FLtractor 181 #1 Posted 4 hours ago Evening, While researching and learning about Kohler engines, I came across this, unaware that Kohler still made small engines. anyone have experience with this one or similar modern Kohler engines? How do they compare say to those harbor freight predators and or The genuine Honda 200s those are based off of? https://www.smallenginewarehouse.com/sh270-3142?setCurrencyId=1&sku=SH270-3142&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=22419493833&utm_content=&utm_term=&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=pmaxbriggs&utm_content=&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22429555384&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgt293ZmclQMVnXV_AB3owjxMEAQYASABEgIrivD_BwE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
