Frequently Asked Questions

How can I confirm that Lester 5796 matches my Kohler Courage 20hp starter or SV590 engine?
Check the identification label on your engine block and compare the original starter number. This unit is a direct fit for the Kohler SV540 starter, Kohler SV590 starter, Kohler SV600 starter, and other Courage Single (SV470-SV620) models. Ensure your original has a 12V, 14-tooth, CCW rotation configuration.
Is there a core charge for this starter?
No. This listing is for a brand-new starter assembly, so the old unit does not need to be returned.
Why do the 14-tooth count and CCW rotation matter?
The drive gear and rotation must match the original starting system. A different tooth count or rotation can prevent proper engagement, so compare both specifications before installation.
Are new starter mounting bolts included?
No. The package contains the starter motor assembly only. Inspect the original mounting hardware and replace any damaged hardware with parts specified for the equipment.
What warranty coverage applies to this Durautos starter?
Durautos provides a full 1-year limited warranty against electrical and mechanical manufacturing defects for this starter. Please contact our support team with your order number for claim requirements or technical assistance.
