Picture this: it's a crisp Saturday morning, and you're ready to tackle the yard, but your trusty Kohler-powered mower coughs and sputters before giving up. Sound familiar? Worn ignition components like points and condensers are often the culprits behind these frustrating no-starts, weak sparks, or rough idling in K-Series engines.
Models like the K161, K181, K241, and K301 have powered countless lawnmowers, tillers, generators, and garden tractors for decades. But exposure to dirt, moisture, and constant vibration wears down the points' contact surfaces, degrades the condenser's insulation, and fouls the spark plug. The gasket might even crack, leading to leaks or poor sealing. Before you know it, your engine's firing inconsistently, wasting fuel and time.
This kit packs everything you need for a full ignition refresh—precision points, a reliable condenser, a high-performance spark plug, and a fresh gasket. Each part is engineered as a drop-in replacement for genuine Kohler OEM specs, ensuring compatibility without modifications. No more hunting for individual parts or settling for cheap knockoffs that fail prematurely.
You don't need a shop manual or fancy tools. Disconnect the coil wire, remove the old points and condenser (usually held by screws), clean the mounting plate, install the new ones, set the points gap to spec (around 0.020 inches), swap the plug and gasket, and you're done in under an hour. Fire it up— that smooth, eager rumble will confirm it's working.
Whether you're mowing a big lawn, tilling soil, or powering a backup generator, this kit restores factory-fresh ignition. Users report engines starting on the first pull, idling steadily, and running cooler. It's a small investment that saves on towing fees or new equipment. Stock one for your shed, and handle seasonal tune-ups like a pro.
Don't let ignition woes sideline your projects. This Kohler K-Series tune-up kit gets you back in action fast and affordably.
