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 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
Rotating Parts can cause severe injury. Stay away while engine is in operation.

WARNING
Condition Conclusion
Crankcase breather clogged or inoperative. NOTE: If breather is integral part of valve cover and
cannot be serviced separately, replace valve cover and recheck pressure.
Disassemble breather, clean parts thoroughly, check sealing surfaces for fl atness, reassemble, and recheck pressure.
Seals and/or gaskets leaking. Loose or improperly torque fasteners.
Piston blow by or leaky valves (confi rm by inspecting components).

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.

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 suf 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 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 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.

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.
