Kohler Engines / Re: Ok all I know is thier heavy
« on: June 17, 2013, 03:52:07 am »
By chance would anyone have a part number for a non smart spark flywheel? I swapped out coils on a cv25 vtwin command and it idles well but runs rough on higher rpm. Didn't know about the flywheel. And will they swap with out modification? Thanks.

Is there any benefit to using smaller horse power heads on a bigger horse power motor if the motor is stock? Like putting 22hp heads on a 25hp.

Kohler Engines / Governor issue
« on: April 08, 2013, 03:23:25 pm »
The motor I have questions about is a 22.5 vtwin kohler command. After sorting through several issues it still seems like it doesn't rev all the way with the throttle lever. I have check the adjustment and everything is set right. I have only minor experierence with the commands and more with the opposed and k and m series kohler. Is this normal for it to not open to wide open throttle on the commands? I am running a gas pedal on my back yard racer and on the old k series I coul hook to the throttle shaft and it would rev to WOT. The commands don seem too. On the single i had prior to this motor i had a similar issue and ran straight to the gov shaft. The vtwin throttle linkage on the carb barely moves off the throttle adj screw. If I mess with the throttle stop on the linkage it revs higher but wants to bark if that makes sense. Yet if I push on the gov shaft itself it will rev out. Does this sound normal to anyone? Any help would be appreciated.

Kohler Engines / Re: Vtwin has a noise and hesitates

Ok so here is an update. Sorry it took a lil while been a lil busy. I did another oil change with kohler oil again. I'd this for two reason. The motor I am working with had been sittin for a while so figure a couple a changes early on will help pull out anything gunked up in the motor. Second the carb I took off the float was bad and I think it was getting gas past the valves and or piston. So oils has been changed. I still have the tapping sound but its not as noticable. So my question there is how do I get the air out of the lifters? I have seen it on here before and of course can't find it now.
Secondly I put a different carb on that's in great shape from a running 25 hp I picked up dirt cheap ($75 dirt cheap and its complete and runs!) the hesitation is gone completely so I think the float issue in the other carb is what was causing the hesitation.
But after all this the governor still seems messed up. I can move the throttle up and it revs up then idles down some. After further inspection I noticed on the three 25 hp I have sitting here all seem clocked differently on the gov shaft than this motor. So I am gonna pull out the ole kohler manual and attempt to reset it. Has anyone had an issue like this before? Is this something that needs periodically checked? Or is my problem gonna be the previous owner didnt know what he was doin while attempting to get it running?
Any and all help would be appreciated.
And docbro thanks for the carb suggestion.
So I just checked out Vogel for solid lifter and was surprised at the price. To avoid having a lifter pumping up issue is it easier to just replace them with solid lifter and a set of non adjustable pushrods while I'm in there?

This motor is going to be used on an "off-road" machine so I looking for good response and rev ability while producing a lot of torque. All in all I am looking to only do a mild build. Light head work and valve work replace rods pushrods and lifters for better durability and have a mild cam made. Fit a appropriate carb and add a lil timing.

Yeah that kinda would make sense to just take it out to 30. Who is a good at reworking a carb for this motor. The one that came with it is pretty rough. It has the accel pump. Or would I be better off going with a 2 barrel or like a reworked #30 of a k341?

The needle looks emaculate. Gonna try the new gasket and float and see where that gets me. Who rebuilds these style carbs and I good with them. I have a carb with the accel pump on it and it really needs gone through and cleaned up and ultimately I wanna run that carb. But I can make the carb I have now work for a lot cheaper than reworking and cleaning up the other one.

Awesome. Well I think it's going to get sent out and sleeve it to a 27 hp since I will be resleeving it. Thanks for all the help.

Ok so took the carb off and checked it out. To me the float is bad but everything else looks ok. On a side note who rebuilds these carbs? I have a carb off a 25 hp vertical with accelerator pump that is pretty bad off and I would like to get it cleaned back up.
Back to the float it hangs really low and wobbles on the float pin pretty good like the hole for the pin in the float is wallered out on the ends. So looks like a new float and some new gaskets and we will see what we get.

And just for good measure pics always help.

All I run is kohler oil. And it's fresh, I just changed it and new oil filter. The carb is crystal clean on the inside a lil dirty outside. A problem that just happened is when I mounted the gas tank on my rig it sits about 6 inches from bottom of tank to top of fan shroud. When I shut the motor down it pours gas out the carb unless I clamp one of the lines off. Carb issue or fuel pump issue? Would this be causing my hesitation? Where should I start now? Carb still?

So I was given a 25 hp horizontal vtwin command pro. That's where the good news stop. It blew a rod and apparently shot a lifter through the bottom of one of the cylinders. Upon further inspection it almost looks like the block has been resleeved once before. The chunk it took out of the cylinder is all the way up to the lifter housing and roughly 1.5 to 2 inches wide. Is this block even savable?

Kohler Engines / Vtwin has a noise and hesitates
« on: March 30, 2013, 03:44:34 am »
Hey guys. I have a 22.5 kohler vtwin I have a few questions with. I am familiar with the older kohler magnums not so much with the vtwins.

What I am in question about is a noise while running the governor seems messed and and possible carb issues. First off, I hear a noise from the valves like a tapping. It's a tap not a banging or rattling but just a tap? Is this normal with the vtwins? Second, the governor doesn't seem right. If you throttle up the motor it's revs up then lowers rpm significantly but will be above idle. Yet if you push on the gov rod directly it revs and hold revs just fine. Honestly kinda lost on that one. And thirdly, the carb. I tried just removing the pin in the fuel solenoid and when it ran and I throttle it up it fell on its face. I pull it back apart measure the pin to the hole and cut it down so even with the pin at highest point it still open. It runs better but still falls on its face during throttle up.

And help comments or suggestions would be great.
