Kholer Command pro 25

[vtfireman85]

I need to order a carb kit for it, and a fuel solenoid. But I can’t find an engine number anywhere. There’s a fair amount of plastic and pump plumbing. Does anyone know where the numbers are on these?

Look on the carb. Some of them had the carb number on them. Also if this is on a mower they can use the model and serial from the mower or equipment to order the right one.

It’s on a hale fire pump.

Sent you a PM hope that helps.

I mowed at the church today and the vertical Kohler on it has a tag glued to the outer housing near the oil dip stick, if that helps.

Try checking the side of the metal blower housing, the valve covers, or under the air cleaner base. They love to hide the decals in those spots.

No, like this, but the sticker you see in this picture isn’t there. Missing or moved. I guess maybe guess as best I can on eBay.

ya should be there on the front side on fan shroud, alot of mine have faded away or the decals chipped and broke off in the sun, there should be a number on the carburetor itself to i believe, currently working on an old Kohler command 20 motor and there is a number on the carb,  looking for a whole new carb they are discontinued through kohler lots of aftermarkets on amazon but just dont know which one to pick

Perhaps you could get the engine spec from the pump company.

Maybe look on Amazon for the right picture and buy the whole carburetor? Gamble 40-50 $ and comes with a shutoff solenoid, gaskets, filter,etc.

I'd be willing to bet that most, if not all of those Amazon and EBAY carbs come from the same factory. I recently replaced the carb on a Kawasaki FD501V. Ended up with 3 of those 20$ carbs before I figured out that the needle and seat area were significantly smaller than the original, causing it to leak out the vent while running. That unit had a lever action fuel pump and the smaller needle seal area couldn't hold the pressure. I switched it over to a vacuum diaphragm pump to solve that issue. Still was $300 cheaper to do all that over buying an OEM carb. I've put many of the cheap carbs on 2 stroke stuff with no problems. And, I'm pretty confident that if it's gravity or vacuum pump fed they can work fine on the larger 4 strokes.  One of the 3 wouldn't run right and I found the pilot jet either stopped up, or not drilled all the way out. So, it really is Eenie meenie minie moe when picking out which one to buy.

I also had one where the writing on the tag was worn off so couldn't read.

Kohler quality has went way down hill, in more ways than one.

more than likely i would guess, i bought one of them amazon carbs for a older briggs and scrapiron and i could not get it to run perfect it ran ok and did what i needed it to do for a couple years but then it just wouldnt start and the float would stick and it leaked etc, also could never get it running with out a sniff of some carb cleaner or ether once it ran it ran ok, i finally replaced the engine with a older K series kohler and way better engine   

just junk in my opinion and i never chose the cheapest on i did the middle range one price wise
