Not easy w/out the proper tools. If you're sure you're going to replace it, you can tear it out w/ pliers, just be sure to get out the stepped plastic retaining ring that holds the bulb in. CAREFULLY use two small flathead screwdrivers to snap the new one in.

I believe that the ratio ought to be 25:1
Actually, the owners manual calls for 100:1 ratio. Just read this owners manual yesterday.

I thought this was an awful lean ratio, and I plan on running 50:1 in mine.

Oil shooting out of your kohler engines breather valve why?
made in china
ANS2:
I don't recall any Kohlers being made in China but, if you have overfilled the crankcase, made in China or not, oil will come out the breather. Look also to see if you have excessive blow-by from the combustion gasses as indicated by a good dry and wet compression test. If you are getting excessive blow-by, that would indicate that you need to concentrate on a top-end rebuild.
