| Post subject: | 25 Kohler not running |
I have been having issues with my 25 Kohler not wanting to run right. It doesn't appear to be getting fuel. I left the key on one night and I'm afraid I burnt up the fuel pump, so I replaced that. Then it would run somewhat but only on choke and then would spit and sputter, now it simply wont crank at all. I pulled the plugs and turned it over, it didn't blow out any gas at all. I then pulled the carb and cleaned it out really well, there was lots of gunk in the bowl and the needle valve was very seazed up. I got out all the junk, cleaned up the needle valve, and replaced the carb. Still nothing. I'm getting spark and still not getting gas. I'm at a loss here. I even went back and replaced the hose and priming bulb just for good measure. The motor was running flawlessly the last time I took it out (when I left the key on and the fuel pump run for several hours), then when I tried to take it out the next time all hell broke loose and this is where I stand now. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I would really like to fix this myself instead of pay a small engine guy. Might do some upgrades while I'm working on it! |

check the fuel shutoff solenoid. Sounds like its burnt up and stuck shut. you can either spend money to replace or: Pro tip: Pull it out, cut the needle off and put it back in. |

Well I checked that and it had already been cut, also pulled the carb and had it cleaned really well. It's still not running. I'm at a loss. Unless I can come up with more ideas, I'm going to be taking it to a mechanic. |

it sounds stupid but check make sure your inline filter is on in the right direction had that problem on an outboard and it wouldn't run |
