    Kohler motor turns over but will not start.
    I found a used Toro Riding lawn mower with a 20 hp kohler motor. The mower has not been run in about a year. Prior to not using the mower it was operational and had been tuned up at a local shop. Now it will not start. Motor turns over but will not start. I changed the gas, cleaned the fuel lines, and replaced the fuel filter. Still does not start. The spark plug is new and seems to be getting spark. I suspect the problem might be in the carb. Just wanted to know if that is on the right track or if I should be checking somewhere else?

    Check for spark,
    Maybe put a little fuel in the carb.
    If it starts ,then it's a fuel problem.
    See if there's a fuel solenoid on the bottom of the carb.

Kohler motor blowing oil into the carb. [ 4 Answers ]

We have a Sears riding lawn mower with a Kohler Command 14.5 hp motor. Ran fine until it stopped. It is now blowing oil into the carb via a short hose that appears to come from some kind of breather on the front of the motor (facing forward in the chassis). I have no experience with Kohler and...
