Additional Information
The Kohler electric starter, part number 20-098-11-S, replaces part numbers 20-098-10-S and KH-20-098-11-S. It attaches to the engine and spins the crankshaft to start the engine when you turn the key. If your engine won t start, only starts intermittently, or requires multiple attempts to engage, a worn or faulty starter could be the cause.
Install the new starter using a socket wrench after disconnecting the battery or spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Wear work gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges. Make sure the mounting bolts are secure and the wiring is connected properly to avoid future startup issues.
Replacing a malfunctioning starter helps restore reliable engine ignition, especially if your equipment sits idle between uses. Always verify compatibility with your model before ordering to ensure a proper fit.
