Low hour 258 hours,, but engine locked up.
Oil was changed before it was due. Every 25 hours, operator manual says every 50 hours.
Was using a NAPA Gold filter on it. Engine locked up 2 or 3 hours after an oil change. Was using Castrol full synthetic in it.
From the first day we owned it, bought brand new, it would smoke like crazy for 45 seconds to a minute. Not operator error, would discontinue choke as soon as it started.
Anyhow, it was a KOHLER 7000 series engine 22 horsepower. 2 cylinder.
Found a brand new engine from Surplus Center. But, it is only an 18 hp single cylinder. Will it work? Not so sure we want to put another KOHLER back in. DOUG
