Rotating Parts can cause severe injury.

Stay away while engine is in operation.

Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never operate engine with covers, shrouds, or guards removed.

WARNING

Carbon Monoxide can cause severe nausea, fainting or death.

Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes.

Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless, and can cause death if inhaled.

Accidental Starts can cause severe injury or death.

Disconnect and ground spark plug lead(s) before servicing.

Before working on engine or equipment, disable engine as follows: 1) Disconnect spark plug lead(s). 2) Disconnect negative (–) battery cable from battery.

Hot Parts can cause severe burns.

Do not touch engine while operating or just after stopping.

Never operate engine with heat shields or guards removed.

Cleaning Solvents can cause severe injury or death.

Use only in well ventilated areas away from ignition sources.

Carburetor cleaners and solvents are extremely ﬂ ammable. Follow cleaner manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on its proper and safe use. Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.

Electrical Shock can cause injury.

Do not touch wires while engine is running.

WARNING

CAUTION

Damaging Crankshaft and Flywheel can cause personal injury.

Using improper procedures can lead to broken fragments. Broken fragments could be thrown from engine. Always observe and use precautions and procedures when installing ﬂ ywheel.

Failure to utilize or reassemble debris screen as designed could result in debris screen failure and serious personal injury.

High Pressure Fluids can puncture skin and cause severe injury or death.

Do not work on fuel system without proper training or safety equipment.

Fluid puncture injuries are highly toxic and hazardous. If an injury occurs, seek immediate medical attention.

Explosive Fuel can cause ﬁ res and severe burns.

Fuel system ALWAYS remains under HIGH PRESSURE.

Wrap a shop towel completely around fuel pump module connector. Press release button(s) and slowly pull connector away from fuel pump module allowing shop towel to absorb any residual fuel in high pressure fuel line. Any spilled fuel must be completely wiped up immediately.

EXTERNAL ENGINE INSPECTION

NOTE: It is good practice to drain oil at a location away

from workbench. Be sure to allow ample time for complete drainage.

Before cleaning or disassembling engine, make a thorough inspection of its external appearance and condition. This inspection can give clues to what might be found inside engines (and cause) when it is disassembled.

● Check for buildup of dirt and debris on crankcase,

cooling ﬁ ns, grass screen, and other external surfaces. Dirt or debris on these areas can cause overheating.

● Check for obvious fuel and oil leaks, and damaged

components. Excessive oil leakage can indicate a clogged or inoperative breather, worn or damaged seals or gaskets, or loose fasteners.

● Check air cleaner cover and base for damage or

indications of improper ﬁ t and seal.

● Check air cleaner element. Look for holes, tears,

cracked or damaged sealing surfaces, or other damage that could allow unﬁ ltered air into engine. A dirty or clogged element could indicate insufﬁ cient or improper maintenance.

● Check carburetor throat for dirt. Dirt in throat is further

indication that air cleaner was not functioning properly.

● Check if oil level is within operating range on dipstick.

If it is above, sniff for gasoline odor.

● Check condition of oil. Drain oil into a container; it

should ﬂ ow freely. Check for metal chips and other foreign particles.

Sludge is a natural by-product of combustion; a small

accumulation is normal. Excessive sludge formation could indicate over rich fuel settings, weak ignition, overextended oil change interval or wrong weight or type of oil was used.

CLEANING ENGINE

WARNING

Cleaning Solvents can cause severe injury or death.

Use only in well ventilated areas away from ignition sources.

Carburetor cleaners and solvents are extremely ﬂ ammable. Follow cleaner manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on its proper and safe use. Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.

After inspecting external condition of engine, clean engine thoroughly before disassembly. Clean individual components as engine is disassembled. Only clean parts can be accurately inspected and gauged for wear or damage. There are many commercially available cleaners that will quickly remove grease, oil, and grime from engine parts. When such a cleaner is used, follow manufacturer’s instructions and safety precautions carefully.

Make sure all traces of cleaner are removed before engine is reassembled and placed into operation. Even small amounts of these cleaners can quickly break down lubricating properties of engine oil.

CRANKCASE VACUUM TEST

Troubleshooting

WARNING

Carbon Monoxide can cause severe nausea, fainting or death.

Avoid inhaling exhaust fumes.

Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless, and can cause death if inhaled.

A partial vacuum should be present in crankcase when engine is operating. Pressure in crankcase (normally caused by a clogged or improperly assembled breather) can cause oil to be forced out at oil seals, gaskets, or other available spots.

Crankcase vacuum is best measured with either a water manometer or a vacuum gauge. Complete instructions are provided in kits.

To test crankcase vacuum with manometer:

1. Insert rubber stopper into oil ﬁ ll hole. Be sure pinch clamp is installed on hose and use tapered adapters to connect hose between stopper and one manometer tube. Leave other tube open to atmosphere. Check that water level in manometer is at 0 line. Make sure pinch clamp is closed.

2. Start engine and run no-load high speed.

3. Open clamp and note water level in tube.

Level in engine side should be a minimum of 10.2

cm (4 in.) above level in open side.

If level in engine side is less than speciﬁ ed (low/no

vacuum), or level in engine side is lower than level in open side (pressure), check for conditions in table below.

4. Close pinch clamp before stopping engine.

Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts to prevent injury. Never operate engine with covers, shrouds, or guards removed.

To test crankcase vacuum with vacuum/pressure gauge:

1. Remove dipstick or oil ﬁ ll plug/cap.

2. Install adapter into oil ﬁ ll/dipstick tube opening,

3. Run engine and observe gauge reading. Analog tester–needle movement to left of 0 is a

Digital tester–depress test button on top of tester. Crankcase vacuum should be a minimum of 10.2 cm

Troubleshooting

COMPRESSION TEST

For Command Twins: A compression test is best performed on a warm engine. Clean any dirt or debris away from base of spark plug(s)

before removing them. Be sure choke is off, and throttle is wide open during test. Compression should be at least 160 psi and should not vary more than 15% between cylinders.

All other models: These engines are equipped with an automatic compression release (ACR) mechanism. It is difﬁ cult to obtain an

accurate compression reading because of ACR mechanism. As an alternative, use cylinder leakdown test described below.

CYLINDER LEAKDOWN TEST

A cylinder leakdown test can be a valuable alternative to a compression test. By pressurizing combustion chamber from an external air source you can determine if valves or rings are leaking, and how badly.

Cylinder leakdown tester is a relatively simple, inexpensive leakdown tester for small engines. This tester includes a quick-connect for attaching adapter hose and a holding tool.

1. Run engine for 3-5 minutes to warm it up.

2. Remove spark plug(s) and air ﬁ lter from engine.

3. Rotate crankshaft until piston (of cylinder being tested) is at top dead center (TDC) of compression stroke. Hold engine in this position while testing. Holding tool supplied with tester can be used if PTO end of crankshaft is accessible. Lock holding tool onto crankshaft. Install a 3/8 in. breaker bar into hole/slot of holding tool, so it is perpendicular to both holding tool and crankshaft PTO.

If ﬂ ywheel end is more accessible, use a breaker bar and socket on ﬂ ywheel nut/screw to hold it in position. An

assistant may be needed to hold breaker bar during testing. If engine is mounted in a piece of equipment, it may be possible to hold it by clamping or wedging a driven component. Just be certain that engine cannot rotate off of TDC in either direction.

4. Install adapter into spark plug hole, but do not attach it to tester at this time.

5. Turn regulator knob completely counterclockwise.

6. Connect an air source of at least 50 psi to tester.

7. Turn regulator knob clockwise (increase direction) until gauge needle is in yellow set area at low end of scale.

8. Connect tester quick-connect to adapter hose. While ﬁ rmly holding engine at TDC, gradually open tester valve. Note gauge reading and listen for escaping air at combustion air intake, exhaust outlet, and crankcase breather.

Condition Conclusion

Air escaping from crankcase breather. Ring or cylinder worn. Air escaping from exhaust system. Defective exhaust valve/improper seating. Air escaping from intake. Defective intake valve/improper seating. Gauge reading in low (green) zone. Piston rings and cylinder in good condition. Gauge reading in moderate (yellow) zone. Engine is still usable, but there is some wear present.

Customer should start planning for overhaul or replacement.

Gauge reading in high (red) zone. Rings and/or cylinder have considerable wear. Engine

should be reconditioned or replaced.

EFI SYSTEM

WARNING

Explosive Fuel can cause ﬁ res and severe burns.

Do not ﬁ ll fuel tank while engine is hot or running.

Typical electronic fuel injection (EFI) system and related components include:

● Fuel pump module and lift pump.

● Fuel ﬁ lter.

● High pressure fuel line.

● Fuel line(s).

● Fuel injectors.

● Throttle body/intake manifold.

● Electronic control unit (ECU).

● Ignition coils.

● Engine (oil) temperature sensor.

● Throttle position sensor (TPS).

● Crankshaft position sensor.

● Oxygen sensor.

● Temperature/Manifold Air Pressure (TMAP) sensor.

● Wire harness assembly & afﬁ liated wiring.

● Malfunction indicator light (MIL) - optional.

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

Refer to Maintenance.

FUEL LINE

Low permeation fuel line must be installed on all Kohler Co. engines to maintain EPA and CARB regulatory compliance.

OPERATION

NOTE: When performing voltage or continuity tests,

avoid putting excessive pressure on or against connector pins. Flat pin probes are recommended for testing to avoid spreading or bending terminals.

