John H. If you dont have a service manual for your engine, go here to get one.
www.kohlerengines.com/onlinecatalog/classic_engn_families.jsp
Click on K-series on their home page, then K-91 - K181 ang get both manuals. Maybe look at points adj, also is flywheel key partly sheared? Had a couple lawn mower engines that ran horrible because of sheared key. Good luck.

My 9 year old son has a original that just won't start. We have done the following to try to get it started: cleaned gas tank&Fuel bowl,rebuilt carberator,replaced points,spark plug and head gasket and changed the oil.--A while ago after all that work it ran fine but now she won't start. She even won't chug with starter fluid. We do have spark as I put the plug on the block and there is spark. There is no coil on the outside of the engine,the spark plug wire just goes back behind the engine near the fly wheel. I think but am not sure that there may be a magneto or the coil is just hiden. While trying to start sometimes it puffs gray to balck smoke. I've talked with many people and tried many things. If anyone has an idea an e-mail would be greatly appriciated jnlhanes@aol.com
