Kohler SH265 6.5HP How To Clean Carburetor and How Throttle / Governor Linkages are Setup

Cleaning carburetor on Kohler SH265 6.5HP engines! And how the linkages are setup. Thanks for Watching!!!

[@paulvandagriff4014]

After following your instruction, my wood splitter fired on first pull. Thank you.

[@mikebuss9399]

Pulled and cleaned, second pull and it started! Thanks so much for the video!

[@butler386]

Thanks for this video. Probably the best video showing how to remove and replace this carburetor. The explanation of the linkage was also the most complete I have seen on video's. I will be saving this video for future reference. Thanks again for a great video.

Your welcome, appreciate that. Thanks for Watching!!!

I pulled the carb and it was dirty and needed to be cleaned. But that wasn't the issue. I pulled the float and main jet, cleaned some rust out of the bowl, but couldn't get any air to pass through the fuel inlet. Tried several times to clear the blockage, then went back and watched the video again. When I started the pressure washer up I put both levers in the same direction. That turned the choke on, BUT turned the fuel off! LOL I finally went back and watched the video again and it dawned on me that the fuel was shut off. Thanks again for the video.

Good video so far, clarity of filming is excellent. Nice to see what's going on for a change.

[@petezahutt5174]

Thanks , my carb on this engine just needed replacement. glad I found your video , replaced running good. will take the old one and clean it.

[@yingpin18]

This was a great video and very informative, thank you for taking the time to put this together.

[@phillake3802]

Thanks for such a well done video. I have the exact motor and! I would not have attempted this until I saw your demonstration which made it so easy to follow. I was able to get my motor started up again after cleaning the carburetor.

[@markyochum9753]

Thank you so much for this video. Those holes were clogged. Now the wood splitter runs great!!

[@michaelbradford4444]

Good to see that your still helping guys like me with your videos. Been a subscriber for around 6 or 7 yrs.and for some reason I thought you had retired but now that I know better I'll be watching all your new ones and catching up on the ones I've missed. Good to be back !

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Glad to help out! Yeah, i'm still making videos, a new one up every other week. Don't know why they haven't been showing up, had this happen with some other subscribers too for some reason! Thanks for Watching!!!

[@Vlabar]

Great demonstration. Very clear steps. Thanks for uploading.

[@bobsrepairshop]

Thanks Frank! Like the fellow below I have a Kohler pressure washer that wouldn't run. After carb disassembly I put everything in the ultra-sonic and reassembled. There's also a screw out filter in the tank which I cleaned. Runs great now, really appreciate your help.

[@joepace33]

Great video. Have a pressure washer with the exact engine and carb. Just wouldn't run..... Thanks to your detailed video, I took out the carb and gave it a good cleanup. Put it all together and it started on the first pull. Thanks again....

[@customcutter100]

Thanks for the video. I started the pressure washer this AM and it ran for about a minute and shut down. Either bad fuel or carb needs cleaned, I guess. I like to check for videos that show the dis-assembly process first before tearing into something. Thanks again.

[@kevinpritchard3592]

Thanks, showed exactly what I needed

[@jackleach8423]

Thanks for the info, Now off to get the mowers serviced, Have a nice Easter weekend. Stay safe.

Outstanding video. Thanks.

[@rjh2459]

Thank you for the small engine videos

Your welcome, Thanks for Watching!!!

[@grotekleum]

Thanks Frank, very informative - especially about the jets. Looks like you got caught on a hot muffler on the back of your left hand. The marks of an engineer. Have a good holiday, thanks for sharing.

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Your welcome, yes I did get branded by a hot exhaust! Thanks for Watching!!!

[@mattgohio]

Thanks. Fixed my wood splitter. God bless

[@darwindropmazda]

Very good tutorial

[@ninazeng6036]

Nice job!

[@techguy9023]

I got a new carb. The plastic part with the priming bulb doesn’t suck up any gas. What should I look at? It came with a new one (large black plastic part that levers go through). It’s clean. It had an insert that snapped through the hole that mounts to the carb that the original didn’t have so I removed it. It isn’t in your video either so it must have been for shipping.

[@samuelbaker2070]

Thank you sir

[@jerimahjohnson8698]

Great video. I bought a log splitter brand new put it in the barn 2 years ago never touched it. Now fired it up won't start. Ended up taking that bowl off full of rust. I can't get unit to start at all. All I did was buy it never ran it. Is the carb fixable or wasted???? Also not sure if the inside of fuel tank is rust?.

[@buford737]

Great video. I like the way you explain what you’re doing. Do you know where to buy and what size the O rings that go on the black plastic pilot jet? If you know a part number that would be great. I’m looking to buy about 30 if amazon sells them.

[@rtoons77]

Have Hohler 3000 SH255 6.5 hp, looks same. The issue is the throttle control does NOTHING when moving level back and forth. It idles great and will idle until it runs out of gas if you let it. But, moving the throttle arm back and forth does NOT change engine speed? Cleaned carb and jet and linkages are all connected correctly? Any ideas?

[@randytorboli]

I actually have a Craftsman M270 mower with a Honda clone engine on it and it's the 159cc engine and it has electric start on it that uses a Craftsman V20 battery for the electric start to work

[@redjennings7558]

It was drained out of gas last spring. It did start and run a few minutes. Went to loping tried to adjust and it died. Flooded left to dry, went back the tank was dry , open ck oil and the gas was in oil, how would it get in with not running?

[@watermanone7567]

Great video, next time please show how to clean the idle jet under the low speed adj. screw. If plugged it will cause surging or delay in response. I see lots of them plugged in my shop and sometimes I even have to drill them out a size to two. Thanks

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Ok, I can do that. I forgot about that for some reason, sorry! Thanks for Watching!!!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

That's a nice little motor. It'll make a nice power plant for a project. Pick one and GBWYall!

[@fnaguitarplayer9]

Yeah, seems to be made good, i'll find something for it one day! Thanks for Watching!!!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

@@fnaguitarplayer9 I 2nd this!

[@kylerwj]

Followed everything and it sputtered for a second then quit. Now it’s hard to pull and won’t start??

[@redjennings7558]

Tried sta rting my splitter ,kohler 3000. Ck oil found it with gas in it. How could it get in oil.?

[@user-uy9ke3qe6s]

I have exact the same engine on a washer pressure and I found gas on oil engine. what might be the problem?

[@brandonstinson625]

I recently purchased a used wood splitter with this motor on it, when I put it up to almost full throttle it starts surging bad any idea what could cause that

[@waynejohnson9119]

I had the same issue on a used log splitter. The problem comes from the idle jet. It is very simple to get at. There is a plastic screw that is used to set the idle throttle. You take that screw out and underneath it will be a plastic plug that drops into the top of the carb. Either use a thin flathead screw drive or needle nose pliers and work that out of the carb body. Then clean it from the bottom up with a thin copper wire or thin wire brush wire. At 16.20 in the video you can see his left thumb and look carefully at that plastic screw and under that screw is where the idle jet sits. That is the cause of a surging engine with this carb.
