In a previous post I asked for and received help on locating the regulator/rectifier for my Kohler engine (MODEL: KT730, SPEC NO. KT730-3012). I found that the alternator/stator was generating (at the plug) a maximum of 44 volts AC. But the regulator/rectifier was not outputting 12V DC.
The defective regulator/rectifier had the number 25 403 35 1916 which I was NOT able to find on the internet anywhere.
After some time, on kohlerenginesparts.com I was able to locate the schematic for the part with the following information: 25 403 35-S REGULATOR/RECTIFIER 12/15A HALF-WAVE STD $12.40. I was then able to locate this part in one of two offerings on eBay.
All of this prompts several questions.
1. Why are there so many different regulators/rectifiers for Kohler engines?
2. Why does Kohler make so many different engines within the same horsepower rating?
3. Why does the kohlerenginesparts.com NOT allow new users? They only allow for “Existing users.” I’m under the impression that it may be only for dealers. See attached screenshot.
My particular engine appears to be some type of odd-lot; otherwise, why the difficulty in locating such a common part?
