We have built thousands of Kohler single motors on here and have had about .001 percent issues with them which is better than any factory new engines so we know how to build quality engines! 3 years ago we started telling customers we didn't warranty engines using a China carb and we did that for a reason.
I don't say they don't work just to sell carbs, I'm plenty busy building carbs and can barely keep up now! Lean emission carbs have been damaging engines since they came in the 1990's. I've seen engine run so hot that it melted the hoods on 1 yellow brand tractor if engine got dirty. The China carbs are super lean !
Seems every time I tell someone they run way too lean they tell me they know how to adjust it! Problem is you can turn top and side mix screws out all the way (which is the richest setting) and engine will barely run! Many people tell me they put choke partially on. That's why engines are getting trashed.
I can easily back what I say. You judge a good carb by temperature. Take any good OEM Kohler carb and adjust and check exhaust temp as it comes out of engine. Should be approx 850 degrees. When you mow grass or work hard it will jump to 950 or little higher. Take a China carb and make as rich as possible!
Then check exhaust temp and it's usually over 1,000 degrees and when you hit grass it jumps to 1,200 or 1,300. Just turn off lights at night and see the exhaust glow. Serious damage starts in very quickly. Old worn out motors get less damage because of wear and loose fitting parts. New engines its more of a problem.
If properly rebuild clearances are brought back to factory specs so engine is tight. You increase temps inside and since aluminum parts such as piston and rod expand at approx 8 times more than the block it is a big problem. And every problem we have on singles is someone putting a china carb or fuel pump on,
A used engine already has a worn bore so then when it is honed out the bore gets even bigger so just installing new rings or even a new piston and rings the piston actually flops loose in bore and wears faster causing engine to wear out quickly not to mention it really never had a tight seal as a bored engine would.
We specialize in Kohler Pulling carbs, Kohler pulling engines K series and Kohler rebuilt engines. We also specialize in Kohler & Onan twin rebuilt engines both P and B series!
We are here Mon. thru Fri from 9 to 4. When you call please leave a message if we don't answer as I usually have machines running! I 'll call back! Current lead times to rebuild are 6 to 12 weeks depending on motor as this is busy season. Also we never have engines ready ever as there are too many variations.
We also specialize in building Kohler 10HP thru 16HP Singles from Stock to Stock Altered! We have sold 350+ motors that are winners all over the US. I build from Stock class to Stock Altered class motors from 4,000 RPM to Mods at 9,000 so we can build most any class.
Since all items are custom built it's best to call ahead to make sure item is ready for pickup !

Single cylinder engines currently average 7 weeks to build and Twin cylinder engines take about 12 weeks. Engines have dozens of variations so we build to your application. Also good usable parts in todays world are an issue. Pulling engines usually take a little longer to build!
This takes time so be patient and I will get all our products listed over the next few months.
We love our customers, so feel free to visit during normal business hours.
