Not sure, check for a hole in the metal deck near it. I believe that spring provides tension to keep the belt tight. OR it may be for the cable actuator arm return spring for the self propel engagement..

@JeffsLittleEngineService5 күн бұрын
Make sure fuel line is not kinked or plugged. Make sure vacume tube/hose from engine to pump is not damaged. The float bowl should fill up with gas eventually when you try to start the engine the first time after servicing. It can take awhile you must try to start/turn for 30 seconds or so before the carb fills up with gas. Also, double check your work something may not be right.

@JeffsLittleEngineService5 күн бұрын
try using starting fluid to see what happens and go from there. That can tell you if you have spark and compression if it tries to start. If it tries to start then dies it tells you that you have a fuel delivery problem or a carburetor is not working correctly. If you put a cheap carburetor on it, that may be the problem because cheap carburetors are often crap.

Thank you, thank you thank you! Pulled out this pressure washer after it sat for maybe 5 years. Wouldn’t start. Put in fresh treated fuel. Still no go. Tried spraying carb cleaner in the carburetor and it would fire up but only ran for a second or two. So I knew it was getting spark but likely no fuel.

Just curious: Why do you think the Kohler Courage is junk? I know that the SINGLE CYLINDER ones were indeed junk- but I haven't heard much bad about the twins, except by people who don't know what they're talking about. [<- NOT referring to you]. I have a twin Courage on my 60" Gravely zero-turn with over 1000 hours on it, and I use it quite roughly...only had to do my first repair to it just yesterday- the fuse holder for the rectifier/regulator fuse burned up..... I'm actually quite impressed by my Courage- for a lower-end homeowner-grade injun, I use it like it was a commercial (And in-fact, the kid I bought the mower from had used it to start his lawn care business!)...so other than little electrical gremlins and things, what exactly do you find to be the problem with the twin Courages?

Sometimes all the problem is is the carburetor bowl solenoid getting stuck out I've had 1 that was gummed up inside the solenoid and took it off then put a other used one on and then the engine started up those do work good for stopping the gas flow soon as the key is turned off kinda better then keep turning a valve on the gas line. Bur then a in line shut off valve is good to for if you wanna take the carburetor off just keep the valve on off and unhook the line
