Q on Kohler industrials
Anyone have an opinion on Kohler industrial magnum engines. I'm lookin at a12hp with between 1 and 2000 hrs duty on a highway sign board duty. Is this a good cart engine? I know it aint a big block.....but. Any input that will help me make a decision is appreciated

Re: Q on Kohler industrials
It's not much bigger than a stock engine, seems like a lot of work for not
much gain. Just my opinion. |

Re: Q on Kohler industrials
Kohler makes a good engine. I think I would try to go at least one more step larger though....

Re: Q on Kohler industrials
Yeah, it would probably be adaquite, not impressive. But the guy wants too much for it so........
 Seems these motors do enjoy a pretty gd. rep. |

Re: Q on Kohler industrials
I would recommend a Kohler command. Those are the good engines.

Re: Q on Kohler industrials
Yep. I had a 15.5hp. Ten years in a riding mower - can't kill it! Tried with diesel fuel once....but it survived. Too bad all those mowers are vert. shaft or there would be a never ending supply of good cart engines.

I know what you mean. I have a 80 model John Deere mowing with a 10hp in it and you cannot kill it either. Still runs like a top today. I use it for a yard cart now though. No deck under it at all... |

Re: Q on Kohler industrials
Hey scottyb, Hey mods, I also have a 15 CommandPro and was wondering if any of you on this thread knows if they make the hot cams and(or) rev-kits similar to the brigs BB stuff. Something that brings these motors on out of the workshed ......... ANYTHING more than an 8HP motor is MORE.
I didn't come to Hijack the thread, just to open up some Kohler dialog |
