Had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago on a Kohler CV12.5S. Problem was the Carburetor float valve was leaking causing the fuel to overflow and flood the carb. Gas then runs into the engine via the air intake manifold. Once the cylinder is flooded - the gas can end up anywhere/everywhere. Suggest you buy a carb kit and overhaul it.
