Some grit could remain in the spark plug and enter the engine causing extensive wear and damage. Check the gap using a wire feeler gauge. Adjust the gap to 0. 76 mm (0. 030 in. ) by carefully bending the ground electrode. Wire Gauge Spark Plug Fuel System High Pressure Fluids can puncture skin and cause severe injury or death. Do not work on fuel system without proper training and safety equipment. WARNING General The precision components inside the fuel pump module are not serviceable. DO NOT attempt to open the fuel pump module. Damage to the components will result and the warranty will be void. Because the fuel pump module is not serviceable, the engines are equipped with a special 10-micron EFI fuel filter to prevent harmful contamination from entering the module. If there are two filters in the system, the one before the lift pump will be a standard 51-75 micron filter, and the one after the lift pump will be the special 10-micron filter. [. . . ] (b) (c) Be aware, however, that Kohler Co. may deny warranty coverage if the engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications. For warranty repairs, the engine must be presented to a Kohler Co. service center as soon as a problem exists. [. . . ]
