    Kohler Engines for Small Equipment.... Might Be Going Away

    I've had Kohler engines in a few lawn mowers and snow equipment over the years and they've been about the best I've owned and parts when needed were usually pretty available. It appears Kohler engines has been bought out and the future of the Kohler small engines is questionable.

    Kubota ZG127S with Kohler engine

    I have a ZG127s, that has the hiss of death. One cylinder has compression and the other hisses. I have read about the head gaskets blowing and suspect that this is the case. My questions are? Will the new gaskets fix it and last? Do I need to replace the engine? Why will Kohler not admit...

    Kohler K582 ignition upgrade?

    I have a bolens HT-23 with the horizontal twin Kohler K582 engine (23 HP) It's getting difficult to start at times. I'm concerned about the ignition coil arrangement, as it uses one coil to fire both cylinders with a "wasted spark" philosophy. Of course that means one cylinder spark plug...

    Kohler K161T info?

    Hi, does anyone know where I can find the mounting and shaft dimensions for an old Kohler K161T engine? I'm working on an old Troybilt hose tiller probably from the early 70's and the mounting dimensions would be a big help before I start tearing everything down. Any help is greatly appreciated!
