What to do if Kohler Command Pro CV224 Engine starts but does not keep running?

  turnermadisonAug 13, 2025
  If your Kohler Engine starts but doesn't keep running, the issue could stem from a few potential causes. A faulty carburetor could be the culprit, so consider repairing or replacing it. Inspect the fuel pump and vacuum hoses for any clogs or leaks. Also, a restricted fuel tank cap vent can cause this problem, so clear any obstructions. Check for intake system leaks and repair them. Loose wires or connections intermittently grounding the ignition kill circuit could also be responsible; check and secure these. Ensure the quality of the fuel is good; replace it if it's old or contaminated. Additionally, a faulty cylinder head gasket could be the reason, requiring replacement. Finally, check and properly adjust the choke or throttle controls.