EFI system is designed to provide peak engine performance with optimum fuel efﬁ ciency and lowest possible emissions. Ignition and injection functions are electronically controlled, monitored and continually corrected during operation to maintain ideal air/fuel ratio.

Central component of system is Engine Control Unit (ECU) which manages system operation, determining best combination of fuel mixture and ignition timing for current operating conditions.

A lift fuel pump is used to move fuel from tank through an in-line fuel ﬁ lter and fuel line. Fuel is then pumped to fuel pump module. Fuel pump module regulates fuel pressure to a system operating pressure of 39 psi. Fuel is delivered from fuel pump module through high pressure fuel line into injectors, which inject fuel into intake ports. ECU controls amount of fuel by varying length of time that injectors are on. This can range from 2 to over 12 milliseconds depending on fuel requirements. Controlled injection of fuel occurs every other crankshaft revolution, or once for each 4-stroke cycle. When intake valve opens, air/fuel mixture is drawn into combustion chamber,compressed, ignited, and burned.

ECU controls amount of fuel being injected and ignition timing by monitoring primary sensor signals for engine temperature, speed (RPM), and throttle position (load). These primary signals are compared to preprogrammed maps in ECU computer chip, and ECU adjusts fuel delivery to match mapped values. After engine reaches operating temperature, an exhaust gas oxygen sensor provides feedback to ECU based upon amount of unused oxygen in exhaust, indicating whether fuel mixture being delivered is rich or lean. Based upon this feedback, ECU further adjusts fuel input to re-establish ideal air/fuel ratio. This operating mode is referred to as closed loop operation. EFI system operates closed loop when all three of following conditions are met:

● Oil temperature is greater than 50°C (122°F).

● Oxygen sensor has warmed sufﬁ ciently to provide a

signal (minimum 400°C, 752°F).

● Engine operation is at a steady state (not starting, warming up, accelerating, etc.).

During closed loop operation ECU has ability to readjust temporary and learned adaptive controls, providing compensation for changes in overall engine condition and operating environment, so it will be able to maintain ideal air/fuel ratio. This system requires a minimum engine oil temperature of 60°-70°C (140°-158°F) to properly adapt. These adaptive values are maintained as long as ECU is not reset.

During certain operating periods such as cold starts, warm up, acceleration, high load, etc., a richer air/fuel ratio is required and system operates in an open loop mode. In open loop operation oxygen sensor output is used to ensure engine is running rich, and controlling adjustments are based on primary sensor signals and programmed maps only. This system operates open loop whenever three conditions for closed loop operation (above) are not being met.

ECU is brain or central processing computer of entire EFI system. During operation, sensors continuously gather data which is relayed through wiring harness to input circuits within ECU. Signals to ECU include: ignition (on/off), crankshaft position and speed (RPM), throttle position, oil temperature, intake air temperature, exhaust oxygen levels, manifold absolute pressure, and battery voltage.

EFI SYSTEM

ECU compares input signals to programmed maps in its memory to determine appropriate fuel and spark requirements for immediate operating conditions. ECU then sends output signals to set injector duration and ignition timing.

ECU continually performs a diagnostic check of itself, each of sensors, and system performance. If a fault is detected, ECU can turn on a Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) (if equipped) on equipment control panel, store fault code in its fault memory, and go into a default operating mode. Depending on signiﬁ cance or severity of fault, normal operation may continue. A technician can access stored fault code using a blink code diagnosis ﬂ ashed out through MIL. An optional computer software diagnostic program is also available, see Tools and Aids.

ECU requires a minimum of 6.0 volts to operate. To prevent engine over-speed and possible failure, a

rev-limiting feature is programmed into ECU. If maximum RPM limit (4500) is exceeded, ECU suppresses injection signals, cutting off fuel ﬂ ow. This process repeats itself in rapid succession, limiting operation to preset maximum.

Wiring harness used in EFI system connects electrical components, providing current and ground paths for system to operate. All input and output signaling occurs through two special all weather connectors that attach and lock to ECU. Connectors are Black and Grey and keyed differently to prevent being attached to ECU incorrectly.

Condition of wiring, connectors, and terminal connections is essential to system function and performance. Corrosion, moisture, and poor connections are as likely cause of operating problems and system errors as an actual component. Refer to Electrical System for additional information.

EFI system is a 12 VDC negative ground system, designed to operate down to a minimum of 6.0 volts. If system voltage drops below this level, operation of voltage sensitive components such as ECU, fuel pump, ignition coils, and injectors will be intermittent or disrupted, causing erratic operation or hard starting. A fully charged, 12 volt battery with a minimum of 350 cold cranking amps is important in maintaining steady and reliable system operation. Battery condition and state of charge should always be checked ﬁ rst when troubleshooting an operational problem.

Keep in mind that EFI-related problems are often caused by wiring harness or connections. Even small amounts of corrosion or oxidation on terminals can interfere with milliamp currents used in system operation.

Cleaning connectors and grounds will solve problems in many cases. In an emergency situation, simply disconnecting and reconnecting connectors may clean up contacts enough to restore operation, at least temporarily.

If a fault code indicates a problem with an electrical component, disconnect ECU connector and test for continuity between component connector terminals and corresponding terminals in ECU connector using an ohmmeter. Little or no resistance should be measured, indicating that wiring of that particular circuit is OK.

Crankshaft position sensor is essential to engine operation; constantly monitoring rotation and speed (RPM) of crankshaft. There are 23 consecutive teeth cast into ﬂ ywheel. One tooth is missing and is used to reference crankshaft position for ECU.

During rotation, an AC voltage pulse is created within sensor for each passing tooth. ECU calculates engine speed from time interval between consecutive pulses. Gap from missing tooth creates an interrupted input signal, corresponding to speciﬁ c crankshaft position near BDC for cylinder #1. This signal serves as a reference for control of ignition timing by ECU. Synchronization of inductive speed pickup and crankshaft position takes place during ﬁ rst two revolutions each time engine is started. Sensor must be properly connected at all times. If sensor becomes disconnected for any reason, engine will quit running.

Throttle position sensor (TPS) is used to indicate throttle plate angle to ECU. Since throttle (by way of governor) reacts to engine load, angle of throttle plate is directly related to load on engine.

Mounted on throttle body and operated directly off end of throttle shaft, TPS works as a potentiometer, varying voltage signal to ECU in direct correlation to angle of throttle plate. This signal, along with other sensor signals, is processed by ECU and compared to internal preprogrammed maps to determine required fuel and ignition settings for amount of load.

Correct position of TPS is established and set at factory. Do not loosen TPS or alter mounting position unless absolutely required by fault code diagnosis. If TPS is loosened or repositioned, appropriate TPS Learn Procedure must be performed to re-establish baseline relationship between ECU and TPS.

Engine (oil) temperature sensor is used by system to help determine fuel requirements for starting (a cold engine needs more fuel than one at or near operating temperature).

Mounted in oil pan near oil ﬁ lter, it has a temperature- sensitive resistor that extends into oil ﬂ ow. Resistance changes with oil temperature, altering voltage sent to ECU. Using a table stored in its memory, ECU correlates voltage drop to a speciﬁ c temperature. Using fuel delivery maps, ECU then knows how much fuel is required for starting at that temperature.

Temperature/Manifold Air Pressure (TMAP) sensor is an integrated sensor that checks both intake air temperature and manifold absolute pressure.

Intake Air Temperature control is a thermally sensitive resistor that exhibits a change in electrical resistance with a change in its temperature. When sensor is cold, resistance of sensor is high. As sensor warms up, resistance drops and voltage signal increases. From voltage signal, ECU can determine temperature of intake air.

Purpose of sensing air temperature is to help ECU calculate air density. Higher air temperature less dense air becomes. As air becomes less dense ECU knows that it needs to lessen fuel ﬂ ow to achieve correct air/fuel ratio. If fuel ratio was not changed engine would become rich, possibly losing power and consuming more fuel.

EFI SYSTEM

Manifold Absolute Pressure check provides immediate manifold pressure information to ECU. TMAP sensor measures difference in pressure between outside atmosphere and vacuum level inside intake manifold and monitors pressure in manifold as primary means of detecting load. Data is used to calculate air density and determine engine's mass air ﬂ ow rate, which in turn determines required ideal fueling. TMAP also stores instant barometric pressure reading when key is turned ON.

Oxygen sensor functions like a small battery, generating a voltage signal to ECU based upon difference in oxygen content between exhaust gas and ambient air.

Tip of sensor, protruding into exhaust gas, is hollow. Outer portion of tip is surrounded by exhaust gas, with inner portion exposed to ambient air. When oxygen concentration on one side of tip is different than that of other side, a voltage signal up to 1.0 volt is generated and sent to ECU. Voltage signal tells ECU if engine is straying from ideal fuel mixture, and ECU then adjusts injector pulse accordingly.

Oxygen sensor functions after being heated to a minimum of 400°C (752°F). A heater inside sensor heats electrode to optimum temperature in about 10 seconds. Oxygen sensor receives ground through wire, eliminating need for proper grounding through mufﬂ er. If problems indicate a bad oxygen sensor, check all connections and wire harness. Oxygen sensor can also be contaminated by leaded fuel, certain RTV and/or other silicone compounds, fuel injector cleaners, etc. Use only those products indicated as O2 Sensor Safe.

