Burns lots of oil and hard to start.:cry:

I would like to rebuild it myself, any ideas where I should start.:confused:

I would start with checking head gaskets

Go to the Kohler website: www.kohlerplus.com
Enter as a guest and download a service manual for your engine. This way you may have a better idea of what you need to do. Check the oil for gas contamination, and justin's suggestion for head gaskets are a couple of places to start.
