kodiak 5 #1 Posted November 25, 2010 i have noticed a valve tap in my engine the lower the idle the worse it is. does anyone have any ideas of what could cause this and if it is still ok to run like it is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #2 Posted November 25, 2010 Perhaps they need adjusted? Look in the Kohler K series engine manual (TP-2379) for instructions and clearance specifications. You'll also need a carb to block gasket and all crankcase breather gaskets. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,932 #3 Posted November 25, 2010 Also, check your points gap. Changing the gap will change your timing and can cause a low speed tapping sound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
