Section CV11-16 3 CV460-465, Troubleshooting CV490-495 Go Back Section 3 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Guide When troubles occur, be sure to check the simple causes which, at first, may seem too obvious to be considered. For example, a starting problem could be caused by an empty fuel tank. Some common causes of engine troubles are listed below. Use these to locate the causing factors. Engine Cranks But Will Not Start 1. Empty fuel tank. 2. Fuel shut-off valve closed. 3.
Section 3 Troubleshooting Engine Loses Power 1. Low crankcase oil level. 2. High crankcase oil level. 3. Dirty air cleaner element. 4. Dirt or water in the fuel system. 5. Excessive engine load. 6. Engine overheated. 7. Faulty spark plug. 8. Low compression. 9. Exhaust restriction. Engine Uses Excessive Amount Of Oil 1. Incorrect oil viscosity/type. 2. Clogged or improperly-assembled breather. 3. Crankcase being overfilled. 4. Worn or broken piston rings. 5. Worn cylinder bore. 6.
Section 3 Troubleshooting 2. Start the engine and run at no-load, high idle speed (3200 to 3750 RPM). Basic Engine Tests Crankcase Vacuum Test A partial vacuum should be present in the crankcase when the engine is operating at normal temperatures. Pressure in the 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 a water manometer or vacuum/pressure test gauge.
Section 3 Troubleshooting Compression Test These engines are equipped with an automatic compression release (ACR) mechanism. Because of the ACR mechanism, it is difficult to obtain an accurate compression reading. As an alternate, use the leakdown test described below. Cylinder Leakdown Test A cylinder leakdown test can be a valuable alternative to a compression test. By pressurizing the combustion chamber from an external air source you can determine if the valves or rings are leaking, and how badly.
CV11-16 Section 4 CV490-495 Air CleanerCV460-465, and Air Intake System Go Back Section 4 Air Cleaner and Air Intake System Air Cleaner Air Duct These engines are equipped with a replaceable, high density paper air cleaner element and most also have the optional oiled, foam precleaner which surrounds the paper element. Two basic types of air cleaners are used. The original configuration is shown in Figure 4-1 and the later configuration in Figure 4-2.
Section 4 Air Cleaner and Air Intake System On these, air is drawn in around the bottom of the cover, or from the blower housing, rather than from slots. The flat base allows debris to be brushed away before the paper element is removed. All types can use either the standard size element or a higher, extra capacity paper element. The original type uses a separate cover retaining knob which has to be turned completely off to remove the cover.
Section 4 Air Cleaner and Air Intake System NOTE: Damaged, worn, or loose air cleaner components can allow unfiltered air into the engine causing premature wear and failure. Tighten or replace all loose or damaged components. Disassembly The following procedure is for complete disassembly of all air cleaner components. 1. Loosen the air cleaner cover retaining knob and remove the air cleaner cover. 2. Remove the wing nut and air cleaner element. 3.

Section 5 Fuel System and Governor If these check out, the solenoid should be removed for bench testing. Remember to shut off fuel supply and catch any fuel spilling from the carburetor as the solenoid is removed. Bench test the solenoid by grounding the solenoid case and applying 12 volt DC to the spade terminal. If the plunger does not retract in this test, the solenoid is faulty and must be replaced. Always use a new fuel bowl gasket whenever the solenoid is installed.
Section 5 Fuel System and Governor Troubleshooting - LPG Systems Adjust Carburetor If engine troubles are experienced that appear to be caused by the carburetor, check the following areas before adjusting the carburetor. • 1. With the engine stopped, reset the main fuel setting by closing the adjusting screw until it bottoms then turn it 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 turns open (see Figure 5-16).* Make sure the air cleaner element is clean and all air cleaner components are fastened securely.
Section 5 Fuel System and Governor Kohler Emission Sentry™ System Some Kohler Command engines are equipped with the Emission Sentry™ System. Emission Sentry™ is a feature which assures the operator that the exhaust emission levels of the engine are well within safe exposure limits. The system does not require any additional daily maintenance beyond the schedule normally specified for Command engines. Principle of Operation The Emission Sentry™ System can be broken down into two functions.
Section 5 Fuel System and Governor 2. The stepper motor, electronic control unit (ECU) and oxygen sensor can all be checked with the Kohler Emission Sentry™ Tester (Kohler Part No. 12 761 07-S). a. Separate the plug connector between the electronic control unit (ECU) and the stepper motor. Plug the separated connectors into the mating connectors on the Emission Sentry™ Tester. Connect the single black lead to battery negative or a good ground on the engine/unit.
Section 5 Fuel System and Governor When the engine is at rest, and the throttle is in the ‘‘fast’’ position, the tension of the governor spring holds the throttle plate open. When the engine is operating (the governor gear assembly is rotating), the force applied by the regulating pin against the cross shaft tends to close the throttle plate. The governor spring tension and the force applied by the regulating pin are in ‘‘equilibrium‘‘ during operation, holding the engine speed nearly constant. 1.
Section 5 Fuel System and Governor 1. Make sure the throttle cable is adjusted properly (see ‘‘Throttle Cable Adjustment"). 2. Start the engine and allow it to warm up. Place the throttle control lever into the ‘‘fast’’ or high idle position. 3. Align the hole in the throttle lever with the hole in the speed control bracket by inserting a pencil or 6.35 mm (1/4 in.) drill bit. See Figure 5-21. Cold Engine Warm Engine Figure 5-20. Typical Throttle/Choke Controls. 4.
Section 5 Fuel System and Governor Choke Adjustment This procedure must follow the "High Idle Speed Adjustment" just described. If not already completed, perform that operation first. 1. Turn the choke adjusting screw out (counterclockwise), until it no longer contacts the choke lever. Then turn it back in (clockwise), until it just makes contact. Governor Lever 2. While observing the choke link, move the throttle control lever to the low idle (slow) position, then back to full throttle (fast).
Section 5 Fuel System and Governor 2. Position the application throttle control in the full (fast) throttle position. Then move the throttle lever back 3/16" or 4.75 mm. Insert the cable boden wire into the throttle control lever on the control plate. 2. Position the choke cable under the cable clamp. 3. Position the throttle cable under the cable clamp. 4. Push on the choke cable, above the clamp on the engine control plate, until the choke lever stops. Then tighten the cable clamp screw. 4.
Section 5 Fuel System and Governor Starting an Engine Equipped with Separate Control Cables 1. Place the throttle control midway between the "slow" and "fast" positions. Place the choke control into the "on" position. 7. Turn the high idle stop screw inward (clockwise) until it stops against the throttle control lever. Then tighten the stop screw retaining nut. 8. Recheck high idle RPM to assure the required RPM has been obtained. 2. Start the engine. 3.

