SOURCE: Won't continue running

This unit has a fuel solenoid on the carberator, which opens to allow fuel to the carberator. Check to see if this solenoid opens while cranking.

SOURCE: Kohler Courage carbeurator leaks when engine off.

You need to rebuild the carburetor. You can most likely find a rebuild kit through the manufacturer.

SOURCE: kohler gas geset no fuel to carb

The pickup tube in the craft's fuel tank has likely worked loose and dropped into the tank. The generator lost its "straw" that it needs to siphon fuel through.

SOURCE: what can cause fuel stoppage into the carb from the fuel bowl? Mod. EX 1000. Got spark & fuel. Will run if gas squirted into carb.

If the fuel bowl is full of gas the needle seat assembly may be at issue. Make sure the float level is correct. If set too low, the seat will close and not allow fuel to pass through. A carb rebuild may be in order.

What type of Honda is this? Not sure what an EX1000 is. Is it a motorcycle?

Have a Kohler Courage 18 hp in a Cub Cadet! SPEC PS-SV541-3212! Had bad gas! Dumped and put on a new fuel filter! gas! Did not run before without the choke pulled almost all the way! still same

Remove fuel line at carb. Remove filter, Drain out all old gas from tank. Let all of the fuel run into container if you see trash and water spray carb. Cleaner into tank until all trash and water are no longer seen. Blow out with compressed air if possible.Put all lines back. Remove bowl from carb. Check the bolt you removed from bowl should have a vertical and horizontal orifice through the bolt, make sure it is clean, remove all trash water etc. From bowl making sure the bowl gasket is in place and not pinched. Hopefully it will now start if not probably carb. Overhaul next.

My kohler courage 23 will pump fuel to the carb line but carb not geting gas

The float may be stuck. Has it been sitting for awhile?. Gas gets old and gums everything up. Any engine that gets used sesonaly like lawn mowers , boats, generators, ect should have the carb cleaned every year so it can mix fuel correctly. Fuel stabilizer can reduce the frequency this needs to be done if used right.

Cub Cadet has gas, has spark, has air -still won't start/run

Are you pulling the plug to check for wetness after cranking it a few times, WITHOUT using the starting fluid? Also, I would recommend using carb cleaner in place of the starting fluid. Starting fluid runs the engine VERY hot for a brief time and can possibly damage rings, valves, and aluminum parts.

I have a Kohler Courage 19 on a Troy built lawn tractor. I smelled a strong gas odor the day after I used it. I drained the oil and found it had gas in it. Could it be the float stuck on the carb. and...

sounds like you are on the right track, I would replace the needle and seat and also check the roll over solenoid that is on bottum of float bowl, some times they go bad and do that. and they have also had issues with needle and seat not sealing,. some people have put shut off valves on their line and turn it off when not using hope this helps you, don't forget the thumbs up!

My 23 hp kohler courage engine starts and runs for several seconds and stops. The gas is fresh, new plugs.gas filter. Fuel pump is working.The thing ran fine two weeks ago. Thanks, Mike

it sounds like the jet is dirty in the carburetor. Remove the float bowl and in the center there should be a jet that you can remove and clean. There are small holes on the side of it which you can clean with a thin piece of wire. Clean the center hole also.
