kohler pro 27 will not start cold without starter fluid.. help!

[bob]

Is there a fuel shut off solenoid on the carb? If so, check to make sure its letting fuel to the carb.

Yes it is as I can hear it click... the motor will run. After I give it a shot of starting fluid and run great all day... starts up after its warmed up each and every tim. Runs great... only on cold morning startups when it needs chocked when it will not start... so technically I. An only spray out the holes in the Carb to clean it and that will be good enough?

Technically...it would be better if you had a thorough understanding of theory and operation of carburetors...
But...to keep it simple...disassemble the carb...blast brake cleaner through every orifice you can find..and reassemble it..
While you have it apart...look for anything that doesn't belong in the carb...crud..dirt...etc...

I guess you can use brake cleaner...
Not saying, I've used kerosene, acetone, you name it.

But they do make a product called carburetor cleaner.
It does cost more, but that's what it's designed for.