Section 6 Lubrication System 4. Reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick and tighten securely. NOTE: To prevent extensive engine wear or damage, always maintain the proper oil level in the crankcase. Never operate the engine with the oil level below the ‘‘L’’ mark or over the ‘‘F’’ mark on the dipstick. Change Oil Filter Replace the oil filter every other oil change (every 200 hours of operation). Always use a genuine Kohler oil filter.
Section 6 Lubrication System Figure 6-9. Engine Mounted Oil Filter. Figure 6-7. Oil Pickup. Oil Sentry™ Oil Pressure Relief Valve Some engines are equipped with an optional Oil Sentry™ oil pressure monitor. If the oil pressure gets low, Oil Sentry™ will either shut off the engine or activate a warning signal, depending on the application. Operation The pressure switch is designed to break contact as the oil pressure increases and make contact as the oil pressure decreases.
Section 6 Lubrication System Installation The pressure switch is installed in the oil filter adapter, in one of the main oil galleries of the oil pan. See Figure 6-10. On engines not equipped with Oil Sentry™, the installation hole is sealed with a 1/8-27 N.P.T.F. pipe plug. Testing the Oil Sentry™ Switch The Oil Sentry™ pressure monitor is a normally-closed switch. It is calibrated to open (break contact) with increasing pressure and close (make contact) with decreasing pressure, within the range of 2.

The CV16 engines are equipped with an electronic capacitive discharge ignition system with electronic spark advance.
Section 8 Electrical System and Components Operation As the flywheel rotates, the magnet grouping passes the input coil (L1) of the ignition module, inducing energy in the coil. The resultant pulse is rectified by diode (D1) and charges capacitor (C1). Current from the same pulse also travels through the brown lead to the spark advance module (SAM), and enters the input of the conditioning circuit. The conditioning circuit shapes this pulse, putting it in a useable form for the other circuits.
Section 8 Electrical System and Components Troubleshooting CD Ignition Systems The CD ignition system is designed to be trouble-free for the life of the engine. Other than periodically checking/replacing the spark plug, no maintenance or timing adjustment is necessary or possible. Mechanical systems do occasionally fail or break down, however, so the following troubleshooting information is provided to help you get to the root of a reported problem.
Section 8 Electrical System and Components 4. Remove the blower housing from the engine. a. Trace the black ground lead from the SAM and check that the ground tab and terminal connections are all tight. Recheck voltage at engine connector. If voltage is still low, check battery, key switch, and wiring on unit. b. When you are certain there is proper voltage at the connector, retest for spark. If there is still no spark, proceed to step 5. 5. If you skipped step 4, remove the blower housing at this time.

The inertia drive types are covered first and the solenoid shift type is covered starting on page 8.23. NOTE: If the starter does not crank the engine, shut off the starter immediately. Do not make further attempts to start the engine until the condition is corrected. NOTE: Do not drop the starter or strike the starter frame.
Section 8 Electrical System and Components Operation - Inertia Drive Starters When power is applied to the starter, the armature rotates. As the armature rotates, the drive pinion moves out on the splined drive shaft and into mesh with the flywheel ring gear. When the pinion reaches the end of the drive shaft, it rotates the flywheel and “cranks” the engine. When the engine starts, the flywheel rotates faster than the starter armature and drive pinion.
Section 8 Electrical System and Components Style "B" Drive Service 1. The rubber dust cover has a molded lip on the inside that snaps into a groove in the dust cover spacer (see Figure 8-17). Turn the drive pinion clockwise until it reaches the fully extended position. While holding it in the extended position, grasp the tip of the dust cover with a pliers or vise grip and pull it free from the spacer. Dust Cover Spring Retainer Retaining Ring Anti-Drift Spring Figure 8-18.
Section 8 Electrical System and Components Retaining Ring Installation 1. Position the retaining ring in the groove in one of the inner halves. Assemble the other half over the top and slide on the outer collar. 2. Be certain the drive components are installed in correct sequence onto the armature shaft. 3. Slip the tool over the end of the armature shaft, so the retaining ring inside is resting on the end of the shaft. Hold the tool with one hand, exerting slight pressure toward the starter.

