Backfiring Kohlers
Original Message Feb 18, 2005 2:13 pm

Why does it backfire when shut off hot? Have noticed that if it idles 15-30 secs before turning off it does not backfire. What's causes the backfire?

Or just don't chop the throttle off when shutting it down, especially if it has an emission carburetor.
