cdn97 6 #1 Posted February 28, 2012 I have a Kohler engine that is a pull start with recoil. I have the spring in, it recoils fine. The issue now is the "fins" that turn the flywheel don't come out until it recoils. What's wrong? Something is backwards, but I am not sure what. Any ideas? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowtiebutler956 650 #2 Posted February 28, 2012 Sorry I cant help with this, as I have never heard of that happening before, but I'm sure someone here has and will chime in before long. Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can whlvr 994 #3 Posted February 28, 2012 look in the download area and see if the kohler rebuild manual is there,when i rebuilt my last engine i noticed the manual has a section on starters,a big area on recoils,im not sure of the manual for an engine that old but in the magnum manual there was a good section on these,you may have to download it from kohler,ive done this and its free,go to the links area and you can get to kohler from there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,744 #4 Posted February 28, 2012 Are you sure it is a KOHLER? Sounds like the spring and rope may be wound backwards...Really haven't had this problem before, so I am guessing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
