You're getting into some serious HP now. I like the S/S stand. You did a beautiful job on it Chuck.

Chuck that's a cool engine. Yeah the plastic gears are even on the cam. I'm afraid of that problem with mine. Didn't like that change by Kohler. There's a aftermarket place that makes billet one...
Chuck not wanting to miss lead anyone, but the 2/1 ratio won't work on a stock 40 Hp Kohler because of the power curve. My motor has been modified to turn between 5000 RPM and 5500 RPM. I would...
Thanks Chuck it's a proven drive. I have some still running after 12 years. Just change bearing yearly is what I recommend. Some don't but for ten dollars a bearing it's good maintaince.
Chuck it was good talking to you today. Here where I'm at right now. Another week and I should be finished.
US Chrome can nikasil any cylinder.
Finally got time to work on my airboat. Here some pics of the new redrive I'm just finishing up. Powdercoated flat black. Due to the cam this will be a 2 to 1.
Chuck hopefully you have another Camo by now. I be coming the first of March.
I built a airboat with a Cushman. It's actually a OMC engine. Outboard Marine Corp. Did a lot of mods to it and it still wasn't enough power.
Chuck you are right either way will work. I'm removing all the throttle linkage above so there's no need for the bracket and stuff above. The covers remove very easy when it hasn't been run. New...
Yeah that's what I was thinking Chuck. Take all of it out and plug the shaft hole.
Ever wonder what to do with a brand new Kohler 40? I took mine apart to see how it works. Hope I can remember how to put it back...
Some of the Harley custom builders use them for primarys to the trans. Looks to be 3" belt.
For airboats it's not enough HP. I went back and read the e-bay ad. The company must have bought the rights to sale under that name. Too bad it's not 40 HP.
Konig is a German company now out of busness. Deiter Konig was a legend in Pro outboard racing (fuel motor). I have the outboard version in my shop. I raced outboards for 25 years. Deiter got into...
Man I thought it was cold in SE Texas (27 degrees this morning). It's a heat wave compared to your area.
Just got back from Florida and let me tell you it's cold in Florida. Got there and it was typical Florida weather. By the time we left it was 32 degrees and expecting 29. Chuck's probably froze to...
No sorry we're going back down the coast, Via I-10 to SE Texas
Thanks I'll be coming by the 31st. Hopefully by 10:00AM.
Chuck will there be a 116 Mini I can look at?
I called him yesterday and he said he sold it Christmas Eve.
Just my luck. Head to Florida 12/30/09 with cash and it has already sold.
No I was looking at the 40HP. The 44HP has been stroked and so it will limit the RPM's. I would like to turn it 5500-6000. The mod engines defeat the purpose of the lawn engines which is cost. ...
OK He did answer my questions on e-bay. This looks like an excellent buy.
Anyone know about the 40 Generac engines on e-bay? I have e-mailed question to them and received no reply. This always raises a flag for me. I assume they are drop shipped. There's no phone...
