TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #2 Posted January 27, 2009 If the Kohler has an externally-mounted automotive-style 12 volt ignition coil, then it must have a battery. Most Tecumseh engines (some Kohlers too) have a magneto to produce spark - which do not require a battery. Replacement carburetors are available new, but can sometimes be rather expensive depending on the model & size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
