Excerpts From The Kohler Engine Repair Manual
| Electric Starting Motors Some engines in this series use inertia drive starting motors while most use solenoid shift starters. The inertia drive types are covered first and the solenoid shift types following. |
NOTE: If the starter does not crank the engine, shut
off the starter immediately. Do not make further attempts to start the engine until the condition is corrected. |
| Starting Motor Precautions NOTE: Do not crank the engine continuously for more than 10 seconds at a time. If the engine does not start, allow a 60 second cool-down period between starting attempts. Failure to follow these guidelines can burn out the starter motor. |
NOTE: Do not drop the starter or strike the starter
frame. Doing so can damage the starter. Starter Removal and Installation Refer to the “Disassembly” and “Reassembly” Sections for starter removal and installation procedures. |
| NOTE: If the engine develops sufficient speed to disengage the starter but does not keep running (a false start), the engine rotation must be allowed to come to a complete stop before attempting to restart the engine. If the starter is engaged while the flywheel is rotating, the starter pinion and flywheel ring gear may clash, resulting in damage to the starter. |

| Transmission
or Engine |
1. Make sure the clutch or transmission is disengaged or placed in
neutral. This is especially important on equipment with hydrostatic
drive. The transmission must be exactly in neutral to prevent
resistance which could keep the engine from starting. 2. Check for seized engine components such as the bearings, connecting rod, and piston. |
