Kohler Engine

Kohler Engine Won't Start?

I have a Kohler Command 15.5 HP OHV CV15S Engine that will not start. I did a complete tune up on the motor 1.5 to 2 months ago with no problems. The engine ran great.

Last week I went to mow the lawn and the engine wouldn't start. It was turning over, but it never fired up.

I went out this morning to mow the lawn and nothing. The motor did not turn over or anything. It makes a clicking sound when I turn the key. I thought it might have been the battery. So I replaced it, nothing. I replaced the spark plug again, nothing.

I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice or thoughts as to what this might be.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Hmmm, turns over,not starting??? Low oil cut-off ? Check the oil level and the oil sensor wires. Fuel??? exaust smell like raw gas?? thats good means its got fuel. Choke on/stuck??
Spark ???? pull the plug, ground against the head and crank engine you should see sparks in the plug ?? good luck!!!

  • Rodney Caldwell:

    I have a Gravely Model 8199 KT with a Kohler KT19S Spec # 49132 engine.
    I need to replace one cylinder, piston and rod.
    I am looking for used or new parts.
    If I can’t find good prices on parts I will parts this tractor out.

    Thank you
    Rodney