CV11-16 Section 10 CV460-465, CV490-495 Inspection and Reconditioning Go Back Section 10 Inspection and Reconditioning This section covers the operation, inspection, and repair/reconditioning of major internal engine components. The following components are not covered in this section. They are covered in sections of their own: Air Cleaner, Section 4 Carburetor & External Governor, Section 5 Retractable Starter, Section 7 Ignition, Charging & Electric Starter, Section 8 Clean all parts thoroughly.
Section 10 Inspection and Reconditioning 4. The choke control setting is less critical with ACR. In the event of flooding, excess fuel is blown out the opened exhaust valve and does not hamper starting. 5. Engines with ACR start much faster in cold weather than engines without ACR. 6. Engines with ACR can be started with spark plugs that are worn or fouled. Engines without ACR probably could not be started with those same spark plugs. Camshaft Inspection and Service Inspect the gear teeth of the camshaft.

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 the cylinder bore wall for scoring. In severe cases, unburned fuel can cause scuffing and scoring of the cylinder wall.
Section 10 Inspection and Reconditioning Use the following procedure to accurately measure the piston-to-bore clearance: 1. Use a micrometer and measure the diameter of the piston perpendicular to the piston pin, and up from the bottom of the piston skirt as indicated in Figure 10-4, based on the model involved. Measure 6 mm (0.24 in.) on CV11-14, CV460-465 Engines, 8.5 mm (0.33 in.) on CV15,16, CV490-495 Engines, Above the Bottom of Piston Skirt at Right Angles to Piston Pin. Figure 10-3.
Section 10 Inspection and Reconditioning 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 the valves first. After removal, clean the valve heads, faces, and stems with a power wire brush. Then, carefully inspect each valve for defects such as warped head, excessive corrosion, burned face, or worn stem end. Replace valves found to be in bad condition.
Section 10 Inspection and Reconditioning Normal: Even after long hours of operation a valve can be reconditioned and reused if the face and margin are in good shape. If a valve is worn to where the margin is less than 1/32" do not reuse it. The valve shown was in operation for almost 1000 hours under controlled test conditions. Leakage: A poor grind on face or seat of valve will allow leakage resulting in a burned valve on one side only. Bad Condition: The valve depicted here should be replaced.
Section 10 Inspection and Reconditioning Excessive Combustion Temperatures: The white deposits seen here indicate very high combustion temperatures, usually due to a lean fuel mixture. Stem Corrosion: Moisture in fuel or from condensation are the most common causes of valve stem corrosion. Condensation occurs from improper preservation during storage and when engine is repeatedly stopped before it has a chance to reach normal operating temperatures. Replace corroded valves.
Section 10 Inspection and Reconditioning Valve Guides If a valve guide is worn beyond specifications, it will not guide the 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 the valve guide and, using a split-ball gauge, measure the inside diameter.
Section 10 Inspection and Reconditioning Ring failure is usually indicated by excessive oil consumption and blue exhaust smoke. When rings fail, oil is allowed to enter the combustion chamber where it is burned along with the fuel. High oil consumption can also occur when the piston ring end gap is incorrect, because the ring cannot properly conform to the cylinder wall. Oil control is also lost when ring gaps are not staggered during installation.
Section 10 Inspection and Reconditioning Some important points to remember when servicing piston rings: 1. If the cylinder bore does not need reboring and if the old piston is within wear limits and free of score or scuff marks, the old piston may be reused. 2. Remove old rings and clean up grooves. Never reuse old rings. 3. Before installing the rings on the piston, place each of the top two rings in its running area in the cylinder bore and check the end gap (see Figure 10-8). This gap should be 0.
Section 10 Inspection and Reconditioning 1. Oil Control Ring (Bottom Groove): Install the expander and then the rails. Make sure the ends of the expander are not overlapped. 2. Compression Ring (Center Groove): Install the center ring using a piston ring installation tool. Make sure the ‘‘pip’’ mark is up and the PINK dykem stripe (if present) is to the left of the end gap. 3. Compression Ring (Top Groove): Install the top ring using a piston ring installation tool.
Section 10 Inspection and Reconditioning Procedure to Install Governor Shaft: 1. Install new pin by pressing or lightly tapping into crankcase. It must be installed so that it protrudes 1.289 plus or minus .004 in. above the crankcase boss. See Figure 10-13. Stamped Steel Valve Cover If the engine has stamped steel valve cover, the sealing surface must be checked for flatness prior to reinstallation.
