As always you explain everything so well, without all the extra stuff most KZreadrs add. Thank you so much for helping me once again, this isn't the first time and it won't be the last.

Thanks so much. You made the task so easy to understand and perform, that I've decided to open up my own mower engine repair shop, and look up your repair videos whenever a mower comes in for repair.😂.

That’s one hell of an idea lol👍🏼😂😂

Bro you don’t know how much you just helped me, I got this same mower last year and just now realized it’s only been running on one cylinder from a bad coil, I’ve been lost in what kit I needed to buy and if it’d even work but here you are saving my day, thanks man really appreciate it

Dony you're the best at what you do and you give great tutorials, you're a blessing to small engine Mechanic's so keep doing what you do and Thanks 👍.

Just installed this kit today…100% improvement! Not only was my tractor only running at one cylinder, but the other one was weak. This coil update has it running like a new machine again. And this video was a great help, especially with showing what to do with the red wire.

Thank you so very much for your time and knowledge and patience, you've made it so simple and easy, God bless down here in south Florida

Nice job thanks. Appears fixing a Koehler design problem. They should cover.

Thanks for a great tutorial.

As always awesome video. Keep on wrenching!

Saved my mower! It runs so much better now. Thank you!

Thanks, This video helped me a lot. I went a step cheaper and made my own conversion kit with the old wiring harness and some crimp caps that I had in my collection. Another video had same info but yours has a nicer tone. Saved some bucks and fixed it for 36 us Dollars.

Top notch like usual Don,Ive learned so much from you it has enabled me to keep up maint. On 3.5 acres by myself yearound thanks sincerely brother

Thank You for information and advice We’re all learning from you guys in full time businesses who share your experience with Us 😊😊

Thank you for making this video. My mower runs so much better and oddly, much quieter than before. I really think it had an ignition problem straight from the showroom floor. I found a set of coils for like $45 and I made my own wiring harness. I don't know why there is such a large price difference from buying the updated coils vs the $108 kit. Great video. 5 stars. 👍👍

Learn a lot watching your video. Saved me some repair cash.

DB73; I'm still learning good stuff on your channel. Splendid video..

I watch every vid you upload, thanks

Thanks! Appreciate the video. Like you said, the instructions that come from Kohler leave out quite a few details.

Great Video and instructions ! Thank You

I've done this twice on a 72' Toro z500. I ended up removing the engine to do all the work. It's a horizontal shaft, only 4 bolts and belt and a few connections to remove it. That mower recently got a new engine, so I'm sure I'll be doing it again in a few years.

Great video, thanks!

Thanks for the info👍🏽

Thanks for the video i can,t believe i have not done any of theese. And i have seen a ton of theese motors

Nice work Don

How's she goin'? That's an interesting repair. Funny that Kohler has made the change in the coils like this. I guess they know the OE one wasn't up to par!! Thanks for posting.

Same problem here brother im gonna buy 2 coils here at my wholesale house and make my own harness. Thx for confirming my idea will work..... Thx

Thank you for doing this video!! Any chance you have done one of these on a miller trailblazer with a kohler command Ch750 not efi? After mdi conversion my stepper motor starts the engine up but i seem to lose any communication after that and just runs wide open..also does not shut off. I did the wiring right but something is amiss

Thanks!

Nice.. Thank you.. 👍👍👍👍👍

Hi Donnie just wanted to let you know awesome video on the Kohler engine coil update I did my first one yesterday it came out pretty good just wanted to thank you you have great videos I watch them all the time

very good

Great video DonyBoy73 as always! Do you know if the heads for a Kohler SV735 and KT740 are interchangeable? The SV735 heads are shot and I have almost new KT740s!

Will this (concept) work on an older 20 HP Merc OB? It's a 2 cyl, dual ignition points engine currently? I have seen these engines equipped with under flywheel and some with external coils.

Dony, had an engine shop like yours for years. Just a suggestion when replacing coils. Remove old like you did, then install new ones with flywheel magnets out of the way but then just snug up new coils, then rotate the magnet to one coil, place business card in place and then loosen coil hold down bolts. Magnets will pull coil into place, tighten hold down bolts and you are off and running without having to fight the magnetic pull on the new loose coil. Just a suggestion.

Dony, great video Thanks !! I'm very ticked at Kohler ive got a CH740 in a Cub Cadet XT3_GSX & it appears a coil has gone bad after 240 hours. Inexcusable !!!

Hi Don, It has been awhile. Hope things are going well. Stay in touch. Great video. Stay well, Joe Z

Took several hours but I traced my problem to the 60deg tilt switch. Not sure how this goes bad but it was causing my bizarre cutting in and out problem. Bypassed it and all runs good. My ignition module (PN: 24-584-15) was not listed on the Toro Bulletin so I guess mine are ok. Do you agree?

