I have a koheler cv25s I put New flywheel new carburetor and still running lazy if I take off the carburetor cover run better but spilled to much gas out but if I put back it goes down can you help me please
Love the videos! I like working on my little small engines and your videos definitely helped me out!! Thanks guys for all your hard work!! Keep up the good job 👍🏻
Taryl I've been watching a lot of your videos, and now it's time to maybe buy something new instead of fixing all the time . the question I have is on the Toro Z master do you think a 26 1/2 horse Kohler command is sufficient horsepower for cutting through taller grass that doesn't get cut all the time or should I get the Kawasaki 31 hp What are your thoughts also on the Ferris 37 horse Vanguard big block
I have a riding tractor lawn mower Craftsma it will turn but won't start
What I really like about Taryl, is his out an out enthusiazums for his work, not just doing it
and kindly sharing his Hi-Voltage' smarts, but his humour only he and his crew could
give us. Thanks, Taryl!
Thank YOU! I have a Sears mower with the 2-cylinder Kohler engine. Followed your instructions. Bought two spark testers ($10), hooked them up and sure enough, one side wasn't sparking. Got the replacement coils, installed them and all is well again. Saved me a bunch of money and headaches.
Just found your channel today. Lmao At first I was like wtf is this dude a real person.. Then watched a few more videos, lmao Golden! Love it subbed
Again and again terrell demonstrates why he is, if not The very best then one of the best small engine mechanics available. I also like Mustie, Raley's small engine, Donnie boy 73, Steve's small engine saloon and individualized repair. I would put
All 6 of these guys in the same room and then give them all the same complicated small engine fix with five of the same small engines with the same small problems and see who could figure it out and fix it first. And speed of repair would not count because I would give them all a 15 or 20 minute tolerance of time allotment to fix the engine. Now we are talking a really good RUclips video!!! Demographics of these guys are pretty interesting, Two from canada, Two from the midwest, One who is an east coast transplant to the midwest, And one from down south, T-bone, who is a good old boy With some of the niftiest tricks I have seen along with taryl. Individualized repair is about the fastest though, BUT, the rest of these guys have been doing it for so long And they are all so good that they would give him a good run for his money. I'd probably put my money on donnie boy 73, But only by a whisker of a margin. I don't think there is a problem that must be hasn't seen ever!
keep them multiple choice questions coming , great fun, that way we earn our dinner, thanks, Taryl .
You are the BEST, thanks for sharing your knowledge freely to us non mechanics. I greatly appreciate you taking the time and effort to make and share these videos. Thanks
Taryl, Thank you. I didnt think about a dirty coil until I watched this video. took it off, cleaned it up and BAM!!! right back to working. Keep up the good work I learn a LOT from your videos.
sometimes its that and alot of times its a bad coil. sometimes you'll get lucky and itll just be a little rust build up on the flywheel and coil
@@cashen7384 yeah that's pretty common, I love those easy fixes 👍
@@billmers3219 yessir. Usually rust doesnt cause an issue except when it actually is touching the flywheel making it drag. But yea gotta love the easy fixes
Man I'm glad I'm not the only one to run into this. Tractor brought in, you check it over tell them, ok here is what it needs. Do the repair, crank it up, ooops another problem, call the customer, fix that one, Dang something else, call the customer, Now they are at your door with the pitch forks and torches LOL Good video Taryl I only missed the Toro Question. Guessed Murry by the headlight plastic, got the others though.
Boy you are so comical but that’s why I love your videos. Not only entertaining but so much fun. Please keep the good hard work.
Thanks for making this video. My problem was a bad coil and this video solved it.
Tayrl is like a 📺 tv game show host with the most,maybe you could do another video like this in the future Tayrl.GOOD STUFF!!.
Thanks Troy. I cleaned my carburetor. Liquid soap it's cleaned my carburetor really good thanks for your help bro
TARYL ROCKS!! This was exactly what I need to see to fix my rig. Thanks for the quiz, the funny stuff, Q&A too...
You've been a great help, especially this video. But I put in two new coils and now I have no spark on one coil a all. I replaced the coil two more times still no spark on the same cylinder
this kind of troubleshoot video ,is a great way to learn something
Thank you for the Great information just proves after many years of small engine repair I never know everything and always enjoy learning from others. Ed
Have kohler courage 26, had to replace coils from the original electronic back to magneto, gapped them at .25. Now starter spins up and meshes with flywheel but won't turn it, I can turn flywheel by hand so not stuck.????
