To test spark on a Kohler command twin engine what is the minimum rpm?

Straight from Kohler website. Hope this helps. RPM 550-600 rpm.





Test for spark.


1. With the engine stopped, disconnect one spark


plug lead. Connect the spark plug lead to post


terminal of spark tester (see Section 2), and


attach tester clip to a good engine ground.


NOTE: If two testers are available, testing can be


performed simultaneously for both cylinders.


However, if only one tester is available, two


individual tests must be performed. The side


not being tested must have the spark plug


lead connected or grounded. Do not crank


the engine or perform tests with one spark


plug lead disconnected and not grounded or


permanent system damage may occur.


2. Crank the engine over, establishing a minimum of


550-600 RPM, and observe tester(s) for spark.


3. On a twin cylinder engine, repeat the spark test


on the opposite cylinder if cylinders are being


tested individually.|||if your looking to test for spark ,just the rpm from the electric starter is good
