Why won't my Kohler Command PRO ECH650 engine crank?

Mark LawrenceAug 22, 2025
If your Kohler Crankshaft engine won't crank, begin by ensuring the PTO drive is disengaged. A discharged battery is a common culprit; charge or replace it. Also, check if the safety interlock switch is engaged and disengage it. Loose or faulty wires or connections can prevent cranking; secure them. Other potential causes include a faulty key switch or ignition switch (replace if faulty), a faulty electric starter or solenoid (replace if faulty), or seized internal engine components (inspect and repair). A blown fuse, a faulty electronic control unit, or insufficient voltage to the electronic control unit can also prevent the engine from cranking; address these issues as necessary.

What causes a Kohler Command PRO ECH650 engine to lose power?
B
Bradley BarberAug 28, 2025
If your Kohler Crankshaft engine is losing power, several factors could be contributing. Begin by checking the crankcase oil level; refill if low or drain if high. A dirty air cleaner element can restrict airflow; clean or replace it. Also, dirt or water in the fuel system can cause power loss; check and replace the fuel if necessary. Excessive engine load can also cause this issue; reduce the load. Other potential causes include an overheated engine (ensure proper cooling), faulty spark plugs (replace them), low compression (perform a compression test and repair), an exhaust restriction (clear any restrictions), a low battery (charge or replace it), or an incorrect governor setting (adjust the setting).

Angela BeanAug 30, 2025
If your Kohler Crankshaft engine is overheating, several factors could be the cause. Start by checking for clogged air intake/grass screens, cooling fins, oil cooler, or cooling shrouds; clean these components to ensure proper airflow. Excessive engine load can also cause overheating; reduce the load. Check the crankcase oil level; refill if low or drain if high. A lean air-fuel mixture can also contribute to overheating; adjust the air-fuel mixture to the proper levels.

Corey LucasSep 2, 2025
If your Kohler Crankshaft engine runs but misses, several factors could be responsible. Start by checking for dirt or water in the fuel system; check and replace the fuel as necessary. Ensure the spark plug lead is connected. Poor fuel quality can also cause missing; use proper fuel quality. Other potential causes include faulty spark plugs (replace them), loose wires or connections (secure them), an overheated engine (ensure proper cooling), a faulty ignition module (replace it), an incorrect crankshaft position sensor air gap (adjust it), or insufficient voltage to the electronic control unit (ensure proper voltage supply).

What causes a Kohler Command PRO ECH650 engine to knock?
B
Brianna NormanSep 4, 2025
If your Kohler Crankshaft engine is knocking, several factors could be the cause. Excessive engine load can cause knocking; reduce the load. Check the crankcase oil level; refill if low. Old or improper fuel can also cause knocking; use fresh and appropriate fuel. Other potential causes include internal wear or damage (inspect and repair internal engine components), hydraulic lifter malfunction (repair or replace), improper fuel quality (use proper fuel quality), or an incorrect grade of oil (use the correct grade of oil).

If your Kohler Crankshaft engine will not idle, several factors could be responsible. Start by checking for dirt or water in the fuel system; check and replace the fuel as necessary. Stale fuel or dirty fuel injectors can also cause idling issues; replace stale fuel or clean the fuel injectors. Other potential causes include faulty spark plugs (replace them), an inadequate fuel supply (ensure adequate fuel supply), low compression (perform a compression test and repair), a restricted fuel tank cap vent (clear the vent), or an overheated engine due to cooling system or air circulation problems (ensure proper cooling and air circulation).

What causes a Kohler Command PRO ECH650 Crankshaft engine to use excessive oil?

Luis CrossSep 12, 2025
If your Kohler Crankshaft engine uses an excessive amount of oil, several factors could be contributing. First, check if you're using the incorrect oil viscosity or type and use the correct one. A clogged or improperly assembled breather can cause excessive oil consumption; clear or correctly assemble the breather. Other potential causes include a broken breather reed (replace it), worn or broken piston rings (replace them), a worn cylinder bore (repair or replace it), worn valve stems or valve guides (replace them), a crankcase overfilled (drain excess oil), or a blown head gasket or overheating (replace the head gasket).

Why is my Kohler Command PRO ECH650 engine leaking oil from the seals and gaskets?
U
uwrightSep 13, 2025
If your Kohler Crankshaft engine is leaking oil from the oil seals or gaskets, several factors could be the cause. A clogged or inoperative crankcase breather can cause oil leaks; clear or repair the breather. A broken breather reed can also cause leaks; replace the breather reed. Loose or improperly torqued fasteners can cause leaks; tighten fasteners to the correct torque specifications. Piston blowby or leaky valves can also cause this issue; repair or replace the piston or valves. Finally, a restricted exhaust can contribute to oil leaks; clear any exhaust restrictions.

How to fix a Kohler Crankshaft when it cranks but won't start?
J
Joshua SellersNov 16, 2025
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, ...

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...
