Kohler / Rehlko 25 098 24-S 12V Solenoid Shift Electric Starter Motor

The Rehlko (formerly Kohler Engines) 25 098 24-S is a new OEM-sourced 12-volt solenoid-shift electric starter motor designed as a direct replacement for Kohler Command and Command Pro twin-cylinder engines, including CH and CV series engines commonly found in commercial lawn and garden equipment, zero-turn mowers, and light utility power units. The unit is manufactured by Delco Remy / Remy International (as cast into the commutator end frame — "Delco Remy, Made in Korea") and carries Kohler part number 25 098 24-S (also listed as 2509824-S); the internal reference code WI 53044 and serial number 61008382 are visible on the motor label. The solenoid-shift (Bendix drive) design engages the pinion gear into the ring gear via the integral top-mounted solenoid before cranking begins, providing reliable engagement and protecting the ring gear; the die-cast aluminum drive-end housing and steel field frame construction are consistent with OEM specification. This starter ships new in original Rehlko-branded packaging (date-coded 2025.09.24), making it a fresh, shelf-new unit suitable for direct installation without modification on compatible Kohler engines.
