jmi3063259 0 #1 Posted April 21, 2011 I have a WH C-125 with a 12 hp Kohler engine on it. Was running fine then stopped running, I did the normal, check plug was not firing so then I checked and reset the points and that was when I noticed that the breaker rod that moves the points was not moving. I can move the rod by hand but when I crank the engine over the points do not move or the breaker rod does not move either. Any ideas what this is and maybe what the fix is? Thanks for all the help you can give me on this. Have a good day - Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH854 44 #2 Posted April 21, 2011 Sounds like you may have a broken camshaft Chas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,631 #3 Posted April 21, 2011 If it is a broken camshaft as suggested, I have a used one for replacement. Have other K301 engine parts too. In n/w PA at zip 16433 send me a private email: daveoman@windstream.net Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmi3063259 0 #4 Posted May 3, 2011 Solved my engine problem was the breaker cam rod that opens and closes the points, rod is made of aluminum and is made to wear instead of the cam wearing or even has broken as some suggested. Easy fix, removed the points cover, remove points, pull out pin, installed new pin,(a $8.76 part) installed and reste points, installed cover. Started right up on first turn over and runs great!
