blown gasket, cracked intake manifold, these can all be isolated to one cylinder. an easy way to check this is to take a can of carb cleaner, start the engine, then start spraying carb cleaner around all the intake gasket area, and around the manifold, if there is a leak there, the engine RPM will change, if it does, then that will pinpoint the leak, if not the ONLY other thing it can be is you have a spark plug that is bad or gapped wrong. this may sound stupid, but humor me, I have been doing this for over 25 years, and have seen more than one Kohler burn a head, because Kohler engines plugs are to be gapped at .025, and .030 CAN upset the timing and blow head gaskets because it is out of time. May not help you, but it sound to me as though you are at the end of your rope on this one, so I am adding more suggestions, let all of us know if oyu get this one whipped, it is got my curiousity up.
