    I ran a Kohler K91T motor (4HP) on a 25” California Trimmer lawnmower for many years in the 1960’s-1980’s.

    You do a very nice restoration job. If I may offer a suggestion
    Although it costs more , I like to plate certain parts mainly hardware. Paint on carburetors can cause problems. Of course it adds outside cost. I get it. I restore anything from Clinton, Wisconsin, Kohler k91- K90.
    They are Americana......
    Good luck.

    I used to do this for a living, I worked at a small engine repair shop and all the antiques would be sent my way and I would get them screaming. My favorite is the tecumsah long stroke cuz even though the horsepower ratings were low the torque was very high and equal to modern day twin cylinders

    Looks great, I never had a chance to work on a Kohler but always wanted to. I like your detail work, I'm the same way when rebuilding. I agree with not painting the carburetor but I might polish it.

    I love Kohler engine as the Wisconsin they were hard working engines and lasted long time if maintained I don't know why they paint the carb I cleaned it like you and spray clear spray know I polished my float I know they going to get tarnished but I painted mine with 2coats of clear nail polish but if you run Sea Foam in the fuel system cleans I used battership gray

      I was a tecumsah guy, the long stroke engines were amazing and I had one that was fifty years old and still ran when I put it on a wheel horse and sold it to a guy that wanted a small tractor that could pull around trailers at a campsite

      @@brucebonkowski4526 well that's what happens when you team up with sears and craftsman, I haven't bought craftsman tools since harbor freight opened in our area. Also working at a small engine repair shop for years I learned just how crappy craftsman mowers became. I had a 51 sears and roebuck (became craftsman) and it could pull a stump with minimum effort despite its small size but modern craftsmans blow the tranny pulling a leaf vac

      @@brucebonkowski4526 just cuz Briggs was highly available doesn't mean it was better, I would come across a lot of Briggs that would bust the diaphragm on the carb and it wouldn't take too long and it would be back in the shop for the same problem or the block would crack at the valves especially the exhaust side and you'd have to replace the engine. Give me good old cast iron block tecumseh, the block would hold up to anything

      I always use SAE 10W-30 but that all depends on your climate and the season you will use the engine in.
