rpms (sitting still, pto not engaged). What should I be expecting on this mower? I feel like the throttle lever /...

    CHECK THE SPECIFICATIONS

    My old Kubota with the 15 hp Kohler became almost impossible to start. For a year we struggled with getting it to fire strong enough to overcome the compression release. Once running it was powerful and ran normally. Then, getting it ready for this summer's mowing I could not get it to start...
