Governor gear repair

Recommended Posts

tbbahner

I'm disassembling my K341s, 16hp Kohler. Flywheel is being stubborn right now. I've got a couple questions.

I can see the governor gear has come off the shaft above the cam shaft gear. What would cause this to happen? Is it a common problem for the governor gear to come apart? What do I need to be looking for concerning the governor when I get it disassembled?

I've never been this deep into a Kohler. I've done refresh's which is relatively straight forward.

Next, I see overhaul kits being sold on Ebay for Kohlers. A lot cheaper than Kohler parts. He also sells governor assemblies. Any one had any experience with these kits?

Any comments, assistance appreciated.

There should be a phillips head screw going through the side of the block around the governer area. If that screw is broken or missing the governor won't come out.

Thanks Charlie. Everything seems to be in place. The screw didn't appear to be bent or anything, the gear just came off for some reason. I went ahead and replaced the gear.
