Hey All-
I've got a Kohler K241 10hp that will start and run great when cold. It will warm up and run great when hot too. The problem is when I start it hot, it will start and idle rough and the second I put any throttle to it the engine will die.
I am fairly certain this is a spark related issue because applying the choke will totally flood the engine- there is plenty of fuel. The points and condenser are new. The timing is set perfectly (I set it static, then checked it with a timing light). It has a magneto ignition system.
I have an idea what it is, but I'm not too familiar the Kohler K series and would like another opinion.
Thank you!
