Hi all, when I purchased my Power King a couple of months ago the sell had a twin opposed engine sitting next to the PK and asked if I wanted it he wanted it out of has way. It had no cooling tins on it and he thought it was an Onan, I walked by it for a couple of months looking at it but never really looked it over. Yesterday I looked closer and discovered it a Kohler KT but with no cooling tins its a guess as to which one, so is there anyway to determine what model and series it is without disassembling the engine. I know I can remove the head and measure the bore & stroke that will tell me if its a 17 or 19 hp but is there and thing that will tell the series?
TIA

Not really. Mostly internally different and there are 2 version of the 17 and 19. My guess would be Kohler sold many more 17s than 19s. If it is a series one engine do not put much money in it. Roger

Thanks Roger, I kind of thought that might be the deal, but was hoping maybe there were some numbers on the case. No I'm not going to spend much money on it.
