Starter Motor for Kohler K211, K301, K321 & K341 Engines 10-14HP
Kohler K-series air-cooled engines, 10HP to 14HP - 12V, counter-clockwise rotation, 10-tooth
A starter motor is the component that cranks the engine over to begin combustion. If it fails to engage, spins without turning the engine, or does not respond at all when the key is turned or the start button is pressed, the engine will not start. This starter motor is built for the Kohler K-series air-cooled engines - K-211, K-301, K-321 and K-341 - covering the 10HP, 12HP and 14HP ratings, engineered as a direct replacement that matches the original unit's fit, mounting and function.
It is a 12V permanent magnet direct drive (PMDD) unit with counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation and a 10-tooth drive pinion, with a motor housing length of 3.390in matching the original Kohler specification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit without modification?
Yes, this starter motor is built to match the original Kohler K-series unit's housing length, rotation and drive pinion, so it installs as a direct swap.
What's included?
One new 12V starter motor, ready to fit.
How do I know my old starter has failed?
Common signs are a single click with no crank, a slow or straining crank, or no response at all when the key is turned or the start button pressed.
How do I confirm this fits my engine?
Check the model designation cast into your Kohler engine's blower housing or shroud plate against K-211, K-301, K-321 and K-341, and compare the 10-tooth drive and 3.390in motor housing length if you have your old unit to hand.