Fuel injectors mount into intake manifold, and high pressure fuel line attaches to them at top end. Replaceable O-rings on both ends of injector prevent external fuel leakage and also insulate it from heat and vibration. A special clip connects each injector to high pressure fuel line and holds it in place. O-rings and retaining clip must be replaced any time fuel injector is separated from its normal mounting position.

When key switch is on, fuel pump module will pressurize high pressure fuel line to 39 psi, and voltage is present at injector. At proper instant, ECU completes ground circuit, energizing injector. Valve needle in injector is opened electromagnetically, and pressure in high pressure fuel line forces fuel down through inside. Director plate at tip of injector contains a series of calibrated openings which directs fuel into manifold in a cone-shaped spray pattern.

Injectors have sequential fueling that open and close once every other crankshaft revolution. Amount of fuel injected is controlled by ECU and determined by length of time valve needle is held open, also referred to as injection duration or pulse width. Time injector is open (milliseconds) may vary in duration depending on speed and load requirements of engine.

A high-voltage, solid-state, battery ignition system is used with EFI system. ECU controls ignition output and timing through transistorized control of primary current delivered to coils. Based on input from crankshaft position sensor, ECU determines correct ﬁ ring point for speed at which engine is running. At proper instant, it interrupts ﬂ ow of primary current in coil, causing electromagnetic ﬂ ux ﬁ eld to collapse. Flux collapse induces an instantaneous high voltage in coil secondary which is strong enough to bridge gap on spark plug. Each coil ﬁ res every other revolution.

EFI engines are equipped with either a 20 or 25 amp charging system to accommodate combined electrical demands of ignition system and speciﬁ c application. Charging system troubleshooting information is provided in Electrical System.

An electric fuel pump module and a lift pump are used to transfer fuel in EFI system. Pumping action is created by oscillation of positive and negative pressures within crankcase through a hose. Internal check valves prevent fuel from going backward through pump. Fuel pump module receives fuel from lift pump, increases and regulates pressure for fuel injectors.

Fuel pump module is rated for a minimum output of 13.5 liters per hour and regulated at 270 kilopascals (39 psi).

When key switch is turned ON and all safety switch requirements are met, ECU activates fuel pump module for about six seconds, which pressurizes system for start-up. If key switch is not promptly turned to start position, engine fails to start, or engine is stopped with key switch ON (as in case of an accident), ECU switches off pump preventing continued delivery of fuel. In this situation, MIL will go on, but it will go back off after 4 cranking revolutions if system function is OK. Once engine is running, fuel pump remains on.

Precision components inside fuel pump module are not serviceable. DO NOT attempt to open fuel pump module. Damage to components will result and warranty will be void. Because fuel pump module is not serviceable, engines are equipped with a special 10-micron EFI fuel ﬁ lter to prevent harmful contamination from entering module.

If there are two ﬁ lters in system, one before lift pump will be a standard 51-75 micron ﬁ lter, and one after lift pump will be special 10-micron ﬁ lter. Be sure to use an approved 10-micron ﬁ lter for replacement.

High pressure fuel line is an assembly of hoses, injector caps and a fuel connector to fuel pump module. High pressure fuel line feeds fuel to top of injectors through injector caps. Caps are fastened to intake manifold and injectors are locked into place. A small retaining clip provides a secondary lock.

19 690 01 Rev. --KohlerEngines.com

Page 27

EFI SYSTEM

High pressure fuel line is serviced as a complete assembly to prevent tampering and safety hazards. Components are not individually serviceable.

Vent hose assembly is intended to vent fuel vapor out of fuel pump module and direct fuel vapor into throttle body. All EFI engines are equipped with an engine mounted purge port on #2 side of blower housing. This capped purge port can be used by OEM to vent fuel tanks or used in conjunction with a carbon canister kit for Tier III evaporative emissions compliance. Purge port connects to vent hose assembly and directs all fuel vapor into throttle body. If purge port remains unused, port must remain capped to prevent dirt from entering engine.

EFI engines have no carburetor, so throttle function (regulate incoming combustion airﬂ ow) is achieved with a throttle valve in a separate throttle body attached to intake manifold. Throttle body/intake manifold provides mounting for fuel injectors, throttle position sensor, TMAP sensor, high pressure fuel line, idle speed screw, and air cleaner assembly.

Idle speed is only adjustment that may be performed on EFI system. Standard idle speed setting for EFI engines is 1500 RPM, but certain applications might require a different setting. Check equipment manufacturer’s recommendation.

For starting and warm up, ECU will adjust fuel and ignition timing, based upon ambient temperature, engine temperature, and loads present. In cold conditions, idle speed will probably be different than normal for a few moments. Under other conditions, idle speed may actually start lower than normal, but gradually increase to established setting as operation continues. Do not attempt to circumvent this warm up period, or readjust idle speed during this time. Engine must be completely warmed up, in closed loop operating mode for accurate idle adjustment.

IMPORTANT NOTES!

● Cleanliness is essential and must be maintained at all times when servicing or working on EFI system. Dirt, even in small quantities, can cause signiﬁ cant problems.

● Clean any joint or ﬁ tting with parts cleaning solvent before opening to prevent dirt from entering system.

● Always depressurize fuel system through fuel connector on fuel pump module before disconnecting or servicing any fuel system components.

● Never attempt to service any fuel system component while engine is running or ignition switch is ON.

● Do not use compressed air if system is open. Cover any parts removed and wrap any open joints with plastic if they will remain open for any length of time. New parts should be removed from their protective packaging just prior to installation.

● Avoid direct water or spray contact with system components.

● Do not disconnect or reconnect ECU wiring harness connector or any individual components with ignition on. This can send a damaging voltage spike through ECU.

● Do not allow battery cables to touch opposing terminals. When connecting battery cables attach positive (+) cable to positive (+) battery terminal ﬁ rst, followed by negative (-) cable to negative (-) battery terminal.

● Never start engine when cables are loose or poorly connected to battery terminals.

● Never disconnect battery while engine is running.

● Never use a quick battery charger to start engine.

● Do not charge battery with key switch ON.

● Always disconnect negative (-) battery cable before

charging battery, and also unplug harness from ECU before performing any welding on equipment.

Never attempt to disassemble ECU. It is sealed to prevent damage to internal components. Warranty is void if case is opened or tampered with in any way.

All operating and control functions within ECU are preset. No internal servicing or readjustment may be performed. If a problem is encountered, and you determine ECU to be faulty, contact your source of supply.

ECU pins are coated at factory with a thin layer of electrical grease to prevent fretting and corrosion. Do not attempt to remove grease from ECU pins.

Relationship between ECU and throttle position sensor (TPS) is very critical to proper system operation. If TPS or ECU is changed, or mounting position of TPS is altered, appropriate TPS Learn Procedure must be performed to restore synchronization.

Any service to ECU, TPS/Throttle Body (including idle speed increase over 300 RPM), or fuel pump module replacement should include ECU Reset.

This will clear all trouble codes, all closed loop learned offsets, all max values, and all timers besides permanent hour meter.

This system will NOT reset when battery is disconnected!

ECU Reset Procedure

1. Turn key/ignition OFF.

2. Install Red wire jumper from Kohler EFI service kit on to service port (connect white wire to black wire in 4 way diagnostic port).

3. Turn key/ignition ON, then OFF and count 10 seconds.

4. Turn key/ignition ON, then OFF and count to 10 seconds a second time.

5. Remove Red wire jumper. Turn key/ignition ON, then OFF and count to 10 seconds a third time. ECU is reset.

A TPS Learn Procedure must be performed after ECU Reset.

TPS Learn Procedure

1. Turn idle screw clockwise one full turn prior to key/ ignition ON after ECU Reset.

2. Start engine, run at low idle until engine is warm.

3. Idle speed must be above 1500 RPM. If below 1500 RPM, turn idle screw up to 1700 RPM and then shut down engine and perform ECU Reset again.

4. Restart engine, adjust idle speed down to 1500 RPM. Allow engine to dwell at 1500 RPM for about 3 seconds.

5. After this, adjust idle speed to ﬁ nal speciﬁ ed speed setting.

6. Turn key/ignition OFF and count to 10 seconds.

Learn procedure is complete.

Crankshaft Position Sensor

A sealed, non-serviceable assembly. If Fault Code diagnosis indicates a problem within this area, test and correct as follows.

1. Remove #2 cylinder clean-out cover from blower housing to access. Check sensor mounting.

2. Inspect wiring and connections for damage or problems.

3. Make sure engine has resistor type spark plugs.

4. Disconnect Black connector from ECU.

5. Connect an ohmmeter between #4 and #13 pin terminals. A resistance value of 325-395 Ω at room temperature (20°C, 68°F) should be obtained. If resistance is correct, check mounting, ﬂ ywheel teeth (damage, run-out, etc.), and ﬂ ywheel key.

6. Disconnect crankshaft position sensor connector from wiring harness. Test resistance between terminals. A reading of 325-395 Ω should again be

obtained.

a. If resistance is incorrect, remove screw securing

sensor to crankcase and replace sensor. Follow procedures in Disassembly to remove blower housing.

b. If resistance in step 5 was incorrect, but

resistance of sensor alone was correct, test wire harness circuits between sensor connector terminals and corresponding pin terminals (#4 and #13) in main connector. Correct any observed problem, reconnect sensor, and perform step 5 again.

