Hey guys. Ive never delt with a Kohler before. I got a k301 and just wondering if im going to run into any trouble putting new points in. Condensor is just a bolt-on thing. Is it easy to put in and adjusting?? All the help would be good. I got a good idea of what to do but never have put new ones in...thanks

It's easy. Remove the 2 screws on the breaker cover, rotate the engine until the points are fully opened, remove the points. Install the new ones and set the gap to .020.

Feeler Gauge would work the best in my opinion. And Advance Auto has them for $5.00

I think those electronic "thingys" that replace both the points and condenser are still

available. :whistle: Might have been Northern tool where I saw them for sale. I'm not of any help with the old points and condenser, I've been down that road. :thumbs:

The pushrod does not move much.

Double check also that the push rod is free in the hole going hrough the block.

(Topic moved & merged to the Kohler engine section)
