I have a 12.5 HP Kohler on my JD. I replaced the old gas,spark plug and cleaned the carb, but when I try to start it, I get a backfire through the exhaust. Removing the plug reveals oil on the plug and the smell of gas. I know my carbs getting gas but am not sure if it's reaching the cylinder. I'm getting plenty of spark but it will not start, just backfires. Should I rebuild the carb?? Help.....