7. When fault is corrected and engine starts, clear fault codes following ECU Reset procedure.

is outside of speciﬁ ed range and output transitions in a smooth manner, reset ECU and run test again. Since there is no longer any wear elements inside sensor, most likely faults will be in electrical connections between sensor and wire harness and wire harness to ECU. With service software communicating to ECU and engine not running, a small load or gentle back and forth motion can be applied to connectors or wires just outside connectors to detect a faulty connection.

If only a volt meter is available Measure voltage supply to sensor from ECU. This

voltage should be 5.00 +/- 0.20 volts. This can be measured by gently probing terminals B & C on harness side with TPS connector removed from TPS and key ON. This will generate a P0122 fault that can be cleared with an ECU reset. If voltage is low, battery, harness and ECU should be investigated. If supply voltage is good, plug sensor back into harness. Probe sensor signal wire with volt meter, terminal A at TPS or pin Black 12 at ECU. This signal should start between 0.6-1.2 volts at low idle and grow smoothly as throttle is opened to 4.3-

4.8 volts at full open (WOT). Since there is no longer any wear elements inside sensor, most likely faults will be in electrical connections between sensor and wire harness and wire harness to ECU.

Replace magnet assembly

Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)

TPS is a sealed, non-serviceable assembly. If diagnosis indicates a bad sensor, complete replacement is necessary. A magnet that sensor detects is separate, and can be replaced or reused. If a blink code indicates a problem with TPS, it can be tested as follows:

Diagnostics of sensor: ECU will have electrical faults captured in fault codes P0122 and P0123. Fault code P0122 detecting low voltage, open circuit, and P0123 for high voltage conditions between ECU, wire harness, and sensor. Tip: when working with any electrical connection, remember to keep connections clean & dry. This is best accomplished by cleaning connection thoroughly prior to disassembly. Contaminated sensor connections can cause premature engine faults. Functionally testing sensor can no longer be done with simple resistance checks. If either of these two faults is present or a TPS fault is suspected, recommended diagnostic test is as follows:

If a computer with diagnostic software is available

Observe throttle percent and raw TPS values through diagnostic software. With diagnostic software communicating to ECU and key ON engine not running, these values can be observed while throttle is moved from closed to full open position. There should be a smooth and repeatable throttle percent value starting at closed position reading between 0 (about 6.5%) to WOT position reading 93 (100%). If one of these values

A Magnet Assembly B

Magnet assembly is captured in a small plastic housing that is press ﬁ t to end of throttle shaft. This generally does not need replacement. If replacement is required, it can be replaced as follows:

1. Remove sensor from throttle body, exposing round magnet assembly.

2. A pair of ﬂ at blade screw drivers or a spanner tool can be used to pry this off shaft. Caution should be used to avoid damage to machined ﬂ at surface that sensor seals against. Also, make sure throttle blade is in full open position to avoid driving throttle blade into throttle bore causing damage to blade and/or bore.

3. When replacing magnet assembly, alignment is critical. There is a D-shaped drive feature on end of shaft and a matching pocket in magnet assembly. On outer diameter of magnet assembly is a notch that aligns with center of ﬂ at feature of D. Align this notch and ﬂ at of D feature in shaft and preassemble parts.

4. With throttle blade in full open position (WOT), press magnet assembly fully on to throttle shaft. Full insertion can be checked by measuring height from throttle body sensor mounting face to end of magnet assembly. This should be no more than 8.6 mm (0.338 in). Installation process requires signiﬁ cant force, so take care that all parts are aligned. Tapping magnet assembly on can fracture/damage brittle magnet within assembly and throttle body assembly and is NOT RECOMMENDED.

Engine (Oil) Temperature Sensor

A sealed, non-serviceable assembly. A faulty sensor must be replaced. If a blink code indicates a problem with temperature sensor, it can be tested as follows:

1. Remove temperature sensor from crankcase and cap or block sensor hole.

2. Wipe sensor clean and allow it to reach room temperature (25°C, 77°F).

3. Unplug Black connector from ECU.

4. With sensor still connected, check temperature sensor circuit resistance between Black pin 10 and 14 terminals. Value should be 9000-11000 Ω.

5. Unplug sensor from wire harness and check sensor resistance separately across two pins. Resistance value should again be 9000-11000 Ω.

a. If resistance is out of speciﬁ cations, replace

temperature sensor.

b. If it is within speciﬁ cations, proceed to Step 6.

6. Check circuits (input, ground), from wire harness connector to sensor plug for continuity, damage, etc. Connect one ohmmeter lead to Black pin 14 in wire harness connector (as in step 4). Connect other lead to terminal #1 in sensor plug. Continuity should be indicated. Repeat test between Black pin 10 and terminal #2 in sensor plug.

a. If resistance is out of speciﬁ cations, check local

temperature. Sensor resistance will go down as temperature is higher. Replace TMAP sensor if determined to be faulty.

b. If it is within speciﬁ cations, proceed to Step 6.

6. Check circuits (input, ground), from main harness connector to sensor plug for continuity, damage, etc. Connect one ohmmeter lead to Black pin 8 in main harness connector (as in step 4). Connect other lead to terminal #3 in sensor plug. Continuity should be indicated. Repeat test between Black pin 10 and terminal #4 in sensor plug.

7. Reinstall sensor.

If a blink code indicates a problem with Manifold Absolute Pressure (TMAP) Sensor Circuit (P0107 or P0108), it can be tested as follows:

1. Make sure all connections are making proper contact and are free of dirt and debris. Slide locking tab out and pull off TMAP connector. Turn key switch to ON and check with a volt meter by contacting red lead to pin 1 and black lead to pin 2. There should be 5 volts present, indicating ECU and wiring harness are functioning.

2. Check continuity in wire harness. Ohms between Pin 3 at sensor connector and Black pin 11 connector at ECU should be near zero ohms. If no continuity is measured or very high resistance, replace wire harness.

3. Check to make sure intake manifold is not loose and TMAP sensor is not loose. Loose parts would allow a vacuum leak, making TMAP sensor report misleading information to ECU.

a. Tighten all hardware and perform an ECU Reset

and a TPS Learn Procedure to see if MIL will display a fault with sensor again. If MIL ﬁ nds a fault with TMAP sensor, replace it.

Temperature/Manifold Air Pressure (TMAP) Sensor

A sealed non-serviceable integrated sensor that checks both intake air temperature and manifold absolute pressure. Complete replacement is required if it is faulty. Sensor and wiring harness can be checked as follows.

If a blink code indicates a problem with Intake Air Temperature (TMAP) Sensor Circuit (P0112 or P0113), it can be tested as follows:

1. Remove TMAP sensor from intake manifold.

2. Allow it to reach room temperature (20°C, 68°F).

3. Unplug Black connector from ECU.

4. With sensor still connected, check temperature sensor circuit resistance between Black pin 10 and 8 pin terminals. Value should be 1850-2450 Ω.

5. Unplug sensor from wire harness and check sensor resistance separately across pin. Resistance value should again be 1850-2450 Ω.

Temperature must be controlled very accurately and gas constituents measured to a high degree of accuracy for absolute sensor measurements. This requires laboratory equipment to determine a good or bad sensor in ﬁ eld. Furthermore, as with most devices, intermittent problems are difﬁ cult to diagnose. Still, with a good understanding of system and sensor, it is possible to diagnose many sensor problems in ﬁ eld.

Using diagnostic software connected to ECU is a useful technique for observing sensor performance. However, user must understand that such software reads a signal generated by ECU. If there is an ECU or wiring problem, readings could be misinterpreted as a sensor problem. Digital nature of signal to software means that it is not reading continuous output of sensor. A voltmeter can also be used as an effective tool in diagnosing sensors. It is advisable to use an electronic meter such as a

digital voltmeter. Simple mechanical meters may place a heavy electrical load on sensor and cause inaccurate readings. Since resistance of sensor is highest at low temperatures, such meters will cause largest inaccuracies when sensor is in a cool exhaust.

Visual Inspection

1. Look for a damaged or disconnected sensor-toengine harness connection.

2. Look for damage to sensor lead wire or associated engine wiring due to cutting, chafﬁ ng or melting on a hot surface.

3. Disconnect sensor connector and look for corrosion in connector.

4. Try reconnecting sensor and observe if problem has cleared.

5. Correct any problems found during visual check.

Sensor Signal Observation NOTE: Do not cut into or pierce sensor or engine

wiring to make this connection. Sensor

produces a very small signal. Corrosion or damage to wiring could lead to an incorrect signal because of repairs or contamination to sensor.

1. Using a voltmeter or diagnostic software observe voltage before engine is started. With key ON, voltage should read about 1.0 volt. This voltage is generated by ECU. If it is not present, disconnect sensor and observe voltage at harness connector. If voltage is now present, there is a short in sensor or associated wiring and corrective action should be taken. If voltage still is not present, there is a problem with ECU or engine harness.

2. Reconnect sensor and start engine. Run engine at sufﬁ cient speed to bring sensor up to operating temperature. Maintain for 1 to 2 minutes to ensure that engine has gone closed loop. Once in closed loop, sensor voltage should cycle between about 100 to 250 mv and 700 to 900 mv. If this cycling is not observed, a determination must be made, if problem is with engine or sensor.

