Haha I wish that were trueI didnt think it got hot up there.

I was surprised how clean my engine was once I got the flywheel off.Ambient temps aren't as much a factor as dirty cooling fins.
Oven cleaner does a heck of a job cleaning them...no good on painted surfaces.
I put an CH25 on my old BC620 and it's great before I sold it to my friend. Now I have a Bandit 250 and 65. The 25 hp Kohler on the 65 died recently and I'm in the process now to put a 37 HP Kohler on it and it'll be kick ass machine (only $2800 delivered). Not sure if the 6' Vermeer can handle that kink of power. ErwinThanks for that Dave, this ol Kohler has treated me so good besides me replacing the lifters twice, stator and new flywheel, because the magnets had all moved and Taryl on you tube I’m sure what having his teeth fixed to what they are now back then so he hadn’t shared with the world about that repair when I needed it bsck in 06’ ... so I’d thought about the Honda and likely without a ton of Research on shaft heights and diameters then mounting hole location, I just priced out a 27HP CH7300019 KROLER (as Taryl calls it) and up here in Canada $3860, but to “special order” the identical CH25 that’s the original on it now, 2-3 months and $4500. And let’s not forget ONLY 13% tax over and above that. So ya soon as I’m done sending this I’m gonna go jump the chipper again and do some testing. If I can keep it going for now I’m fine with that. While it’s on my mind, this engine over the years, being my auto feed has never worked (since i got it 2yrs old) But you load that engine down Hard before you stop the feed and let it pick back up again, that engine would knock so hard you’d swear it’s gonna come apart.. yet shut it off and immediately fire it back up and it would smooth right out. Against the advice of Canada Power I started running straight SAE 50 and that solved it. Of course I lighten the viscosity up once it starts cooling down in the fall but have you guys ever come across that right these model Kohlers, I mean Krolers??
