Kohler 25hp engine

Hi not really thought about it!

It needs stripping down and new rings or head gasket or both.I've not looked at it yet as I've had no time to get it out of the machine and stripped.

It does run but it's burning oil fairly rapidly!

Get in touch if interested and I'll send you the spec.

 

 

The one on my grinder drinks oil like a bastard, keeps on going though!

The problem is that many grinders are actually badly designed. When the grinder is working the last of the stump, well below ground level, the twin cylinder engine is operating outside of it design inclination.

The front cylinder can be virtually horizontal at times and can 'pump' lubricating oil. this forces it past the oil control ring and causes oil consumption, carbon build up and rapid plug degradation.

Simply bad design with no thought for the engine.

Ah, bang on mate, it's the front cylinder! Never thought of it like that, cheers
