Good afternoon All,BACKGROUND: I have a 2015 Badboy CZT 54" zero turn with a Kohler Confidant ZT740 engine. I bought the mower used about a year ago (2018) from a local dealer. The sales person I spoke with said this mower was used by the owner's brother to mow his small average.

Kohler runs well for 2 mins, misses for 3 mins, then runs well again | Lawn Mower Forum
January 4, 2021 - White smoke would indicate water in the gas and black smoke would indicate a rich running condition. Another thing to try is getting rid of the Stabil and other gas treatments and try running a tank or two of 91 octane, ethanol free fuel.

I had trouble with my 25 hp. Kohler not running well when it got hot. The hotter the day the worse it was. When it started acting up the choke would help it run but it didn't have much power. I tried all the easy stuff to no avail. Finally I changed the ignition coils and that solved the problem.

r/lawnmowers on Reddit: Kohler KT740 V-twin no power
November 9, 2020 -

I’ve been working on this issue with my Ariens zero turn for almost a week with no success. Mower starts ok, but never seems to reach full power, even with blades disengaged. Just driving around will bog it down. If I engage blades, it takes 2-3 seconds for them to spin up. As soon as I hit grass, it decreases in RPMs until it finally dies. So far, I have done the following:

Replace fuel line, fuel pump, and filter. Cleaned air filter Replaced spark plugs Verified spark to both cylinders Replaced each coil individually with a spare Adjusted throttle and choke cables Adjusted governor Cleaned carb twice Fresh fuel Checked oil level

Any other ideas what it could possibly be before I take it in for service?
