Why is my Kohler Engine knocking?
If your Kohler Engine is knocking, several factors could be the cause. Here's what to check: * Reduce excessive engine load. * Add oil to the appropriate level if the crankcase oil level is low. * Replace with fresh, clean fuel. * Use the correct oil viscosity/type. Additionally, investigate and remedy any internal wear or damage and replace the faulty hydraulic lifter.
Why is my Kohler Engine leaking oil from oil seals and gaskets?
If you notice oil leaks from the oil seals and gaskets of your Kohler Engine, the following could be the reasons: * Replace the broken breather reed. * Repair or replace the crankcase breather. * Clear the restricted exhaust. * Tighten fasteners to the correct torque. * Repair or replace the leaky components.