3. Check engine harness for battery voltage on heater circuit.

1. If sensor has heavy deposits on lower shield, engine, oil, or fuel may be source.

2. If heavy carbon deposits are observed, incorrect engine fuel control may be occurring.

3. If sensor is at room temperature, measure between signal leads, black wire (Pin C) and grey wire (Pin D) attached to sensor. If resistance is less than one megohm, sensor has an internal short.

4. With sensor at room temperature measure heater circuit resistance, purple wire (Pin A) and white wire (Pin B), resistance should be 8.1-11.1 Ω.

5. If a damaged sensor is found, identify root cause,

which may be elsewhere in application. Refer to Troubleshooting-Oxygen Sensor (O

6. A special "dry to touch" anti-seize compound is applied to all new oxygen sensors at factory. If recommended mounting thread sizes are used, this material provides excellent anti-seize capabilities and no additional anti-seize is needed. If sensor is removed from engine and reinstalled, anti-seize compound should be reapplied. Use an oxygen sensor safe type anti-seize compound. It should be applied according to directions on label.

NOTE: Do not apply voltage to fuel injector(s).

Excessive voltage will burn out injector(s). Do not ground injector(s) with ignition ON. Injector(s) will open/turn on if relay is energized.

NOTE: When cranking engine with injectors

disconnected, fault codes will be registered in ECU and will need to be cleared using software fault clear or an ECU Reset and TPS Learn Procedure.

Injector problems typically fall into three general categories: electrical, dirty/clogged, or leakage. An electrical problem usually causes one or both of injectors to stop functioning. Several methods may be used to check if injectors are operating.

1. With engine running at idle, listen for a buzzing or clicking sound.

2. Disconnect electrical connector from an injector and listen for a change in idle performance (only running on one cylinder) or a change in injector noise or vibration.

If an injector is not operating, it can indicate either a bad injector, or a wiring/electrical connection problem. Check as follows:

1. Disconnect electrical connector from both injectors. Plug a 12 volt noid light into one connector.

2. Make sure all safety switch requirements are met. Crank engine and check for ﬂ ashing of test light. Turn key OFF for at least 10 seconds between tests to allow ECU to go to sleep and reawake. Repeat test at other connector.

a. If ﬂ ashing occurs, use an ohmmeter (Rx1 scale)

and check resistance of each injector across two terminals. Proper resistance is 11-13 Ω. If injector resistance is correct, check whether connector and injector terminals are making a good connection. If resistance is not correct, replace injector.

Check all electrical connections, connectors, and wiring harness leads if resistance is incorrect.

Injector leakage is very unlikely, but in those rare instances it can be internal (past tip of valve needle), or external (weeping around injector O-rings). Loss of system pressure from leakage can cause hot restart problems and longer cranking times. Refer to Disassembly for removal of injector.

1. Remove manifold mounting bolts and separate throttle body/manifold from engine leaving TPS, high pressure fuel line, injectors and fuel line connections intact. Discard old gaskets.

2. Position manifold assembly over an appropriate container to capture fuel and turn key switch ON to activate fuel pump and pressurize system. Do not turn switch to START position.

NOTE: Fuel pump module pins are coated with a thin

layer of electrical grease to prevent fretting and corrosion. Do not attempt to remove electrical grease from fuel pump module pins.

3. If either injector exhibits leakage of more than two to four drops per minute from tip, or shows any sign of leakage around outer shell, turn ignition switch OFF and replace injector as follows.

4. Depressurize fuel system.

5. Clean any dirt accumulation from sealing/mounting area of faulty injector(s) and disconnect electrical connector(s).

6. Pull retaining clip off top of injector(s). Remove screw holding injector(s) from manifold.

7. Reverse appropriate procedures to install new injector(s) and reassemble engine. Use new O-rings and retaining clips any time an injector is removed (new replacement injectors include new O-rings and retaining clips). Lubricate O-rings lightly with clean engine oil. Use installation tool provided with O-rings to install new upper O-ring. Place tool into fuel injector inlet. Place one side of O-ring into O-ring groove and roll O-ring over tool onto fuel injector. Torque screw securing fuel injector caps to 7.3 N·m (65 in. lb.). An ECU Reset and TPS Learn Procedure will need to be completed.

EFI SYSTEM

Injector problems due to dirt or clogging are generally unlikely due to design of injectors, high fuel pressure, and detergent additives in gasoline. Symptoms that could be caused by dirty/clogged injectors include rough idle, hesitation/stumbling during acceleration, or triggering of fault codes related to fuel delivery. Injector clogging is usually caused by a buildup of deposits on director plate, restricting ﬂ ow of fuel, resulting in a poor spray pattern. Some contributing factors to injector clogging include higher than normal operating temperatures, short operating intervals, and dirty, incorrect, or poor quality fuel. Cleaning of clogged injectors is not recommended; they should be replaced. Additives and higher grades of fuel can be used as a preventative measure if clogging has been a problem.

Ignition Coils

This engine is equipped with dual-plug coils. Either they both ﬁ re or neither will ﬁ re. If a coil is determined to be faulty, replacement is necessary. An ohmmeter may be used to test wiring and coil windings.

NOTE: Do not ground primary coil with ignition ON as

they may overheat or spark.

NOTE: Always disconnect both spark plug leads from

spark plugs before performing following tests.

NOTE: If ignition coil(s) are disabled and an ignition

fault is registered, system will automatically disable corresponding fuel injector drive signal. Fault must be corrected to ignition coil

and ECU power (switch) must be turned OFF for 10 seconds for injector signal to return. This is a safety measure to prevent bore washing and oil dilution.

Testing

Using an ohmmeter set on Rx1 scale, check resistance in circuits as follows:

1. To check cylinder coil 1 (starter side), disconnect Black connector from ECU and test between Black pins 1 and 15. To check cylinder coil 2 (oil ﬁ lter side), disconnect Grey connector from ECU and test between Grey pins 10 and 17. Wiring and coil primary circuits are OK if readings are 0.85-1.15 

2. If reading(s) are not within speciﬁ ed range, check and clean connections and retest.

3. If reading(s) are still not within speciﬁ ed range, test coils separately from main harness as follows:

a. Remove mounting screws retaining coil and

disconnect primary leads connector.

b. Connect an ohmmeter set on Rx1 scale to

primary terminals of coil. Primary resistance should be 0.85-1.15 Ω.

c. Connect ohmmeter leads (set on Rx200K scale)

between both spark plug boot terminals. Secondary resistance should be 15000-25000 Ω.

d. If either primary or secondary resistance is not

within speciﬁ ed range, coil is faulty and needs to be replaced.

FUEL COMPONENTS

WARNING

Explosive Fuel can cause ﬁ res and severe burns.

Fuel system ALWAYS remains under HIGH PRESSURE.

Fuel Pump Module (FPM)

FPM is not serviceable and must be replaced if determined to be faulty. If a FPM problem is suspected, make certain pump is being activated, all electrical connections are properly secured and fuses are good. If required, testing of FPM may be conducted.

1. Relieve fuel pressure at FPM. FPM may need to be loosened or pulled away from engine. Press release button(s) and slowly pull connector away from FPM allowing shop towel to absorb any residual fuel in high pressure fuel line. Insert pressure test jumper (from Kohler EFI Service Kit) between high pressure fuel line and FPM.

2. Connect black hose of Pressure Tester. Route clear hose into a portable gasoline container or equipment fuel tank.

3. Turn on key switch to activate pump and check system pressure on gauge. It may take several key cycles to compress air introduced into system and reach regulated pressure. System pressure of 39 psi ± 3 should be present. Turn key switch OFF and depress valve button on tester to relieve system pressure.

a. If pressure is too high or too low, proceed to

troubleshooting.

4. If pump did not activate (step 3), conﬁ rm that safety system on equipment is not active. One potential cause of unnecessary FPM replacement may involve measuring voltage at FPM electrical connector. Using a Digital Volt Ohm Meter (DVOM) will provide a reading near battery voltage, even when ECU is not grounding FPM circuit.

a. Connect a DVOM across terminals in plug, turn

on key switch and conﬁ rm battery voltage is present during six second prime process.

b. Test light conﬁ rmation: Turn key off. Disconnect

DVOM. Connect 12 volt test light across terminals in plug. Key needs to remain off for a minimum of 30 seconds before proceeding. Turn key on. Conﬁ rm test light illuminates for approximately 6 seconds. After approximately 6 seconds, test light will remain off unless another prime cycle is initiated.

3719 690 01 Rev. -- KohlerEngines.com

Page 38

EFI SYSTEM

5. If battery voltage is not present and/or test light does not illuminate, connect red lead of DVOM to red wire of plug and black lead to a battery ground while key is still ON.

6. If battery voltage is present, turn key switch OFF and connect an ohmmeter between terminals on FPM to check for continuity. If battery voltage at plug was conﬁ rmed, and there was continuity across FPM terminals, reconnect plug to FPM, making sure you have a good connection. Turn on key switch and listen for FPM to activate.

a. If FPM starts, repeat steps 2 and 3 to verify correct pressure. b. If FPM still does not operate, replace it.

7. If battery voltage was not present at connector inspect fuse and wiring harness.

High Pressure Fuel Line

High pressure fuel line is mounted to bracket on intake manifold. No speciﬁ c servicing is required unless operating conditions indicate that it needs replacement. Thoroughly clean area around all joints and relieve any pressure before starting any disassembly. Detach by removing two mounting screws, wire ties, and injector retaining clips.

