[QUOTE="screwballl, post: 183283, member: 4837"] This is not actually on a boat but most of these engines are the same so I figured I would ask here since you guys deal with these small engines all the time. I have a Kohler 16HP engine refusing to start. It cranks/turns over just fine (until I run the battery down). I can pour gas in the intake and it starts/runs for just a moment and then it backfires just a little and dies again. I pulled the gas line off the carb and it is flowing very easily including through the filter. It is fresh clean gas. Spark plug is clean and gapped. I was thinking of looking for a carb rebuilt kit but not sure if thats even the problem. ideas? [/QUOTE]