I have a 22Hp Kohler motor on a Sears 50" cut lawnmower. Motor runs great, then just shuts off. Battery goes dead when new after it has run for a while. Motor sounds great while running though. First thing that came to mind to me was the coil/coils? got hot and would shut it off. The battery is dead now, it is old. But I can still jump start it and runs awesome then shuts off. Can you give me any ideas what you think could be wrong with it? Enjoy your videos, and learn from them. Thank you for sharing them. A guy I know has a Husqvarna mower that acts like the switch is bad, but watching your video showed me how to check the swithch, which is good. Now I have to test the safety switches on it to see why it won't start. I can start with screw driver on the solenoid.
My favorite video to date!.
Very useful and informative
THANK YOU!
Well done Taryl great information on the trouble shooting.
Love the multiple choice! Thanks for all the great videos!
This guy was great in Deliverance.
Great video, my Craftsman GT5000 with Kohler 22hp V twin is doing the exact same thing, intermittent spark on right side, changed plugs and still missing intermittent, coils are ordered now! Thanks for the good info on testing!
Thank you so much! This video helped my dad fix his rider. You rock!
you the man....You keep my lawn lookin so nice
You are the manTaryl.
I am working on a CH25S V twin kohler horizontal , But otherwise like that vertical shaft of yours, in my zero turn right now. Always great tips with some comedy from Darryl!
your videos are great. i hope one day you can show how to replace a peerless transmission on a bobcat or similar walk behind thank you mr. dactal
Thanks I fix my stooped lawn more.had a wizard last 12 years this zero turn is all ways need something.
i`m not sure what the repair bill was, but i do like the idea of saving a tractor from the scrapyard and you do that by having someone around who knows what their talking about. and that someone is Taryl
As usual, another good video... i just received a set of those spark testors friday... they work great. Thanks again Taryl... :)
No problem glad to help!
Great video Taryl. I have the same motor in my tractor and it sounds just like this. I need a new coil too. Thanks for the video and helping me trouble shoot my tractor.
You brighten up my day, Taryl
Ford lawn tractors in the late 1980's was built by Gibson brother's which built Lawnboy which was bought out by toro.
Well raise my rent.
Great video, this man looks and sounds just like my Economics professor at UC Berkeley.
We need a Taryl who works on outboard motors here on Long Island NY You go the extra mile to fix it till it’s right and working like new.
Exactly what mine is doing right now! Thanks for the tip!!!
Taryl great video, can you tell us the name of the device you used to check the spark plugs? Did you make them or did you buy them?
Hi Taryl, I love learning this stuff and was wondering how to determine that it does not have a bad spark plug vs. a bad coil. Is it because you can see the poor spark thru the tester first before it reaches the plug? If it had a bad plug, would the poor spark in the tester look different?
Awesome video as usuasl taryl. Learned so much from you I been repairing mowers and doing very well. Thanks
I have a Kohler ch 18 that's been running rough and backfiring a little. I put the spark testers on as u did and like yours,one is steady and the other is erratic. I've been searching for symptoms of a weak coil a and nothing describes my symptoms. My question is, can a coil go weak and cause these symptoms? I've asked about this on a small engine and garden tractor forums and nobody addressed the possibility of a bad coil. The carb has been replaced and fuel flow is good.
First off... Thank ya Thank ya Thank ya !! I have a Kroler 25hp (not original engine on my Exmark Turf Tracer, label gone haha) about two weeks ago, it started losing power under load, even light grass. Here are my challenging trouble shooting tips. 1. was harder to start, had to pull choke, crank and quickly release choke and it would fire up. 2 under load, slight black smoke like loading up and engine dropped to about 20 percent. No apparent miss just no power. Here is what I did....checked the compression by removing both plugs and cranking 60 in both cylinders (is this due to compression release? on command?mixed input here) New plugs, Fuel line, Fuel filter, fuel pump, new carb. 2 checked charging system, seems good. battery good. Now I did your test on this video and at first I was disappointed to see both glowing orange. I engaged blades and still orange BUT after about five mins... I noticed a flickering on one coil compared to the other. I purchased a kit and intend to replace. ANY thoughts from the Wise and Powerful Taryl?? you fix this one... I'm gettin a shirt!
i owe Taryl so many free dinners i can't sleep
A lot of knowledge Taryl and very smart as well.
I have a question not related to this video. I have a kohler command pro CV24 on a toro z master zero turn and the solenoid has failed. And I have another kohler command CV22 that I was going to use the starter off of but the one on the toro has the solenoid built onto the starter and the donor does not. My question is will the starter off of a kohler command pro CH17 horizontal shaft engine work on the kohler command pro CV24 engine? Because I can't find a starter with a built on solenoid for the CV24. Thank you for your videos. I have learned a lot from you !!!
