Kohler v twin , not getting fuel.


Recommended Posts

Check the fuel line. Chinese junk breaks down and plugs up the needle and seat. Gotta blow back and get the junk out.

is the tank above the motor?pull the hose off the pump is there fuel? the solenoid in the carb can keep it from starting if bad but it should still pump fuel. it may not fill the filter it may only show a little gas in it. and will run fine. if it hasnt been started in months some of them start hard

No, fuel tank is below the engine

I would try an impulse pump, they are cheap, Kohler part # 2439316, Briggs part # 808656, Oregon part # 07-700, rotary part # 10875..they are all the same, made by Niki.

It also could be the solenoid in the bowl of the carb is stuck shut..but I'd need engine #'s to look it up..

Looks to have a mechanical fuel pump not an impulse pump and it might be NLA..Doing some research