Purge Port and Vent Hose Assembly

No speciﬁ c servicing is required for vent hose assembly or purge port unless operating conditions indicate replacement is required. All components are serviced individually. Abrasion sleeves on hoses should be reused or replaced when servicing vent hoses. Please note vent hose routing and replicate after service or component replacement to prevent pinching or abrasion of vent hoses. Only Kohler replacement parts can be used because ﬁ tting is speciﬁ c to system and must be maintained. Visit KohlerEngines.com for recommended Kohler replacement parts.

Throttle Body/Intake Manifold Assembly

NOTE: ECU Reset is required if throttle body is replaced. Throttle body is serviced as an assembly, with throttle shaft, TPS, throttle plate, and idle speed adjusting screw

installed. Throttle shaft rotates on needle bearings (non-serviceable), capped with seals to prevent air leaks.

WARNING

High Pressure Fluids can puncture skin and cause severe injury or death.

Do not work on fuel system without proper training or safety equipment.

Fluid puncture injuries are highly toxic and hazardous. If an injury occurs, seek immediate medical attention.

Function of fuel system is to provide sufﬁ cient delivery of fuel at system operating pressure of 39 psi ± 3. If an engine starts hard, or turns over but will not start, it may indicate a problem with EFI fuel system. A quick test will verify if system is operating.

1. Disconnect and ground spark plug leads.

2. Complete all safety interlock requirements and crank engine for approximately 3 seconds.

3. Remove spark plugs and check for fuel at tips.

a. If there is fuel at tips of spark plugs fuel pump and

injectors are operating.

b. If there is no fuel at tips of spark plugs, check

following:

1. Make sure fuel tank contains clean, fresh,

proper fuel.

2. Make sure that vent in fuel tank is open.

61 End of Code Transmission

ECU continuously monitors engine operation against preset performance limits. If operation is outside limits, ECU activates MIL, if equipped, and stores a diagnostic code in its fault memory. If component or system returns to proper function, ECU will turn off MIL. If MIL stays illuminated, it warns customer a fault is currently happening, and dealer service is required. Upon receipt, dealer technician can access fault code(s) to help determine what portion of system is malfunctioning.

Codes are accessed through key switch and displayed as blinks or ﬂ ashes of MIL. Access codes as follows:

1. Check that battery voltage is above 11 volts.

2. Start with key switch OFF.

3. Turn key switch to ON and OFF, then ON and OFF,

then ON, leaving it on in third sequence. Do not start engine. Time between sequences must be less than

2.5 seconds.

4. MIL will blink a series of times. Number of times MIL

blinks represents a number in blink code.

5. A sequence of four digits make up a fault code.

There is a one (1) second pause between blinks of a fault code. There is a three (3) second pause between separate fault codes. After fault code(s) are blinked a two digit 61 is blinked to indicate program has completed.

a. It’s a good idea to write down codes as they

appear, as they may not be in numerical sequence.

b. Code 61 will always be last code displayed,

indicating end of code transmission. If code 61 appears immediately, no other fault codes are present.

After problem has been corrected, fault codes may be cleared by following ECU Reset and TPS Learn Procedures.

Diagnostic Fault Code Summary lists fault codes, and what they correspond to. Diagnostic Code Summary is a list of individual codes with an explanation of what triggers them, what symptoms might be expected, and probable causes.

EFI SYSTEM

A MIL may not be provided with engine. If equipment manufacturer has not added a MIL to equipment, one can be added easily for quick diagnostics. Main engine to vehicle connection will have a tan wire which is ground for MIL. Either incandescent or LED type bulbs can be used for MIL as long as they do not draw more than 0.1 amps. Bulb needs to be rated at 1.4 Watts or less, or needs to have a total resistance of 140 Ω or more. LEDs typically draw less than 0.03 amps. Attach +12 volts to positive terminal of bulb and attach ground terminal of bulb to tan wire.

GOVERNOR

These engines are equipped with an electronic governor or a mechanical governor.

ELECTRONIC GOVERNOR Components

Governor System

E Connector F

Electronic governor regulates engine speed at varying loads. Typical electronic governor includes:

● Digital linear actuator (DLA).

● Throttle linkage.

● Linkage spring.

● Linkage retaining clip.

● Governor control unit (GCU).

Digital Linear Actuator (DLA)

Energizing bi-directional digital linear actuator coils in proper sequence, causes threaded shaft to move out of, or back into rotor, in precise linear increments. When power is removed, actuator shaft remains in position. DLA must initialize (fully extend) to move throttle plate to closed position, and partially open for starting. Correct adjustment of DLA is critical to achieve full range of throttle plate movement. See Adjustment.

Governor control unit (GCU) senses engine speed by pulse voltage inputs from EFI ECU module. GCU regulates engine speed by variable input voltage from a customer-supplied source.

NOTE: Actual speeds depend on application. Refer to

DLA must be in fully retracted position during assembly. Full range of throttle plate movement will not be achieved if DLA is partially extended when assembled. Loosen DLA mounting plate screws located on side of actuator plate. With throttle linkage secured with a retaining clip at end of DLA shaft, slide DLA bracket assembly back until throttle plate is fully open. Torque mounting nuts to 10.2 N·m (90 in. lb.).

Proper link/spring assembly is critical. Insert spring hook tab of spring through DLA clevis hole until it exits opposite side, and tab of spring is allowed to snap into position. Hook opposite “hook” end of spring through throttle body lever adapter hole before inserting z-bend of link into throttle body lever adapter. Pay close attention not to stretch/over extend spring or damage to spring may occur.

If clevis shaft becomes overextended or disconnected from actuator reinstall as follows:

1. Disconnect linkage and remove DLA from bracket.

2. Remove clevis shaft completely out of DLA.

3. Reinstall rubber boot onto DLA if required.

4. Place clevis shaft into actuator. Rotate clevis shaft clockwise 3 full turns, applying slight pressure, until you feel clevis shaft keyway make contact with key in actuator. When clevis shaft is installed properly ﬂ at of clevis will be aligned with two mounting holes.

NOTE: Continuing to rotate clevis shaft after it has

made contact with keyway will damage keyway or actuator.

5. Conﬁ rm that key and keyway are in alignment, by hand, press clevis shaft into actuator. It will take a reasonable amount of pressure to do this. If shaft will not move inward, do not force it. Remove clevis shaft and repeat previous step.

6. Reinstall DLA into bracket, torque screws to 4.1 N·m (35 in. lb.), and connect linkage.

GCU/Harness Diagnostics and Troubleshooting

NOTE: It is important to use proper sized probes to

perform these tests. Probes that are incorrect size can damage connector or harness plug.

Ground and Power Tests

1. Switch key to OFF position.

2. Remove GCU from bracket and unplug wiring harness.

These two tests check for power and ground supply to GCU. If either test fails, check if harness, electrical connections, or electrical system need repair.

Test 1 Probe Location

A Probe Location for Ground Test 1.

Test 1: Identify probe location in connector. Using a continuity tester, check for a good ground. If ground is faulty, inspect unit ground, battery ground, connectors, and wiring harness. Clean or ﬁ x connections or replace any faulty parts.

If test 1 checks OK, locate probe location in connector, and check using test 2.

Test 2 Probe Location

A Probe Location for Voltage Test 2.

Test 2: Identify probe location in connector. Using a 12 volt meter test for voltage. Turn key switch to ON position. Voltage should be within +/- 1 volt of battery voltage. If voltage is within +/- 1 volt of battery voltage, harness is OK, replace GCU. If not within +/- 1 volt of battery voltage, check connections and replace wiring harness if necessary.

Ohms Tests

1. Remove GCU from bracket and unplug wiring harness.

These two tests are for measuring resistance of DLA circuit that sends a signal to GCU. If either test fails, DLA is no good and should be replaced. If both tests are good, DLA is neither shorted or open, it is good. Another component, connection, or input is most likely at fault.

Test 2 Probe Location

A Probe Locations for OHMs Test 2.

Test 2: Identify probe locations in connector. Using a digital multi-meter set to lowest scale (0-200 ohms), place probes onto harness making sure of a good connection. Resistance should be between 47.7 and

58.3 ohms. If either test 1 or 2 fail resistance test, fault could also

be caused by a break/cut in wiring harness. Inspect and test for a potential harness issue prior to replacing DLA assembly.

Governor System

MECHANICAL GOVERNOR

Governed speed setting is determined by position of throttle control. It can be variable or constant, depending on engine application.

Governor is designed to hold engine speed constant under changing load conditions. Governor gear/ﬂ yweight mechanism is mounted inside oil pan and is driven off gear on camshaft.

Components

Inside Engine

A Governor Lever B Governor Spring C Governor Linkage D Linkage Spring

I Governor Gear J Flyweight K Regulating Pin

This governor design works as follows:

● Centrifugal force acting on rotating governor gear assembly causes ﬂ yweights to move outward as speed

increases. Governor spring tension moves them inward as speed decreases.

● As ﬂ yweights move outward, they cause regulating pin to move outward.

● Regulating pin contacts tab on cross shaft causing shaft to rotate.

● One end of cross shaft protrudes through crankcase. Rotating action of cross shaft is transmitted to throttle lever of

throttle body through external linkage.

