4. Pull on the outer shield of the throle control
cable to remove any slack. Tighten the cable
clamp securely.
Figure 5-17. Throttle Position for Starting Engine.
2. Make sure the equipment is in neutral.
3. Activate the starter switch. Release the switch as
soon as the engine starts.
NOTE: Do not crank the engine continuously
for more than 10 seconds at a time.
If the engine does not start, allow a
60 second cool down period between
starting aempts. Failure to follow
these guidelines can burn out the starter
motor.
NOTE: If the engine develops sufficient speed
to disengage the starter but does not
keep running (a false start), engine
rotation must be allowed to come to
a complete stop before aempting
to restart the engine. If the starter is
engaged while the flywheel is rotating,
the starter pinion and flywheel ring gear
may clash, resulting in damage to the
starter.
If the starter does not turn the engine over, shut the
starter off immediately. Do not make further aempts
to start the engine until the condition is corrected. Do
not jump start using another baery (refer to Baery,
Section 7). See your Kohler Engine Service Dealer for
trouble analysis.
4. For Operation – Aer the engine starts, move
the throle/choke control from the fast/choke
on position and set the desired engine operating
speed (between the slow and fast position).
High Speed (RPM) Adjustment
The recommended maximum no-load high speed
(RPM) for most engines is 3300 RPM. The actual high
speed (RPM) depends on the application. Refer to the
equipment manufacturer’s instructions for specific
information.
WARNING: Overspeed is Hazardous!
Do not tamper with the governor seing. Over speed is
hazardous and could cause personal injury.
1. Make sure the throle cable is adjusted properly
(see ‘Throle Cable Adjustment).
2. Start the engine and allow it to warm up. Place
the throle control lever into the fast or high
speed position. Turn the choke adjustment
screw (see Figure 5-13) out/counterclockwise, so
there is clearance from the choke lever, and that
contact cannot occur during Step 4. See Figure
5-13.
3. Early Models: Early models use a single
alignment hole to set the engine RPM. Align
the hole in the throle lever with the hole in the
speed control bracket by inserting a pencil or 6.35
mm (1/4 in.) drill bit. See Figure 5-15.

Bracket and Throttle Lever. (Later Models)
Starting an Engine Equipped with Unitized Throttle
and Choke Control
1. For a Cold or Warm Engine – Place the throle/
choke control into the fast/choke on position.
This will also place the choke into the on
position. See Figure 5-17.
