June 10th, 2017 at 9:37 pm   starstarstarstarstar      

Many of your outdoor power equipment tools are powered by a reliable Kohler engine. On the occasion you find your Kohler engine performing less than optimally, use our troubleshooting guide to diagnose the issue at home. If you need to lookup a replacement part or schedule service for your Kohler engine, contact one of our trained specialists. 

 

If your engine won't start at all, it may be that you have: 

  • no fuel or improper fuel
  • a contaminated fuel line (with dust or dirt)
  • incorrect oil level

I have a Kohler Command Pro 25 HP twin, Family 4KHXS, 7252GC Mod # CV730S....I just finished installing new blades, filters, spark plugs and deck wheels-plus complete grease & oil change.

 

Prior to this maintenance the engine was starting to exhaust white smoke excessively.  The tractor/engine has had loving care since new.  At 640 hours I would like to save the engine.  What would be the probable cause for the white smoke and oil consumption?  I do not want to start throwing parts at it.  I am suspisious of blown head gaskets....anyway to test???  Your thoughts???  Thanks in Advance!!

I have a Kohler command pro 13 on a log splitter. It sat unused for about 14 months. Ran great when I parked it.. went to fire it up the other day and nothing. Turn the key and it does nothing. It's like there's no battery connected kind of nothing. Brand new battery, starter, coil, solenoid and ignition all new... Still it does nothing. Any ideas?
