In Reply to: Oil shut off switch? posted by George Marsh on December 23, 2013 at 08:58:48:
I just worked on a Honda 13 hp that had a float-type oil sensor. As long as the float floats in the oil it runs. The 'canister' thingy on the side of the engine is an electronic switch that allows it to crank, but will promptly stop the engine if its not getting the right signal from the float inside the crankcase.
I would assume your Kohler is looking for oil pressure if it won't run until the filter is full. There is probably a pressure switch on the engine near the oil cooler or filter.
One thing: those float-type switches in the Honda are sensitive to being operated with old oil in them. It causes the float to stick, most times in the low-oil position.
