I have a question. I need some info on, please, Sir, I just replaced a solenoid on a kohler 21 hp that's on my Hustler lawnmower. The problem I'm having is now mower is not getting any power to the starter at all now . Is it possible that the solenoid is wired bacwards? Because of the mounting on the solenoid, there are two ways to mount it. Could Wiring it backward cause this. I have not given up trying to resolve it, I've recently had surgery on my back , so,, I have to take breaks for relief due to that, I thought it would be a simple placement of the way it was wired on the original one ,but it's not an oem part.
No you can’t mess it up, doesn’t matter. The two thick red wires go on the top big bolts and a yellow or white thin wire to tab, if it’s a 4 post solenoid, you’ll have another tab for the black thin wire.

Im thinking if you remove the rocker arm and ground down the flat spot on the bolt a little where the rocker sets you might be able to make up 10 or 15 thousands that you need. heck grinders work wonders lol
Install at least two engine mounting bolts diagonally when testing engine. Exhaust valve is roughly 3 times too loose out of spec at .020". Those Kohler early generations are known problems.
Henry , if you slip with that screwdriver, it will leave a mark. Ask me how i know! 😩🤯 i think theres alot of bad engineering on the Kohler courage. 👎🇺🇸
Part two and three and hey keeps me on the edge of my seat 👍 Nice one Henry !
Many more parts to come my friend, but you watch every episode anyways bill!
Thanks! Excellent video, and the additional info on the typical cracking situation is great to have filed away.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've never seen a starter do before. Excellent video 📹 Henry!!!!!!!!
Henry at mowers and blowers! I sold snowblower number 7 and mower number one for the season today!
Dang! I’ve sold air!

Nice work bro on the starter
Yeah it was interesting to see how that worked. Since we work on those courages often, it’s good to know.
@MowersNBlowers exactly even I didn't know it now I do

Hi can these be cleaned with out removing at all please 🙏?
The starter?

The problem is I need more material, instead of grinding, I’d weld a bead to make up the space I need.
Maybe use a pair of needle nose vise grips to hold the collar down next time? Good work buddy!
Before I clicked on your video I noticed mix in the bottom right. What does that refer too
I guess if you liked the channel, TH-cam puts together recent popular videos of mine for you to watch
Is that the right starter gear?
Stock Johnson electric, the only starter for the courage.
New technical term, Do Hickey😀

Kohler starters I mean.
Put your welding skills to use! Weld a good bolt to the broken bolt and extract it 😁

Yes I’ve done that myself a few times, and it definitely left the marks Roger!
Junk motor
No disagreement there, but it’s the only one I have
@@MowersNBlowers I don't remember where you are at, but I do know a guy that has 2 cases and 1 good motor. Bowling Green KY
@@johnl.mershon1407 thanks but the point to my channel is everything is free. Anyone can go buy an engine
You so be doing something else selling groceries or something , not telling people how to fix engine,s
Don't watch then
Didn’t I just teach you how to fix a starter?
OR, he could send a link to his repair on this same issue???🙃
