Kohler Garden - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues
My kolher engine on my rototiller will not start.I can put a little bit of gas where the spark plug goes and it will start for a few seconds but won't keep running.is it major?
No what the problem may be is the gas tank filter may be stopped up or the carburetor has varnished gasoline in it? In the future use an additive called stabil can be found at most auto parts stores or Walmart has it in automotive around the gasoline additives! It gasoline from varnishing and becoming gel like in the winter when you store your mowers weedeaters and tillers! Try getting gasoline to be pulled up by making sure gas flows from fuel lines first! If you don't have a primer button then you more than likely have a choke on the carb? Close the choke you can use ether sparingly to ease in pulling the rope frequently or a rag soaked with a little gas will allow vapors to get sucked in the carb assisting the engine to start

Spark and fuel but engine wont fire
Usually a solenoid or battery issue. may be the flywheel too. It does turn and the flywheel on top spins horizontally, yet it will not catch? if so then it may need a solenoid next to the flywheel which grabs resistence as the flywheel spins. cheap fix and on youtube.

No spark at plugs after replacing coils it has spark advance what do I look for next
Check for the switching pulse at the coil input terminal. It should be less than the battery voltage but not zero, or pulsing in sync with the engine (if you know the spark dwell angle, you can calculate the voltage by multiplying it by the number of cylinders, dividing by 360 degrees, then multiplying by the battery voltage). If you don't get any indication that the coil is being switched to ground to generate the spark, your distributor contact (for mechanical ignition switches) , magneto or electronic ignition module could be the problem. Before changing whatever one of these you have, double-check the wiring to the coil - a misplaced, broken or loose wire will have the same effect.
Wont spray
I hope the engine wont spray... if it's a pressure washer thats not spraying the name of the unit would help... but does it build pressure but doesn't spray - check the wand does it even build pressure ??? no - replace pump

Kohler command 20 twin engine - no spark
If there's no spark, then either the spark plug has come into contact with gas, or the ignition coil is bad. Try either replacing the spark plugs, or removing the old ones and seeing if the tips are damp.If replacing them doesn't work or the plugs are dry, then try replacing the ignition coil.
Weed trimmer (2 wheeled) screeches.
All questions need full 'make model (what is is)' as first 3 words please. Very often, issues like this are a known fault and users tell the fix.
You need to track down where the screech is coming from?
Wheels
Drive Belt
Bearings
Piston rings
Or it may be battery operated?

I've a 5 litre garden pressure sprayer and it's not functioning properly. It is pumping pressure but then it's leaking it all out at top of the green handle.
Here are some steps you can follow:
Check the Seals and O-Rings:
Release the pressure: Make sure there's no pressure in the cylinder by releasing the pressure release valve.
Unscrew the pump: Remove the pump to access the internal components.
Inspect the seals and O-rings:
Look for any damaged or worn-out rubber seals.
Check the rubber seal at the bottom of the tube (where the plunger sits) and ensure it's in place.
Examine the one-way valve (usually at the bottom of the tube) and clean it. Lubricate it with silicone grease.
Lubricate the rubber washer on the plunger with silicone grease and reassemble it in the tube.
Reassemble the pump: Put the plunger back into the tube and lock it with the handle.
Test the sprayer: Pump it up and check if it maintains pressure without leaking.
Inspect the Handle and Hose:
Handle connection: Ensure the handle is securely attached to the cylinder.
Hose inspection: Check the hose for kinks, twists, or blockages. Straighten out any kinks and remove debris that might be blocking the hose.
Check the Nozzle and Wand:
Nozzle adjustment: Adjust the nozzle to the desired spray pattern.
Wand inspection: Examine the spray wand for clogs or obstructions.
Lubricate O-Rings and Seals:
Apply silicone grease to the O-rings, seals, and other moving parts to ensure smooth operation.
Test the Sprayer:
Fill the cylinder to the desired level (avoid exceeding the maximum fill mark).
Screw down the pump firmly to create an airtight seal.
Manually operate the pressure release valve to ensure it's working.
