If it takes 30 minutes for the fuse to blow, it would be doubtful it would be the stator in my opinion. When a stator shorts it typically blows a fuse as soon as the key is turned to the on position. Maybe after the stator warms and there is some expansion, the stator wire could theoretically...

Was it acting up? Unfortunately, I didn't catch anything that sounded all that unusual. Does it still smell like it's running rich? And sorry if I missed your answer to this but have you ever seen any black smoke from the exhaust? I also thought of another test involving the O2 sensor but it's...

It's good to do the TPS learn but not the end of the world if you don't. Any chance you could post a short video of it when it's misfiring?

What was the oil level after it seized? And how are you cleaning your filters? I was just curious about your actual method of cleaning the air filter.

For the average do-it-yourselfer, no question, EFI engines are harder to troubleshoot sometimes. The issues I would often run into trying to help techs troubleshoot EFI engines is, they seem to forget it's an engine. An engine comes in their shop lacking power and they immediately want to blame...

It if replaces the Kohler 12 707 01-S then it's what you need. Maybe there is more than one listing for that Stens part number but the one I found was way too expensive. The Amazon link ILENGINE provided had that actual Kohler part for $163.92. The Stens one I found was over $270.00. You can buy...

This is probably more info than you care to know but, all the small engine manufacturers got involved in the horsepower lawsuit one way or another. For some it was their own doing because they misrepresented the horsepower on their engines. Kohler pretty much told them to stick it and said feel...

You have a CV16-43527. There is no such thing as a CV16.5. That's a Craftsman marketing thing. Not a Kohler thing. If you're using Sears parts look-up, use their listing of the CV16.5 43527. It's the same thing. Sears actually got Kohler drug into a lawsuit because Sears decided to overstate the...

Due to poor management decisions, they lost most of the business from their best customer, Sears. Then they moved most of their production to Brazil. When you can't pay your bills in Brazil, they lock up your building and don't let you in until you pay. They couldn't pay.

What was the part number you used to replace the ignition module or coil? Also, the number you would be looking for on the Spark Advance module will begin, 12 584 XX. It is NLA but you might find new old stock somewhere. I didn't see ILENGINE's post about Amazon. That looks to be the best...

With the results you now have, it's probably not a relay. Normally only one went bad so if you wanted to try it, you could just get one and try it in each position. Like I mentioned, it wasn't unheard of for a Spark Advance Module or ignition module fail but it was pretty rare on a CV16. I've...

Disconnect the spark plug wire and see if the issue goes away. If it does then like DaveTN says, it could be the flywheel key. If the problem is still present, check the blade for looseness.

No hydraulic lifters on this one. They are solid. But valve lash isn't the issue.

This is from the Sear parts website. You can probably get a relay at a local parts store. Just make sure the terminals and in the same configuration and have the same numbers on each terminal.
