A kohler fuel pump line names the pulse or vacuum pump, the mechanical pump, or the electric/EFI pump that the printed Kohler engine sheet already lists. The same object can appear as a Kohler engine fuel pump on a ticket, still bound to that sheet. The fork below is the pulse or vacuum carton, the mechanical valve-cover line on the same brand sheet, a gravity line when no pump is printed, shopping numbers that stay off this catalog, and the 1987-1995 C/K truck kit as a different machine.
A counter that already holds the engine model can copy that paper before a box moves. The shopping carousel can stay closed until the sheet names the object.
A Kohler fuel pump line starts on the printed engine sheet
A Kohler fuel pump line starts on the printed engine sheet, and the carton follows that sheet’s Model + specification and Parts Lookup.
The printed engine sheet is the Kohler model or parts list that already names a pump, or names none. At the bench that sheet is only the ink someone must copy before any carton leaves the rack.
A search bar that already says kohler fuel pump still has to open that paper. A shopping carousel of 24 393 16-S / 24 559 10-S-class numbers can sit shut until the sheet says which object belongs on the line.
Write the engine family the way the sheet already prints it. The purchase line copies that ink, and this catalog does not invent a Kangsong card to stand in for a missing Kohler SKU.
Many Kohler sheets already name a pulse or vacuum pump
Many Kohler sheets already name a pulse or vacuum diaphragm pump when that pulse family is the printed line.
A Pulse / vacuum fuel pump is that small-engine cube. A diaphragm inside the cube flexes under crankcase or related pressure pulses and moves gasoline toward the carburetor.
On Wikipedia’s diaphragm pump entry, a reciprocating diaphragm plus check valves is what moves the fluid. The Kohler pulse cube belongs to that class. Stroke timing for that cycle already sits on how a vacuum fuel pump works.
The lawn mower fuel pump write-up already keeps the mower carton apart from the truck carton. This page stays on the Kohler sheet.
The parallel brand-sheet fork for another maker lives on briggs and stratton fuel pump. Broader diaphragm hardware stays covered on diaphragm fuel pump.
A mechanical valve-cover pump is a different printed Kohler line
A mechanical valve-cover or cam-lever pump is a different printed Kohler line, not the three-hose pulse cube.
On the same brand sheet, a Mechanical fuel pump (Kohler sheet) is the arm-through-cover carton. It is still a Kohler small-engine object. It is not the pulse cube with three short hose nipples.
How a Car Works draws a line between a cam-driven mechanical pump and an electric pump paired with injection. That cam lesson helps name the drive. It does not turn the valve-cover Kohler line into the pulse carton.
A counter that already holds a pulse cube while the sheet names a valve-cover pump is holding the wrong carton. Keep both objects on the sheet that printed them, and leave the older cam-lever versus motor story on mechanical versus electric.
A gravity-feed Kohler sheet is not a pump order
If that sheet never names a pump, gravity already feeds the carburetor and the line is not a pump order.
Gravity feed is the carbureted case with the tank sitting above the carburetor. Wikipedia’s fuel-pump page already keeps that no-pump class apart from engines that carry a pump.
With the tank mounted above the carburetor, fuel can fill the bowl even when no cube sits on the hose. If the sheet never prints a pump word, that silence is already a complete answer, not a gap an electric assembly must plug.
Printed shopping numbers stay on the sheet, not in this catalog
Numbers such as 24 393 16-S, 24 559 10-S, and Magnum kits stay on shopping pages. This catalog does not print them.
A Printed Kohler number is a shopping-page object the sheet may print. It stays a shopping-page object. It does not become a Kangsong SKU.
| Printed shopping number | Where it already lives | What this catalog prints |
|---|---|---|
| 24 393 16-S | Shopping pages as a small-engine pulse / vacuum pump | Nothing under that number |
| 24 559 10-S | Shopping pages as a mechanical / valve-cover class pump | Nothing under that number |
| Magnum kit class | Shopping pages as Magnum / K-series kit numbers | Nothing under that number |
| This catalog | Empty Kohler product search | The 1987-1995 C/K window only |
A buyer who wants 24 393 16-S or 24 559 10-S written as a Kangsong SKU is asking this catalog to invent a card. Keep the number on the sheet and leave the empty search empty.
Keep those shopping-page objects beside the ticket as reference ink. They still do not open a Kangsong Kohler listing.
An electric or EFI Kohler pump is only the motor that sheet already prints
Only when that same Kohler sheet prints a motor or module is electric or EFI allowed; one engine can print more than one pump object, and owners still treat pressure at the float needle as a limit.
An Electric / EFI Kohler pump is still a line on that engine sheet. It remains a small-engine motor or module the sheet already named. The electric canister in the vehicle lesson linked above is not the default Kohler pulse carton, and it is still not a truck kit.