● When engine is at rest, and throttle is in FAST position, tension of governor spring holds throttle plate open. When

engine is operating, governor gear assembly is rotating. Force applied by regulating pin against cross shaft tends to close throttle plate. Governor spring tension and force applied by regulating pin balance each other during operation, to maintain engine speed.

● When load is applied and engine speed and governor gear speed decreases, governor spring tension moves

governor lever to open throttle plate wider. This allows more fuel into engine, increasing engine speed. As speed reaches governed setting, governor spring tension and force applied by regulating pin will again offset each other to hold a steady engine speed.

SPARK PLUGS

CAUTION

Electrical Shock can cause injury. Do not touch wires while engine is running.

Spark Plug Component and Details

Inspection

Inspect each spark plug as it is removed from cylinder head. Deposits on tip are an indication of general condition of piston rings, valves, and carburetor.

Normal and fouled plugs are shown in following photos:

Normal

Plug taken from an engine operating under normal conditions will have light tan or gray colored deposits. If center electrode is not worn, plug can be set to proper gap and reused.

Worn

A Wire Gauge B Spark Plug

C Ground Electrode D Gap

NOTE: Do not clean spark plug in a machine using

abrasive grit. Some grit could remain in spark plug and enter engine causing extensive wear and damage.

Engine misﬁ re or starting problems are often caused by a spark plug that has improper gap or is in poor condition.

Engine is equipped with following spark plugs:

Gap 0.76 mm (0.03 in.) Thread Size 12 mm Reach 19.1 mm (3/4 in.) Hex Size 15.9 mm (5/8 in.)

Refer to Maintenance for Repairs/Service Parts.

Service

Clean out spark plug recess. Remove plug and replace.

1. Check gap using wire feeler gauge. Adjust gap to

0.76 mm (0.03 in.).

2. Install plug into cylinder head.

3. Torque plug to 27 N·m (20 ft. lb.).

On a worn plug, center electrode will be rounded and gap will be greater than speciﬁ ed gap. Replace a worn spark plug immediately.

Wet Fouled

A wet plug is caused by excess fuel or oil in combustion chamber. Excess fuel could be caused by a restricted air cleaner, a carburetor problem, or operating engine with too much choke. Oil in combustion chamber is usually caused by a restricted air cleaner, a breather problem, worn piston rings, or valve guides.

6119 690 01 Rev. -- KohlerEngines.com

Page 62

Electrical System

Carbon Fouled

Soft, sooty, black deposits indicate incomplete combustion caused by a restricted air cleaner, over rich carburetion, weak ignition, or poor compression.

Overheated

BATTERY

A 12-volt battery with 400 cold cranking amps (cca) is generally recommended for starting in all conditions. A smaller capacity battery is often sufﬁ cient if an application is started only in warmer temperatures. Refer to following table for minimum capacities based on anticipated ambient temperatures. Actual cold cranking requirement depends on engine size, application, and starting temperatures. Cranking requirements increase as temperatures decrease and battery capacity shrinks. Refer to equipment's operating instructions for speciﬁ c battery requirements.

Battery Size Recommendations

Temperature Battery Required

Above 32°F (0°C) 200 cca minimum

0°F to 32°F (-18°C to 0°C) 250 cca minimum

-5°F to 0°F (-21°C to -18°C) 300 cca minimum

-10°F (-23°C) or below 400 cca minimum

If battery charge is insufﬁ cient to turn over engine, recharge battery.

Battery Maintenance

Regular maintenance is necessary to prolong battery life.

Chalky, white deposits indicate very high combustion temperatures. This condition is usually accompanied by excessive gap erosion. Lean carburetor settings, an intake air leak, or incorrect spark timing are normal causes for high combustion temperatures.

Battery Test

To test battery, follow manufacturer's instructions.

Troubleshooting Guide

20/25 Amp Battery Charging System

NOTE: Always zero ohmmeter on each scale before

testing to ensure accurate readings. Voltage tests should be made with engine running at 3600 RPM - no load. Battery must be good and fully charged.

When problems occur in keeping battery charged or battery charges at too high a rate, problem can usually be found somewhere in charging system or with battery.

To test charging system for no charge to battery:

1. Insert an ammeter in B+ lead from rectiﬁ er-regulator. With engine running at 3600 RPM and B+ (at terminal on rectiﬁ er-regulator) to ground using a DC voltmeter.

If voltage is 13.8 volts or more, place a minimum

load of 5 amps (turn on lights if 60 watts or more, or place a 2.5 ohm, 100 watt resistor across battery terminals) on battery to reduce voltage. Observe ammeter.

Rectiﬁ er-regulator is faulty and should not be used.

Condition Conclusion

Resistance is 0.064/0.2 ohms.

Resistance is 0 ohms. Stator is shorted; replace. Resistance is inﬁ nity

ohms.

4. With engine stopped, measure resistance from each stator lead to ground using an ohmmeter.

Condition Conclusion

Resistance is inﬁ nity ohms (no continuity).

Resistance (or continuity) measured.

To test charging system for battery continuously charging at high rate:

1. With engine running at 3600 RPM, measure voltage from B+ lead to ground using a DC voltmeter.

Stator is OK.

Stator is open; replace.

Stator is OK (not shorted to ground).

Stator leads are shorted to ground; replace.

Condition Conclusion

Charge rate increases when load is applied.

Charge rate does not increase when load is applied.

2. Remove connector from rectiﬁ er-regulator. With engine running at 3600 RPM, measure AC voltage across stator leads using an AC voltmeter.

Condition Conclusion

Voltage is 28 volts or more.

Voltage is less than 28 volts.

3. With engine stopped, measure resistance across stator leads using an ohmmeter.

Charging system is OK and battery was fully charged.

Test stator and rectiﬁ er- regulator (steps 2 and 3).

Stator is OK. Rectiﬁ er- regulator is faulty; replace.

Stator is faulty; replace. Test stator further using an ohmmeter (steps 3 and 4).

Condition Conclusion

Voltage is 14.7 volts or less.

Voltage is more than 14.7 volts.

Charging system is OK. Battery is unable to hold charge; service or replace.

Faulty rectiﬁ er-regulator; replace.

After cleaning, check ﬂ atness of cylinder head and corresponding top surface of crankcase using a surface plate or piece of glass and feeler gauge. Maximum allowable out of ﬂ atness is 0.08 mm (0.0031 in.).

Carefully inspect valve mechanism parts. Inspect valve springs and related hardware for excessive wear or distortion. Check valves and valve seat area or inserts for evidence of deep pitting, cracks, or distortion. Check clearance of valve stems in guides.

Hard starting or loss of power accompanied by high fuel consumption may be symptoms of faulty valves. Although these symptoms could also be attributed to worn rings, remove and check valves ﬁ rst. After removal, clean valve heads, faces, and stems with a power wire brush.

Then, carefully inspect each valve for defects such as a warped head, excessive corrosion, or a worn stem end. Replace valves found to be in bad condition.

Disassembly/Inspection and Service

Valve Guides

If a valve guide is worn beyond speciﬁ cations, it will not guide valve in a straight line. This may result in burnt valve faces or seats, loss of compression, and excessive oil consumption.

To check valve guide-to-valve stem clearance, thoroughly clean valve guide and, using a split-ball gauge, measure inside diameter of guide. Then, using an outside micrometer, measure diameter of valve stem at several points on stem where it moves in valve guide. Use largest stem diameter to calculate clearance by subtracting stem diameter from guide diameter. If intake clearance exceeds 0.038/0.076 mm (0.0015/0.0030 in.) or exhaust clearance exceeds 0.050/0.088 mm (0.0020/0.0035 in.), determine if valve stem or guide is responsible for excessive clearance.

Maximum (I.D.) wear on intake valve guide is 7.132 mm (0.2808 in.) and 7.157 mm (0.2818 in.) for exhaust guide. Guides are not removable but can be reamed

0.25 mm (0.010 in.) oversize. Valves with 0.25 mm oversize stems must then be used.

If guides are within limits but valve stems are worn beyond limits, install new valves.

Valve Seat Inserts

Hardened steel alloy intake and exhaust valve seat inserts are press ﬁ tted into cylinder head. Inserts are not replaceable but can be reconditioned if not too badly pitted or distorted. If cracked or badly warped, cylinder head should be replaced.

Recondition valve seat inserts following instructions provided with valve seat cutter being used. Final cut should be made with an 89° cutter as speciﬁ ed for valve seat angle. Cutting proper 45° valve face angle as speciﬁ ed, and proper valve seat angle (44.5°, half of full 89° angle), will achieve desired 0.5° (1.0° full cut) interference angle where maximum pressure occurs on outside diameters of valve face and seat.

Lapping Valves

NOTE: Exhaust valves that are black in color cannot be

ground and do not require lapping.

Reground or new valves must be lapped in, to provide proper ﬁ t. Use a hand valve grinder with a suction cup for ﬁ nal lapping. Lightly coat valve face with a ﬁ ne grade of grinding compound, then rotate valve on its seat with grinder. Continue grinding until a smooth surface is obtained on seat and on valve face. Thoroughly clean cylinder head in soap and hot water to remove all traces of grinding compound. After drying cylinder head, apply a light coating of SAE 10 oil to prevent rusting.

Valve Stem Seals

These engines use valve stem seals on intake and exhaust valves. Always use new seals when valves are removed from cylinder head. Seals should also be replaced if deteriorated or damaged in any way. Never reuse an old seal.

