User manual KOHLER KDW2204T

[. . . ] NOTE: is used to notify people of important installation, operation, or maintenance information. Gasoline is extremely flammable and its vapors can explode if ignited. Store gasoline only in approved containers, in well ventilated, unoccupied buildings, away from sparks or flames. Spilled fuel could ignite if it comes in contact with hot parts or sparks from ignition. [. . . ] Wet Fouled A wet plug is caused by excess fuel or oil in combustion chamber. Excess fuel could be caused by a restricted air cleaner, a carburetor problem, or operating engine with too much choke. Oil in combustion chamber is usually caused by a restricted air cleaner, a breather problem, worn piston rings, or valve guides. 26 KohlerEngines. com 18 690 01 Rev. A Electrical System Carbon Fouled ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM Inductive Discharge Ignition System Components J F B Soft, sooty, black deposits indicate incomplete combustion caused by a restricted air cleaner, over rich carburetion, weak ignition, or poor compression. Overheated C A D E I H G Chalky, white deposits indicate very high combustion temperatures. Lean carburetor settings, an intake air leak, or incorrect spark timing are normal causes for high combustion temperatures. BATTERY A 12 volt battery (not furnished) with a minimum current rating of 230 cold cranking amps/18 amp hours should be sufficient for cranking most electric start engine models. Actual cold cranking requirement depends on engine size, application and starting temperatures. Cranking requirements increase as temperatures decrease and battery capacity shrinks. Refer to equipment's operating instructions for specific battery requirements. If battery charge is insufficient to turn over engine, recharge battery. Connect a jumper lead from yellow lead terminal to a bare spot on crankcase (ground). Turn ignition switch ON, crank engine, and observe red LED indicator lamp. Separate bullet connector where switch lead joins double red harness lead. If lamp was not flashing initially but did flash in step 3, control module is good, but ignition switch is probably faulty. With float switch removed, connect one ohmmeter lead to float switch lead terminal and connect other lead to mounting bracket. Conclusion If not, replace it. Indicator lamp flashes during cranking. 5. Connect one ohmmeter lead to kill lead (black/white) terminal and connect other lead into spark plug cap. If resistances are other than specified, remove blower housing and remove ignition module. With kill lead and spark plug cap removed, test resistance from small spade terminal to core of spark plug lead wire. Resistance Chart Ignition Module Cap Spade Terminal to Spark Plug Lead Wire 13. 5-18. 0 K ohms 4-6 K ohms 9. 5-12. 9 K ohms 28 KohlerEngines. com 18 690 01 Rev. Trace two black leads from on/off switch and separate them from any connections. [. . . ] Using hand pressure, compress each valve spring and slide each retainer onto valve stem to lock in place. Check to make sure there are no nicks or burrs on sealing surfaces of cylinder head or crankcase. Install dowel pins into recesses around lower cylinder head bolt holes and install a new cylinder head gasket. 46 Install Push Rods and Rocker Arms NOTE: Push rods should always be installed in original location.
