Good video and thank for not snipping the plunger off the fuel stop solenoid. A lot of repair shops cut it off. That’s not a good thing to do ever and they should close their business. Your a good mechanic brother! Nice work
100% agree. Thank you for watching, commenting and supporting the channel.
Brad you are the Man! My mower is a twin on your mower that your working on. Love my Lt2000 with the Kohler 17.5 . The problem that i had was it was sounding like it was running out of fuel. The gas cap seal had deteriorated and fell in the fuel tank. Flushed tank and replaced fuel filter back in businesses , Thank you so much. Your spot on! Terry P.S. Great tip on the solenoid .
Thanks Terry!
Good video I don;t have this problem but watched because of the great information. You not only told us what you were going to do but more importantly you showed doing the actual work which some don't show they just tell you and never show their work. Great video, good work thank you.
Thank you for watching and the kind comment!
Great tip for the gas cap I've done the clipping of the tip in the anti back fire solenoid on my Briggs and Stratton 19.5 over Head valve engine on my.poulan XT mower
That is a really clean mower!
Good job. I actually did away with the fuel solenoid and installed a fuel shut off valve on the fuel line. Just got to remember to shut the fuel off when finished
How do you plug the hole? Ill get rid of mine.
At least you stay positive and give the viewers a positive way of looking at how they can do it, too.
Great installment on the Kohler Command. I have two of them and they continue to run well after 25 years. The carbs are the only issues for me as they do have solenoid and float leakage issues. I installed fuel cut-offs to reduce fuel flow in to the engine through the carb when not running.
Nice to hear, you have taken care of your engines and they have served you well! Thank you for sharing. I agree, fuel shut off valves are a great addition.
great video! I think I learned a little more from you again. Thanks! Keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
One of the best small engine diagnostic and repair videos ever seen! I’ve been working on small engines and cars , trucks etc, just out of enjoyment and necessity for decades and love learning from a true mechanic and especially someone that is meticulous about the job and the little details that make the difference. My friend recently reached out to me about a Kohler 18 hp not starting and after recommending the usual check for fuel and fire, I came across this fuel solenoid issue. Watched a couple videos and they bypassed or cut it off. I don’t work that way, there’s a reason for this component and why not fix it the right way? Thanks and will be following your other videos! You’re a true craftsman in your field!

Brad,
Your videos are really helpful and well done. I wanted to ask you about the coil on a CV14T, do you know what resistance it should measure? I have a Scag that lost spark. I bought the replacement Kohler OEM ignition Coil 12-584-05 and neither worked, I actually returned the first one and the second one still didn't work. My original coil measured about 20k ohms. The OEM replacements measured at around 18.5k ohms. I took a coil off a CV15, it tested at 8.5K ohms and works just fine...the coil off the CV15 was a 12-854-01....
You would need to get into the manual to find out what all the resistance readings are.
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines I found them....7,900 to 18,400 ohms.
....I ordered a new coil from a different kohler retailer. hopefully this one works as I'm pretty shocked that 2 OEM Kohler coils both were bad.
Great video but I'm having a problem with it not turning over or anything. I turn the key and nothing it's just dead. Does anyone know what the problem could be
The solenoid was not seized in the up position, so why is it that it was still preventing fuel flow?
It was enough to stop fuel flow as seen while trying to start machine.
You made me nervous with that gas soaked rag around possible sparks testing it, and the heat gun.
I tried removing but it just spins. My 1/2 in wrench doesn’t fit to remove
thank you sir, cut that sucker off and running great! i'll order a new solenoid but riding right away now!
Glad to hear your up and running!
I have a 22hp courage Kohler mower new fuel pump I an not pumping gas I checked compression it checks 70 lb on the right side but only 30 lb on the side that the fuel pump is on. I think it may need a valve gasket or a valve job. any ideas?
Cannot guess, how many hours are on the engine. You should have a hour meter? Sounds like it is time to pull the head to see if it’s a valve not seating properly or if the valves look ok then you most likely have bad rings.
This mower looks brand new in the condition its in as if it was never used!
Question i have a club cadet with walbro carb it floods. Changed out needle i was told seat in carb is brass and not replaced. Now checked selonoid it works but it has no rubber cap on it like your pick in video and no oringon mine either. Put carb back together it still floods any suggestions?
Install a new OEM "original equipment manufacturer" carburetor.
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines thanks
Where in the world did you get the v shaped clip remover tool? Have looked for one forever.
Link is in the description below the video.
Awesome video! What if my engine is so tight I can't turn it by hand? It spins when I turn the key over but not by hand
First check the engine oil level. If your engine is spinning ok when you are using the key start. Most likely you are feeling the normal engine compression and the drag from the transmission drive belt that is running around the engine pulley.
@JohnsonsSmallEngines I got it running! I could hear the click in the fuel shutoff solenoid but I unscrewed it and rescrewed it in and somehow the dang thing started. If you were to go buy a mower for half an acre around the 4k dollar mark what would you buy? I want a standing but they are 6k! Thanks so much! I have a 2008 42" troybilt colt xp! I'd be looking for 30" to 46" I guess
One thing about kits. They are non returnable. Make sure your parts are correct.
YOU CAN DO IT !!!
At about 7 minutes into the video in the back behind the solenoid and a little to the right it looks like the engine casting is cracked or it's a grease / dirt crooked line.
Not that it is the problem but is it cracked or what ? Thanks
Yeah I wondered the same thing....
My "genuine" Kohler oil filter was made in India.
I have No problem w/the kit coming from Mexico... young Americans don't want to work in factories ~
Put your finger on and you will feel it click
absolutely stupid part that leaves you stranded, disable & life is much better.......junk!
