k181s kohler engine, cast iron block, seems to need a freshening up, i think the rings are shot. idk transmission details, probably a 3 or 4 speed, but looks like a 4x4" bolt pattern though, so possible to throw on some honda rims, make a trike/gocart out of it since i have ford front spindles/rotors (and rims) and some subie rims that may fit the rearend with modification

 

Kohler called me yesterday and offered me a Coop engineering position. I was kinda pissed. They were my top choice but i had already accepted an offer a couple months ago. Kohler is friggin awesome.

 

this motor is from the early 60's, so you know it isnt gonna be like a tecumseh and eat a rod at 3800 rpm, where a briggs will push 5500 all day and only bend a valve or some ----

 

you and johnny should hang out, both of your ---- is ------ worthless.

 

ahaahhahahahaha
prove him wrong jon? maybe

 

who the ---- are you? ****** *** lurker, post some **** of your sister, fister

 

i dont understand why you guys keep building go-karts w/ weak *** engines. why dont you use a ------- bike engine, even if its some 80's POS motor it will be a lot faster than these 5-10hp turds.


i have no desire to build one but if i did that would be the only way

 

^^^agreed. I'm sure egay has just about any kind of motor you could want. Even a 250cc 2-stroke motor would be 100x better than that heavy underpowered tank of an unrelaible motor.

ugh you ********, i never said i was going to use the motor even if IT was any good, which its not. whoever had it, ran it out of oil and kept going, the piston wiggles side to side on the wristpin, and you can look down and see the rings on the one side. NO compression, piston is basically fucked and i doubt i will get one ti replace it. the rearend is all cast iron, and its 5bolt, looks like 5x4.5", i looked too quick at it last night, and ive got a bunch of those rims laying around.

 

It sounded like you were.....
