Re: 782 Choke Knob & Cable Problem
Kevin has an excellent point. The original ignition switch would have provided 12V to power the coil with a points system. The Command (and Magnum) use a magneto which needs an entirely different ignition switch. The ignition switch for a magneto ignition replaces the "12V power to coil" with a p...

Re: 782 Choke Knob & Cable Problem
Kohler Command? Are you sure it's not a Magnum? At any rate, you can download the engine manuals from the Kohler website. If it is a Magnum, very likely that the magneto is bad. Pretty easy job other than you have to remove the engine to get to it. Don't believe the posts by people that said th...

Re: 782 Choke Knob & Cable Problem
As Kevin says, likely just the inner cable frozen inside the cable housing from some rust. With the style that doesn't have an outer plastic jacket you might first try dribbling some penetrating oil on the outside of the housing and it will seep through the spirals of the outer housing. I've been ...

Re: The Official Weather Thread!
That's just how weather goes sometimes. For my area I'm waiting for the snow cycle to start again. We always go a few years without much snow, people start claiming it'll never snow again, then we get hit hard! I think I'd be fine if I never had to mount up the blower again!

+1 on Ray Weaver. He doesn't give parts away, but he won't do you wrong, and he'll make it right if something doesn't go how it's supposed to. Myself and dag have met at Ray's a few times for a visit, always interesting visiting Ray!

Re: K 241 running badly
Ken, I think you've got it nailed now. Nothing lost addressing the carb, finger tight mounting bolts and dried up gaskets were either part of the problem or about to be. I agree that coils aren't always digital, they can cause intermittent problems as they start to fail and can therefore be difficul...

Re: K 241 running badly
I think dag was mentioning blue threadlocker for the mounting bolts. Threadlocker on the bolts would be fine, but probably not needed if properly torqued. Also, as Ken says, gasket sealant at carb base should never be needed and is generally a bad idea. Too many small holes nearby that could pick so...