Taryl... my friend has a 1981-86 not sure. 540 Bobcat with a Kohler motor . ran good when he bought it. but now it floods out ? what do you think it could be?
Thanks for the video just had a cub cadet do the same thing and I pulled the spark plug off while it was running and it ran the same way so I know the coils bad
Brilliant video thank you ❤️😎💡👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I have a Scotts with the 20hp Kohler that had the exact same hood on it. It was made by Murray. When I entered in some part numbers online , Murray was the only parts diagram that matched up. Maybe manufacturers swap each other parts. Even the head light assembly is the same. cheers
Most Scotts I have seen were either Murray built or John Deere built. I have trouble finding a part for my murray built scotts I had so I sold it. Mine was a 15 hp single Kohler but, run great and mowed good only spent 250 originally for mine served me good a couple years but, wish I could of fixed it.
Love your videos Taryl. I have a kohler SV735 engine that bogs under load. I went through the easy stuff. cleaned the carb, replaced the fuel filter, and new plugs. Still bogging down. I'm wondering if either my fuel solenoid isn't working (the fuel pump is) or if I have a bad coil. What should I check first? Thganks
wow I would of never guessed coil, good video Teryl thanks
i actually thought it was high revving so i thought governor was broken off the cam gear. but i was wrong lol
Great video full of useful information
Love the videos very helpful man thank you👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love your videos
Taryl, have you ever seen inconsistent spark only when you engage the electric PTO? Basically only under a load. I'm running into a problem with this Kohler 20HP. When i engage the blades the rpms seem to dip down a bit and seems to run just a little rough. Not horrible but i believe it should have just a wee bit more power.
thanks for dinner
I have a kohler mv18s spewing oil from the breather tube. I replaced the breather reed valve and it still does it. Any helpful advice would be appreciated
hey taryl...my brother has the LS45 ...16HP Kohler command engine. we are going thru trying to figure out why he has no fuel going to the carb. Put a new Mikuni fuel pump on...no go...took the line off from the gas tank to the pump, held it down and lots of fuel comes out... there is ZERO pulse from the pulse line that goes to the crankcase when turning over. what would cause this?? ie: what should we be looking at next? thx a bunch. fellow grassrats....
What's your impressions of the Kohler Command pro series 🤔
Thanks Taryl Always a great help.
Good video. I think that is what is wrong with mine but it is 24 years old and I am getting a new one anyway
Mr. Taryl, my Kohler cv16s has low compression. Can you tell me priorities of checks/tests you would do with low compression (70 psi)? I'm thinking of checking valve clearance first because its pretty easy to do. Maybe you can make a video on what to do when you have low compression.
Excellent video
Hey Taryl, what is the cylindrical barrel shaped device on the front left of the twin engine? Last night I was doing maintenance and repair on a recently purchased JD G110 and noticed that thing was loose,…maybe broken? I shoved it back on but now it’s smoking when I start it (briefly!) but it then died….thoughts?
I learned something here thanks
Awesome job on the video. Like the entertainment and questions to play along. Good info awesome mechanic👌👍👍
Cool, I got the exact same tractor except mine is the LS45 butt the exact same engine.. This will be a big help if I have this problem. That is one nice looking 20 year old mower...!!!
thank you taryl
Gotta love this guy.....
Finally i see a mower running just like mine. Ill get the testers tomorrow if i csn find them and do the spark test
I got the testers at harbor freight tools the next day. Not only did my mower run like his but when i put the testers on the lights was just like his. I ordered two coils and will get them today. Im excited
Thanks for the video.
I put the new coil on. It didnt fix the problem. Still blinks on that side. I changed the plugs and still no change. That only leaves the ground wire so i must have a intermittent ground on that coil. Ill ohm the wire out there is a plug behind the engine. Might be bad plug connection. Its late so ill look tomorrow.
Finally i got everything fixed. It wasnt a coil but intermitten connection on the ground wire. They seem tight but would get loose so you have to tighten them twice. If i have any more trouble with them ill solder them next time. The reason why my light shows bad is because the light was bad. It would blink worse showing the loose connection but it would blink a little anyway. It caused me lots of headache trying to fix the coils. When i swapped the lights i thought how can that be so put bith lights in series and one would blink lots and one wouldnt blink at all. So if youre going to use this type of cheap testers like i did out them in series and make sure they both work right.