Hi I have a question...I have a mower Dixie chopper 2017..it won't start. It cranks but no start we checked the both ignition coils there's no spark..I m not to convince bcuz both aren't sparkling. also the ignition key don't work..at cranks only if I do it directly to the starter..any suggestion will be appreciated thanks for your good advices. God bless

thank you

Great video as always. I really appreciate how succinct and informative they are. Do you remember where you got your spark tester? There are many out there, but I really like yours. Any information is appreciated.

The same spark tester is available from Lisle Tools (P/N 20610). It can be found at many auto parts stores or on Amazon if you don't have a Snap-On guy around. I have the Lisle one, it works very well, I use it all the time. It doesn't work with spark plugs that have the threaded ends though, won't securely attach inside the coil wire boot...

Thank U! 👍

Did the kill wires have diodes inline and if so were they of any concern in your diagnosis?

briggs and tecumseh feed the kill wire of each coil through a diode before going to the common kill wire to chassis . What's different about kohler coils that they don't need the diodes.

Don't have many Kohler engines fitted on machines sold in the UK now. But we are having issues with the new Briggs and Stratton engines fitted with the electronic choke system and choke adjustments as we have had these cut out on customers.

Is there a similar procedure for a Kohler cv16s single with a SAM unit integrated into the ignition system. A new oem coil did not solve my week spark issue and I cannot find any information on how to test the SAM unit. So I would like to switch to the old fashioned coil if possible.

What coils would you recommend for a 2012 Kohler Command Pro CH750 -3005? Thank you

Will the same method apply to my SV7350016?? I found the modules for mine..

Hey. Same configuration for the courage 25hp. ?

Your doing this on a Kohler 26hp courage. Will my 24hp courage need the same kit

@donyboy73 my courage sv725 when I engage pto seems the engine won’t run right when cutting. Almost Bogging down. I’ve cleaned carb, adjusted valves, new plugs. Cleaned Magnito. Could my could be going bad?

I have a kohler command ch20s. My coils look just like the ones you removed. Presently It runs good but should I buy a kit just in case or didn’t the ch20 command have this problem? Thanks great video!

Great job, I'm really liking that spark tester you used, can't find a video on your channel about it, where did you get it?.... I wanna pickup 2 of em..... They seem to have a nice large sight window.

Do they make a advance modular lgnition coil for a kholer cv25 1997 model or can i take two coils and make my own

Hi, Good video and well explained!! I have a Husqvarna Ride on lawn mower with Kohler DSAI engine v twin cylinders It starts well but sometimes the engine won't shut off 🤔 any help will be appreciated. Regards Ray

I purchased coils off of Amazon. When watching your video on replacement coils, you just have one tab to connect. The ones they sent have two tabs, with no instructions on where or what they are for. The ones that I have are the same number sv740 that it says on my tractor. Can I still use these and if so, can you share with me what wires go where. Its a twenty seven hp twin courage. Your response would be greatly appreciated. Homer

Hi Donny have you done this on single cylinder kohlers? I have a kohler CV 16 S that has the DSAI module with three prongs, I bought a new coil that is suppose to be for CV 16 or CV 16S but only has two spade connectors and they're not marked like old one. Thanks in advance!

I have the same engine as yours, 5 wires come out of SAM, the yellow and brown go to the ignition module, Black to the ignition body, Red and white to the engine side red, and white. All wires are keyed so can not make a mistake

Could you show how to test the new style Honda 4 terminal coil with meter for GX 630 ?????

I buy just the coils off ebay for twenty something dollars and all you have to hook up is the kill wire(s). And they fit the single cylinder engines too.

Have you ever seen these coils short to ground? I’ve got a tractor that keeps blowing the main fuse. If I take the connector off the second coil, the fuse doesn’t blow.

Any chance of running cdi ignition boxes and add the pickups ware the coils were removed from using the flywheel magnets as the pick ups ?

There's a kit for the starter gear, spring that holds it down, and clip. Stens makes them as well as the original equipment manufacturer.

question, I have a Kohler command pro 20hp cv20 engine. it feels underpowered, and after doing some research, it appears that the 18-22hp models all use the same block, just the cv22 uses advanced timing. what would, or what could I do to boost the HP our of the 20hp engine? can I put the carb on from the 747cc 27hp model, or remove the governor and run it at 4000rpm?

I have this same engine and I have replaced all filters, fuel pump and carb. Using a spark detector like yours I have spark. My engine still misfires at high rpms. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help. John H.

Smashing conversion, it's just like B&S push mowers now. Just omit the power wire from the coil packs basically. Any problem with the timing or is it just an engine that does not care much?

Can to much gap cause backfire? I have a Honda lawnmower I’ve checked valve timing , flywheel key , no sign of damage or severe ware to cam or rockers. Auto decompress seems good but still backfire

Both are sparking but its running like its missing or out of time? I'm at a loss i been working on these things for years. Please help.

Is that a homelite chainsaw, I have the same one it's as old as I am not many left.

Companies are constantly coming out with "latest and greatest" designs like those powered coils. Then their designs fail...then the companies revert back to the same old systems that have worked very well for many, many years. (And of course they charge the end user for the retrofit parts). Frustrating...
