Have you looked at this Kohler service manual? It covers the starter/generator system.

Dany, do not worry about the voltage at Bolt F.

 

When F is grounded by the regulator, the generator produces full output - should be over 15 volts at full engine speed.

 

When F is not grounded by the regulator, the generator produces no power.

 

A good test to see if the generator is working is to use a jumper wire to ground the F terminal when the engine is running. The voltage on the battery terminals should rise above 15 volts. Remove the jumper when the test is complete.

Dany, tu parles français votre langue principale ?   Je ne parle pas français. Cependant, Je vais tenter une traduction.

 

Le problème est résolu ???

 

Terminal A sera supérieure à 15 volts lorsque vous placez un fil du terminal F au châssis.

Save Old Iron Thank. yes i speak French but try my best for speak in English...

Yes my problem is resolved ! i disconnect batteries  and motor not stall !

the engine runs too slowly because the link to carburetor was broken i replace wire to mechanic link to carburetor.

now the engine run very fast and the generator produce 13.5 volt when  the motor run to maximum.

the bolt F run correctly.

the bolt A run correctly.
