Disconnect Spark Plug Lead; Turn Off Fuel Supply; Drain Oil From Crankcase And Remove Oil Filter; Remove Air Cleaner - Kohler KS530 Service Manual

Clean all parts thoroughly as engine is disassembled.
Only clean parts can be accurately inspected
and gauged for wear or damage. There are many
commercially available cleaners that will quickly remove
grease, oil, and grime from engine parts. When such a
cleaner is used, follow manufacturer's instructions and
