**Always follow the instructions in your repair manual when doing repair or maintenance work on Outdoor Power Equipment. Manuals can be found at the manufacturers website.* Checking the fuel system, and vacuum fuel pump on a V-twin 25HP Kohler engine involves checking the fuel lines that attach to the pump, and checking fuel flow. The first step is to check to make sure fuel can flow from the gas tank to the fuel pump. To do this, disconnect the fuel line from the vacuum inlet fitting on the vacuum pump. Take the fuel line and lower it to a point that is below the fuel tank and see if gravity will cause fuel to flow from the tank through the line. If fuel flows, than the line is clear. If fuel will not flow, than check the fuel filter to see if it is restricted. Also check the fuel tank shut off valve if the tank is equipped with one. The valve may be in the off position, or dirty and restricted. Check the fuel tank cap to see if the vent on the fuel tank cap is plugged. If the fuel tank cap vent is plugged than fuel will not flow out of the fuel tank. Next, check the pulse line on the vacuum pump. Make sure it is connected correctly to both the vacuum pump and the engine crankcase. Also, make sure the engine is not overfilled with oil and the pulse line is not filled with oil. If the engine oil is overfilled with oil, than oil can make its way into the pulse line and block the pressure necessary to operate the fuel pump. The next thing to check is the fuel line from the …

Small Engine Repair: How to Remove a Flywheel from a Kohler V-twin Engine using a Puller
Written by Tools on Friday, November 4th, 2011 in Power Equipment.

**Always follow the instructions in your repair manual when doing repair or maintenance work on Outdoor Power Equipment. Manuals can be found at the manufacturers website.** When removing a flywheel from a Kohler V-twin engine, Kohler recommends using a strap wrench to hold the flywheel to remove the flywheel bolt, and when tightening a puller to pop the flywheel off the engine crankshaft. It is possible to use a air or electric impact wrench, which would allow the flywheel to be removed without a strap wrench, but Kohler recommends not using an impact wrench. The method used in this video to remove the flywheel can be used on other small industrial engines. Thank you for watching!

Small Engine Repair: How to Adjust the Mechanical Governor on a Kohler V-Twin Engine
Written by Tools on Wednesday, August 10th, 2011 in Power Equipment.
Tags: Adjust, Engine, Governor, KOHLER, Mechanical, Repair, Small, VTwin
**Always follow the instructions in your repair manual when doing repair or maintenance work on Outdoor Power Equipment. Manuals can be found at the manufacturers website.** The 25HP V-twin Kohler engine fitted with a carburetor uses a centrifugal flyweight mechanical governor. The governor is designed to hold the engine speed constant under different loads. The bulk of the governor is contained inside the engine crankcase and is gear driven by the engines camshaft. This is how the governor works. The flyweights on the governor move outward by centrifugal force as the engine speed increases. The higher the engine speed, the higher the centrifugal force acting on the flyweights. As the flyweights move outward, they turn a shaft called the cross shaft, which is connected to the governor arm. The governor arm is located outside the engine and is connected to the governor spring and the throttle valve on the carburetor. The governor spring force always tries to hold the governor arm and throttle wide open. When the engine reaches a speed where the centrifugal force on the flyweights and turning force on the cross shaft is equal to the governor spring force, than the engine will stabilize at that engine speed. The governed speed of the engine is always the point when the centrifugal force on the flyweights and turning force on the cross shaft is equal to the governor spring force. When the engine encounters a load, the engine slows down, and less centrifugal force is acting on …
