| hot it running. Disconnected the kill wire , freed up the cylinder with a pipe wrench , cleaned the spark plug and filled the cylinder with oil over night then turned it over for a while with the spark plug out and then put it in and added some gas in the carb and she fired right up! First start in over 4 years. | |

| Well nice machine for what you have into it. I can see you're officially addicted now. I thought you were already set with your murray, craftsman, and snapper death trap, but it looks like your collection is just going to keep growing. | |

I was addicted long ago, just did not have so many mowers then! Well I guess I did, but they were junk and never turned into anything and I didn't habe a welder so that greatly impeded my creativity. | |

| I'd like to see you rip apart that engine and take pictures of the cam damage. We'd all find that pretty interesting. And if it's worth it to put it back together (it might not be)that'd be really cool to see too. | |

| Yeah, i will take it apart today and mabye make a video about it, idk. i would like to fix it but the new part would be more costly than just putting in a good old durable engine that i know runs | |

| I have an oppy, a Briggs 12 flat head already off and ready to bolt in, then I have parts mtds that the engines supposedly run. I would really like to get this kohler running again but I might put it on my other build off plans if I fix it. It was pretty under powered with the governor on it . | |

| Yeah I never liked the Idea of the plastic cam gears in some newer engines. It probably it a bit quiter but I still don't know if I'd trust it. How many hp is the opposed you have?
