The things that people junk, amazes me. Most times an old machine like that is far from used up and doesn't need all that much to work again.
I just wish Kohler would have stayed with those engines they'd still have the reputation as the best out there. Today's Kohler's are a shell of what they used to be. They should have stopped "innovating" after the magnum or at least the command series. Anything from them since is total crap.
And they act like they're ashamed to have built engines stronger than the $#1t-house at one time in their existence. The courage and after that the 7000 series are worthless.