Great video - I have a 19 1/2 year old Kohler CV-25S with the notorious digital spark system I will replace with the good ol' old timey version Kohler went back to using - Kohler keeps learning ... Kohler makes great stuff but they do have some idiotic issues - also I run Royal Purple synthetic oil but am switching to AMSOIL and filter for even better protection/long life
Dad's old kohler pro24 engine which now resides in my jd L120 had bad coil on same side
Taryl, what do you think is the best riding mower to buy for the money and the least problems with repairs
another great video mr taryl thank you
I caved in and bought a new Gravely 260 with a Kholer 29 hp EFI engine. So far so good. It has 53 hrs use and now I have to change the Hydro oil. Can you make a video on how to do that? I've read several booklets and manuals that say I have to bleed both hydros from the bottom as opposed to using my syphon. I'm lost
i have the same situation
Bingo! I just came inside minutes ago from working on my faltering my Toro 266 H Wheelhorse ---- it's running just like that. I was going to sit down and read about the regulator rectifier, thinking the electrical information to the carburetor solonoid wasn't correct, thus causing an unsteady regulation of gas at the carburetor ...and thus.....to the engine , causing the rough running. As I began searching I saw this video. Hey! Mine sounds just like this one does / did. Ya think? ?? Well, I'll have to get some spark plug checkers.... We shall see.
Love your videos I always look forward to your next ones
Tarly I have a Kohler CV 742 you always have to choke the engine hot or cold is this normal if not what's the problem. Thank you
Having these exact issues with my Kohler courage mower (Ariens 50") down under in Australia..wot tha hell I know I'll ask Taryl.. you're a legend mate..
Taryl it was rust on the coils mower is about 6 years old
I go0t a john deer smaller enginethe coil has been an issue as well careful when replacing them the bolts are very tiny n will sheer off very easily lucky I have a machine shop handy or it would be in the junk yard now. Good video!
Good job, as usual. Thank you!
Good run down. Thank you
Hey Taryl how about a kohler command twin that randomly surges? new coils, carburetor, piston rings, governor gear, oil pump, valve jobs, excellent leak down tests, lifters removed and cleaned. Randomly runs perfectly, other times it surges ping ponging the governor.
Ya the koler CV18S runs about 20 seconds then quits !
Choke it to start and does the same thing.
Put new fuel line from tank , new filter , pump works and put new carb on it !
Need an idea what to check now .
Can you help .
What would cause a spark plug to break off the tip while removing and then very hard to screw in Kohler CV18 HP?
2-cylinder Kohler engine. trying to locate the carb itself. need to clean bad fuel but do not know if i should remove the silver plate on the front of the motor Please help me get to this carb
Love these guys
Hey Taryl, I got a Husqvarna riding mower with Kohler engine with dual ignition coil. I've had the problem where it won't restart after it's been running for a while or hot.
I've replaced the solenoid and both ignition coils and it seemed to work fine. But again it's doing the same thing. The spark plugs and oil have been changed as well recently. What else should I check? Thanks in advance.
I got kholer v twin and iv got no spark to the plug but if I stick a screw driver in and hold it . It will jolt me pretty good if I'm grounding myself to the engine . Can you help me out ?
Hey Tayrl,
I have a Kohler 25hp twin. I put a new carburetor on it and now it back fires after warmed up upon restart only. Do you think it's the carb or valve gap? 750 hours on motor.
Thanks
Tom
Very helpful. What RPM should a CV740 Kohler be at for MAX throttle
& no load? The K71 transaxle states 3400rpm, but shouldn't the
engine be a little higher than that at no load (in neutral & mower
deck idle)? Thanx.
Could I use/modify a carb and intake from a vertical shaft 18 hp kohler command on my horizontal engine, in hopes of making the engine shorter, got some clearance issues
Thanks for making these videos.
Taryl, great video's man.. very helpful information.. I have quick question on the engine, i have the 27 hp Course pro v-twin.. getting ready to use for the winter and should I use the Kohler oil - 10w-30 or 5w-30 Mobil 1 synthetic? i live in NY area , What to you recommend, i will be attaching a snow thrower on this unit, hopefully soon.
ROFL!!! ... and today I learned something new, thanks Taryl!!
I love your videos!!
Any idea why the valve cratered? Those kohlers are pretty tough. The tractor itself didnt look abused.
I'm working on a Honda HT3813 that when I changed the battery I lost spark and hope as well.... I'm at a loss 👀😭
Hey got a husqvarna pushmower won’t run it’s got spark and gettin fuel but feels like it’s down on compression alittle it’s gotta be valves or bad head gasket right
Maybee yood be interstead in marrage with my seester Patty - we think yoor awzum. Subscribed.
