The service manual for the engine should be available from the Kohler Engines site.
Thanks for sharing the link. I happened across this post in my research. Unfortunately the internals on his engine are different than mine. His has centrifugally operated weights and mine does not.

Can anyone explain to me how the ACR system works on my engine? It's a SV715-0019 engine, 22hp Kohler Courage twin.

I came up with some pics of the camshaft out of one of these. I just don't see anything that looks like a compression release anywhere on these pictures. Can someone tell me what I am missing?

Check the valve seats to ensure they haven't loosened up and moved back towards the rocker arms....Is this a Courage or Command engine? Briggs Intek are known for this....

I am pretty sure that the compression release is derived by way of a small bump in the grind of the exhaust valve. If you have the plugs out and the valve covers off, turning the engine slowly by hand back and forth, and pressing down on the exhaust rocker arm, just around the the TDC area of each cylinder you should be able to feel it. It is so slight you probably can't see it. If that seems good you might want to revisit the starter.

Here is a link to same problem on another venue that might be helpful.. Be sure to read to end (2 pages).

I thought the compression release had to be an "extra" lobe on the cam. It seems to me this wouldn't be so susceptible to wear that it wears that lobe down.

Thankfully we have a place locally that rebuilds starters. I think I will take it back off and get their opinion....but by the looks of the starter internals its time for it to get some attention anyhow.

As soon as I have an update on the starter I will post it. I bet they are 4-5 days out on the repair from when I bring it in.

Default It cuts!

I found out if I rotate the starter and turn the leaf guard atop the engine with the palm of my hand I can get the starter to push past the compression lock and start.....so I said the heck with it, let's mow some grass.....after I get the deck lift cable back in to the right side pulley.

The mower runs and cuts GOOD! The engine is smooth with really good power and other than the blades needing sharpened it's a grass cuttin' son of a gun!

I need to get an air filter. Once I do I'll "twist and start" the mower, finish up the yard then pull the starter and have the rebuilder give it a go!

I might be crazy. But this sounds like an engine that might be just slightly out of timing.

As in like a bent woodruff key on the flywheel? A coil out of position?

I just stopped short of wondering this myself....a bit too advanced? EDIT/ADD: The magnet fasteners on the flywheel have witness marks. Someone has messed with it.

How does one set the timing on these engines cooperino?

Is it a courage or a command?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
