Heck yeah! This engine came off of a tiller around 20 years ago or so and one of my buddy's clients, he's a small engine mechanic, and he put it away on a shelf and never touched it again. Fast forward about 10 years, he tells me he has this engine, I'm like all excited, because he told me he was going to give it to me. So he brings it, and I'm ecstatic because I had never had an old engine like this. Only engine I'd ever had was a 4HP Honda. So I was really excited to get a new to me engine. I filed the points, and rebuilt the carburetor and it fired on the very first pull! Glad you liked it, and thanks for subbing!

Is that a one cylinder engine? pretty Big for a one cylinder. (I once had a push mower that I had for years and never put any oil in it. (Long story short it started no problem lol!)

Yeah, it is. It’s a Kohler K91RT. Not sure of the size. It’s 4 horsepower. It has a reduction gearbox on the back of it, and the reason why it’s got one is because it originally came off of a tiller. It was given to a buddy of mine from a guy he knew who had the tiller and my buddy (who is a small engine mechanic) put it in his shop around 12 years ago and never touched it again, until about 2022 when he and I got to talking and he told me he had an old Kohler engine. (I had wanted one ever since I could remember.) So he pulled it out of his shop and brought it to me, again this thing sat longer than 10 years. I would say it sat around 15-20. Not sure, but I got it running again and it runs great

@@that74sears Cool! ya the only engines that I know we have are mainly V-2 and V-4 Engines.

[@that74sears]

@@mineority6310 What do you mean all you have is V2's and V4's? There's V8's, V6's, and inline 6 engines like the 12 valve Cummins Turbo Diesel and the famous 300 cubic inch Ford inline 6 gasser motor

[@mineority6310]
