To Next PageTo Next PageWhy are there Oil Leaks from Oil Seals, Gaskets in Kohler Engine?
Oil leaks from the oil seals and gaskets of your Kohler engine may be caused by a broken breather reed, a clogged or inoperative crankcase breather, loose or improperly torqued fasteners, piston blow by or leaky valves, or a restricted exhaust.
Why Kohler Engine loses power?
If your Kohler Engine loses power, start by cleaning or replacing the air cleaner element. Ensure the engine isn't overheating by allowing it to cool down. Reduce the engine load if it's excessive. Inspect and clear any restrictions in the exhaust system. Check and replace the spark plug(s) if faulty. Verify and adjust the crankcase oil level if it's too high. Adjust the governor setting if it's incorrect. If the battery is low, charge or replace it. Inspect the engine for compression issues if compression is low. Check and refill the crankcase oil if the level is low. Finally, replace the fuel with fresh quality fuel to rule out fuel issues.
What to do if Kohler KT730 Engine starts but does not keep running?
If your Kohler Engine starts but doesn't keep running, there are several possible causes. A faulty carburetor could be the issue, so inspect and replace it if necessary. Also, a faulty cylinder head gasket can cause this problem, requiring replacement. Adjust the choke or throttle controls if they are faulty or misadjusted. Inspect the fuel pump and hoses for any malfunctions or clogs. Look for intake system leaks and repair them. Loose wires or connections that intermittently ground the ignition kill circuit can also be the cause, so tighten them. Replace the fuel with fresh quality fuel to ensure fuel quality isn't the problem. Lastly, clean or replace the fuel tank cap if the vent is restricted.
What causes Kohler KT730 Engine will not crank?
If your Kohler Engine will not crank, it could be due to several reasons. The battery might be discharged, so try charging or replacing it. Inspect and replace the electric starter or solenoid if they are faulty. Check and replace the key switch or ignition switch if they are faulty. Make sure the interlock switch is not engaged or faulty. Tighten any loose wires or connections that might be grounding the ignition kill circuit. Check the pawls engagement. Finally, inspect the engine for seized components.
Why Kohler Engine starts hard?
If your Kohler Engine starts hard, consider these potential causes: a clogged fuel line or fuel filter, which you should clean or replace. If the engine overheated, allow it to cool down. Inspect and replace the ACR mechanism if it's faulty. Adjust the choke or throttle controls if they are faulty or misadjusted. Inspect and replace the spark plug(s) if they are faulty. Replace the flywheel key if it's sheared. Inspect the fuel pump and hoses for any malfunctions. Check the interlock switch to ensure it is not engaged or faulty. Tighten any loose wires or connections that might be grounding the ignition kill circuit. Inspect the engine for compression issues if compression is low. Replace the fuel with fresh quality fuel. Finally, inspect the ignition system for a weak spark.
What causes Kohler KT730 Engine Will Not Idle?
If your Kohler engine will not idle, it could be due to the engine overheating, faulty spark plugs, improperly set idle fuel adjusting needles or idle speed adjusting screw, inadequate fuel supply, low compression, poor fuel quality (dirt, water, stale, or improper mixture), or a restricted fuel tank cap vent.
Why Kohler KT730 Engine Knocks?
A knocking sound in your Kohler engine can be caused by excessive engine load, hydraulic lifter malfunction, incorrect oil viscosity/type, internal wear or damage, low crankcase oil level, or poor fuel quality (dirt, water, stale, or improper mixture).
What to do if Kohler KT730 Engine Will Not Crank?
If your Kohler engine won't crank, it could be due to a discharged battery, a faulty electric starter or solenoid, a faulty key or ignition switch, an engaged or faulty interlock switch, loose wires intermittently grounding the ignition kill circuit, pawls not engaging in the drive cup, or seized internal engine components.
What causes Kohler KT730 Engine Uses Excessive Amount of Oil?
Excessive oil consumption in your Kohler engine could be due to loose or improperly torqued fasteners, a blown head gasket or overheating, a broken breather reed, a clogged or inoperative crankcase breather, an overfilled crankcase, incorrect oil viscosity/type, a worn cylinder bore, worn or broken piston rings, or worn valve stems/valve guides.
How to troubleshoot Kohler KT730 Starts Hard?
If your Kohler engine starts hard, the issue might stem from a clogged fuel line or fuel filter, the engine overheating, a faulty ACR mechanism, faulty or misadjusted choke or throttle controls, faulty spark plugs, a sheared flywheel key, a fuel pump malfunction (clogged or leaking vacuum hose), an engaged or faulty interlock switch, loose wires intermittently grounding the ignition kill circuit, low compression, poor fuel quality (dirt, water, stale, or improper mixture), or a weak spark.
