To Next PageTo Next PageWhat causes Kohler KT735 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.
Why Kohler Engine Cranks But Will Not Start?
Your Kohler engine might crank but fail to start due to several reasons: a backwards battery connection, a blown fuse, a malfunctioning carburetor solenoid, the choke not closing, a clogged fuel line or filter, a failed diode in the wiring harness, a DSAI or DSAM malfunction, an empty fuel tank, a faulty electronic control unit, faulty ignition coils or spark plugs, a fuel pump malfunction (clogged or leaking vacuum hose), a closed fuel shut-off valve, faulty or improperly gapped ignition modules, insufficient voltage to the electronic control unit, an engaged or faulty interlock switch, the key or kill switch being in the OFF position, a low oil level, poor fuel quality (dirt, water, stale, or improper mixture), a SMART-SPARK™ malfunction, or disconnected spark plug leads.
How to troubleshoot Kohler Engine 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.
What to do if my Kohler KT735 stops suddenly?
If your Kohler Engine stops suddenly, do not attempt to service or replace major engine components, or any items that require special timing or adjustment procedures. This work should be performed by a Kohler authorized dealer.
Why Kohler KT735 uses excessive amount of oil?
If your Kohler Engine uses an excessive amount of oil, several issues could be responsible. Loose or improperly torqued fasteners can cause oil consumption, so tighten or replace them. Inspect and replace the head gasket if it's blown or if the engine overheated. Inspect and replace the breather reed if it's broken. Inspect and repair the crankcase breather if it's clogged, broken, or inoperative. Drain excess oil from the crankcase if it's overfilled. Use the correct oil viscosity/type. Inspect and repair the cylinder bore if it's worn. Inspect and replace the piston rings if they are worn or broken. Inspect and replace the valve stems/valve guides if they are worn.
How to troubleshoot Kohler KT735 that will not idle?
If your Kohler Engine will not idle, it could be due to several factors. If the engine overheated, allow it to cool down. Inspect and replace the spark plug(s) if they are faulty. Adjust the idle fuel needle(s) if they are improperly set. Adjust the idle speed screw if it's improperly set. Ensure there is an adequate fuel supply. Inspect the engine for compression issues if compression is low. Replace the fuel with fresh quality fuel. Clean or replace the fuel tank cap if the vent is restricted.
What to do if Kohler KT735 Engine runs but misses?
If your Kohler Engine runs but misses, it could be due to several reasons: The carburetor might be adjusted incorrectly, so adjust it properly. If the engine has overheated, allow it to cool down. Inspect and replace the spark plug(s) if they are faulty. Inspect and correctly gap the ignition module(s) if they are faulty or improperly gapped. Check and adjust the crankshaft position sensor air gap if it's incorrect. 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. Replace the fuel with fresh quality fuel. Reconnect any disconnected spark plug leads. Secure the spark plug lead boot if it's loose on the plug. Finally, tighten any loose spark plug leads.
Why Kohler KT735 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 KT735 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.
What to do if Kohler KT735 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.
