Kohler Lawnmower Engine Part
The representative ensured I ordered and received the correct replacement carburetor for my engine along with a spark plug and air filter. After I installed all the new parts, the engine started with the very first pull (guaranteed to start). I was glad to have the mower running so easily again.
