 kohler problem I have a 27hp kohler engine has 395 hrs on it and just recently started killing while its running. The engine will start right back up after it dies. When motor is at high rpms it kills faster then it would if it was at low rpms. Checked bulb and fuel filter still has gas in both. I tried everything i could think of and it still dies. Any suggestions?

Re: kohler problem Maybe your carb needs to be cleaned. The jets and float can cause some crazy things.

Re: kohler problem I had carb cleaned about a week ago. Thought that maybe it was a oil sensor so i disconnected the oil sensor and it still kills. Some times it will run for ten minutes without killing and sometimes it will run for 3 minutes and it will kill
