How to fix a Kohler Command PRO ECH630 Crankshaft when it cranks but won't start?
If your Kohler Crankshaft engine cranks but doesn't start, several factors could be at play. Start by checking the basics: ensure your fuel tank isn't empty and the fuel shut-off valve is open. Poor fuel quality, or dirt in the fuel system can also prevent starting, so check and replace the fuel if needed. Other potential causes include disconnected spark plug leads (reconnect them), a key or kill switch in the OFF position (set it to ON), or faulty spark plugs or ignition coils (replace if faulty). Also, a malfunctioning vacuum fuel pump or a leaking vacuum hose to the fuel pump could be the culprit; repair or replace these components as necessary. Moreover, verify that the battery is correctly connected, the safety interlock system is disengaged, and the fuse isn't blown. In some cases, ...
What to do if my Kohler Command PRO ECH630 Crankshaft engine starts but immediately dies?
If your Kohler Crankshaft engine starts but doesn't keep running, there are several possible causes. A restricted fuel tank cap vent can cause this issue; clear the vent to resolve it. Poor fuel quality, or dirt in the fuel system can also cause the engine to stall; check and replace the fuel as needed. Check also the throttle controls, as they may be faulty or improperly adjusted; adjust or replace them. Inspect for loose wires or connections and secure them. Other potential causes include a faulty cylinder head gasket (replace it), a malfunctioning vacuum fuel pump or a leaking vacuum hose to the fuel pump (repair or replace these components), or an intake system leak (repair the leak). Additionally, faulty ignition coils, a blown fuse, or insufficient voltage to the electronic control u...
Why is my Kohler Command PRO ECH630 engine hard to start?
If your Kohler Crankshaft engine starts hard, several factors could be responsible. First, ensure the PTO drive is disengaged. Dirt or water in the fuel system can cause hard starting; check and replace the fuel if necessary. A clogged fuel line or fuel filter can also be the problem; clear or replace these components. Also, loose or faulty wires or connections can cause hard starting; secure them. Other potential causes include faulty or improperly adjusted throttle controls (adjust or replace them), faulty spark plugs (replace them), low compression (perform a compression test and repair), a weak spark (check ignition system and replace components), or a fuel pump malfunction. Additionally, an overheated engine due to restricted cooling or air circulation, improper fuel quality, a sheare...