On at least some applications, the same engine sheet can name more than one pump object — for example a high-pressure electric path and a separate low-pressure vacuum path. Copy both lines from that sheet. Do not collapse them into one carton.
The float needle is the carburetor valve that shuts the bowl when the bowl is full. Owners treat an unprinted electric swap as a pressure decision at that needle.
From the field: On Lawn Mower Forum, a Kohler Magnum owner reached for a printed Kohler number first when photos did not match, and the reply warned that an electric swap must not overwhelm the float needle. https://www.lawnmowerforum.com/threads/fuel-pump.33984/
No pressure number from that thread is copied here. The page refuses a silent electric swap that the sheet does not print.
KS-360501 is the 1987-1995 C/K window, not a Kohler SKU
KS-360501 prints a 1987-1995 C/K complete assembly, and that window is not a Kohler small-engine pump.
Per Wikipedia’s fuel-pump article, the pump’s job is moving fuel from the tank out to the carburetor or the fuel injector. On that same article, fuel-injected engines rely on an in-tank electric pump or a high-pressure pump mounted on the engine.
In-tank units there are often an assembly with strainer and sender. That in-tank electric assembly is the truck carton, and the Kohler pulse cube is absent from that vehicle lesson.
| Drive or window | What the line is naming | What this catalog prints |
|---|---|---|
| Pulse or vacuum | The pulse / vacuum cube on that Kohler sheet | No Kohler SKU |
| Mechanical valve-cover | The arm-through-cover carton on that same Kohler sheet | No Kohler SKU |
| Printed Kohler electric or EFI | The motor or module that same sheet already prints | No Kohler SKU |
| Gravity with no pump | A no-pump line when the tank sits above the carburetor | No pump carton |
| 1987-1995 C/K truck | The complete in-tank assembly for that pickup window | KS-360501 only for that window |
A truck complete assembly offered as the small-engine carton is the swapped machine this page is trying to stop. Shared words fuel and pump do not merge those two printed windows.
The KS-360501 title line lists 1987-1995 C/K 1500, 2500, and 3500 pickups together with OE 25168719 and E3902. On that same kit the electrical and flow labels read DC 12V, a 2-pin connector, and 43.3-49.5 Gph.
Maximum Air Pressure 12-26 on that label is an air figure, and it is not Kohler fuel pressure. The overview also places the pack under a 1-Year Limited Warranty. None of those words say Kohler.
A ticket that actually names 1987-1995 C/K after the Kohler fork can stay on this window. A ticket that still names a small-engine pulse cube cannot take that kit just because both objects can say electric.
Which catalog line fits an unprinted Kohler job
Unprinted Kohler jobs stay on the category. The C/K kit opens only when the sheet is that truck window.
This catalog does not print a Kohler SKU. Browse the catalog for unprinted Kohler jobs when the sheet still names a Kohler pulse, vacuum, mechanical, or printed-electric number.
Use the 1987-1995 C/K electric gasoline pump only after the sheet already names 1987-1995 C/K 1500/2500/3500, 25168719, or E3902.
If the sheet already named a Kohler pulse, vacuum, mechanical, or printed-electric number, keep that number on the sheet and stay on the category. If the sheet is the printed C/K window, the kit is the carton that can move.
FAQ
Does every Kohler engine have a fuel pump?
No. With the tank above the carburetor, gravity alone can feed the bowl, so that engine carries no pump line. Order a pump only when the Kohler sheet names one.
What does a kohler fuel pump line still have to name?
It has to name the pulse or vacuum pump, the mechanical pump, or the electric/EFI pump that same sheet already prints. If the sheet also prints a number, that number stays on the sheet.
Is KS-360501 a Kohler pump?
No. KS-360501 prints a 1987-1995 C/K complete assembly. That window is a pickup-truck kit, not a Kohler small-engine SKU.
Does this catalog print 24 393 16-S or 24 559 10-S?
No. Those shopping-page objects, and Magnum kit numbers with them, stay on seller pages. This catalog does not print them as Kangsong SKUs.
Where does the pulse-cycle explanation live?
On the vacuum-pump page linked above. Here the counter only has to spot a pulse carton and leave the stroke story on the vacuum page.
Can the C/K electric kit replace a Kohler pulse pump?
No. The C/K kit is the 1987-1995 truck window. A Kohler pulse cube stays on its own sheet.
Is a mechanical valve-cover Kohler pump the same carton as a pulse pump?
No. The mechanical valve-cover or cam-lever line is a different printed Kohler object from the three-hose pulse cube.
Is the C/K air label a Kohler fuel pressure?
No. Maximum Air Pressure 12-26 is the air label on the C/K kit. It is not Kohler fuel pressure and not a float-needle limit.
