Kohler 7000 series

My Kohler 7 thousand series choke... ( 1 lever for throttle & choke ) it won't lift choke rod high enough to close choke... it seems like lever linkage at engine is at 6:30.... and should be at 6:25 in order to lift rod to close choke.... so if cable is adjusted to lift choke rod to close choke, idle is like 2,000 rpm + , and if adjusted for idle... rod does not close choke , and must be started with finger holing choke rod up. Wish they never went from the on dash 2 lever system... 1 throttle , 1 choke....made so much more sense.

Every once in a while I find one that the cable adjustment won't quite correct. A couple of things that might help is selecting a different hole where the cable hooks in, lube the control so that it works freely and if you can tweak the arm on the control a tad to make the choke close better may rectify things.

my mower has a Kohler elite 7000 and I see a lot of them have two cables going to the front when mine only has one. Are they always supposed to have two?

They are built both ways. Welcome to TBN!

Thank you. I just wanted to make sure something wasn't missing because it isn't running right now.

How do you adjust the throttle when only one cable?

You'll want the choke control to start to move when the control begins to enter the choke position.