Top Compression

G Rails H Expander

Scufﬁ ng and scoring of pistons and cylinder walls occurs when internal engine temperatures approach welding point of piston. Temperatures high enough to do this are created by friction, which is usually attributed to improper lubrication and/or overheating of engine.

Normally, very little wear takes place in piston bosspiston pin area. If original piston and connecting rod can be reused after new rings are installed, original pin can also be reused but new piston pin retainers are required. Piston pin is included as part of piston assembly – if pin boss in piston or pin are worn or damaged, a new piston assembly is required.

Ring failure is usually indicated by excessive oil consumption and blue exhaust smoke. When rings fail, oil is allowed to enter combustion chamber where it is burned along with fuel. High oil consumption can also occur when piston ring end gap is incorrect because ring cannot properly conform to cylinder wall under this condition. Oil control is also lost when ring gaps are not staggered during installation.

Ring

Oil Control Ring

(3 Piece)

Center

Compression Ring

When cylinder temperatures get too high, lacquer and varnish collect on pistons causing rings to stick, which results in rapid wear. A worn ring usually takes on a shiny or bright appearance.

Scratches on rings and pistons are caused by abrasive material such as carbon, dirt, or pieces of hard metal.

Detonation damage occurs when a portion of fuel charge ignites spontaneously from heat and pressure shortly after ignition. This creates 2 ﬂ ame fronts which meet and explode to create extreme hammering pressures on a speciﬁ c area of piston. Detonation generally occurs from using low octane fuels.

Preignition or ignition of fuel charge before timed spark can cause damage similar to detonation. Preignition damage is often more severe than detonation damage. Preignition is caused by a hot spot in combustion chamber from sources such as glowing carbon deposits, blocked cooling ﬁ ns, an improperly seated valve, or wrong spark plug(s).

Replacement pistons are available in STD bore size, and in 0.25 mm (0.010 in.), and 0.50 mm (0.020 in.) oversize. Replacement pistons include new piston ring sets and new piston pins.

Replacement ring sets are also available separately for STD, 0.25 mm (0.010 in.), and 0.50 mm (0.020 in.) oversize pistons. Always use new piston rings when installing pistons. Never reuse old rings.

Some important points to remember when servicing piston rings:

1. Cylinder bore must be deglazed before service ring sets are used.

2. If cylinder bore does not need reboring and if old piston is within wear limits and free of score or scuff marks, old piston may be reused.

3. Remove old rings and clean up grooves. Never reuse old rings.

4. Before installing new rings on piston, place top 2 rings, each in turn, in its running area in cylinder bore and check end gap. Compare ring gap to tolerance listed in Speciﬁ cations.

5. After installing new compression (top and middle) rings on piston, check piston-to-ring side clearance. Compare clearance to tolerance listed in Speciﬁ cations. If side clearance is greater than speciﬁ ed, a new piston must be used.

Inspect gear teeth of crankshaft. If teeth are badly worn, chipped, or some are missing, replacement of crankshaft will be necessary.

Inspect crankshaft bearing surfaces for scoring, grooving, etc. Measure running clearance between crankshaft journals and their respective bearing bores. Use an inside micrometer or telescoping gauge to measure inside diameter of both bearing bores in vertical and horizontal planes. Use an outside micrometer to measure outside diameter of crankshaft main bearing journals. Subtract journal diameters from their respective bore diameters to get running clearances. Check results against values in Speciﬁ cations. If running clearances are within speciﬁ cation, and there is no evidence of scoring, grooving, etc., no further reconditioning is necessary. If bearing surfaces are worn or damaged, crankcase and/or oil pan will need to be replaced.

Inspect crankshaft keyways. If they are worn or chipped, replacement of crankshaft will be necessary.

Inspect crankpin for score marks or metallic pickup. Slight score marks can be cleaned with crocus cloth soaked in oil. If wear limits, as stated in Clearance Speciﬁ cations, are exceeded, it will be necessary to replace crankshaft or regrind crankpin to 0.25 mm (0.010 in.) undersize. If reground, a 0.25 mm (0.010 in.) undersize connecting rod (big end) must then be used to achieve proper running clearance. Measure crankpin for size, taper, and out-of-round.

Connecting rod journal can be ground 1 size under. When grinding a crankshaft, grinding stone deposits can get caught in oil passages, which could cause severe engine damage. Removing crankpin plug when crankshaft is ground provides easy access for removing any grinding deposits that may collect in oil passages.

Use following procedure to remove and replace plug.

Remove Crankshaft Plug

1. Drill a 3/16 in. hole through plug in crankshaft.

2. Thread a 3/4 in. or 1 in. long self-tapping screw with a ﬂ at washer into drilled hole. Flat washer must be large enough to seat against shoulder of plug bore.

3. Tighten self-tapping screw until it draws plug out of crankshaft.

Install New Crankshaft Plug

Use 1 single cylinder camshaft pin, as a driver and tap plug into plug bore until it seats at bottom of bore. Make sure plug is tapped in evenly to prevent leakage.

Remove Flywheel End Oil Seal

Remove oil seal from crankcase using a seal puller.

Crankcase

Inspection and Service

Check all gasket surfaces to make sure they are free of gasket fragments. Gasket surfaces must also be free of deep scratches or nicks.

Check cylinder bore for scoring. In severe cases, unburned fuel can cause scufﬁ ng and scoring of cylinder wall. It washes necessary lubricating oils off piston and cylinder wall. As raw fuel seeps down cylinder wall, piston rings make metal to metal contact with wall. Scoring of cylinder wall can also be caused by localized hot spots resulting from blocked cooling ﬁ ns or from inadequate or contaminated lubrication.

If cylinder bore is badly scored, excessively worn, tapered, or out-of-round, resizing is necessary. Use an inside micrometer to determine amount of wear, then select nearest suitable oversize of either 0.25 mm (0.010 in.) or 0.50 mm (0.020 in.). Resizing to these oversizes will allow usage of available oversize piston and ring assemblies. Initially, resize using a boring bar, then use following procedures for honing cylinder.

Honing Detail

A 23°-33° Crosshatch

NOTE: Kohler pistons are custom-machined to exacting

tolerances. When oversizing a cylinder, it should be machined exactly 0.25 mm (0.010 in.) or

0.50 mm (0.020 in.) over new diameter. corresponding oversize Kohler replacement piston will then ﬁ t correctly.

While most commercially available cylinder hones can be used with either portable drills or drill presses, use of a low speed drill press is preferred as it facilitates more accurate alignment of bore in relation to crankshaft crossbore. Honing is best accomplished at a drill speed of about 250 RPM and 60 strokes per minute. After installing coarse stones in hone, proceed as follows:

1. Lower hone into bore and after centering, adjust so stones are in contact with cylinder wall. Use of a commercial cutting-cooling agent is recommended.

2. With lower edge of each stone positioned even with lowest edge of bore, start drill and honing process. Move hone up and down while resizing to prevent formation of cutting ridges. Check size frequently.

3. When bore is within 0.064 mm (0.0025 in.) of desired size, remove coarse stones and replace them with burnishing stones. Continue with burnishing stones until bore is within 0.013 mm (0.0005 in.) of desired size and then use ﬁ nish stones (220-280 grit) and polish bore to its ﬁ nal size. A crosshatch should be observed if honing is done correctly. Crosshatch should intersect at approximately 23°-33° off horizontal. Too ﬂ at an angle could cause rings to skip and wear excessively, and too steep an angle will result in high oil consumption.

Page 85

Disassembly/Inspection and Service

4. After resizing, check bore for roundness, taper, and size. Use an inside micrometer, telescoping gauge, or bore gauge to take measurements. These measurements should be taken at 3 locations in cylinder – at top, middle, and bottom. There are 2 measurements that should be taken

(perpendicular to each other) at all 3 locations.

Clean Cylinder Bore After Honing

Proper cleaning of cylinder walls following boring and/ or honing is very critical to a successful overhaul. Machining grit left in cylinder bore can destroy an engine in less than 1 hour of operation after a rebuild.

Final cleaning operation should always be a thorough scrubbing with a brush and hot, soapy water. Use a strong detergent that is capable of breaking down machining oil while maintaining a good level of suds. If suds break down during cleaning, discard dirty water and start again with more hot water and detergent. Following scrubbing, rinse cylinder with very hot, clear water, dry it completely, and apply a light coating of engine oil to prevent rusting.

Measuring Piston-to-Bore Clearance Piston Detail

Before installing piston into cylinder bore, it is necessary that clearance be accurately checked. This step is often overlooked, and if piston thrust face-to-cylinder bore running clearance is not within 0.026/0.069 mm (0.0010/0.0027 in.), engine failure will usually result.

Use following procedure to accurately measure pistonto-bore clearance:

1. Use a micrometer and measure diameter of piston 11 mm (0.4331 in.) above bottom of piston skirt and perpendicular to piston pin.

2. Use an inside micrometer, telescoping gauge, or bore gauge and measure cylinder bore. Take measurement approximately 63.5 mm (2.5 in.) below top of bore and perpendicular to piston pin.

3. Piston-to-bore clearance is difference between bore diameter and piston diameter (step 2 minus step 1).

A 11 mm (0.4331 in.)

NOTE: Do not use a feeler gauge to measure piston-to-

bore clearance; it will yield inaccurate measurements. Always use a micrometer.
