Hello,
I have a kohler CV15S on a craftsman mower that is giving me issues.
symptoms:
It surges and puffs black smoke out the exhaust and only levels out when i shut the fuel off right before it runs out if gas.
Fuel in oil
compression is at 60PSI
Configuration of motor:
gravity fed fuel with no ignition module. Just a coil and a plug. Right now i have the shut down lead off the coil.
attempts to repair:
New Plug
brand new carb
oiled cylinder and re checked compression - still 60PSI and holds there- turned the motor over 5 cycles to try to get accurate reading.
changed oil - no change
New Coil - set clearance with business card - no change.
the valves seem to be operating correctly (no valve noise) - use 10w-30 oil
governor spring still attached
took off air cleaner - still getting too much fuel
can anyone help me out, i am completely out of ideas....
