Recommended Posts

I am having a heck of a time finding parts for the new k90 I just lucked into. On the usual parts websites, its not listed. The k91 is and even the spec number for my engine. Help!

I know this too!   I have a K-90 block with K-91 bearing plate, magneto and flywheel parts that will work on the motor.   Not sure about other -crossover parts.

Have never had a 9x engine but wonder if it wasn't simply a name change to meet the demands of the future at the time. The 1st number or numbers are the approximate cubic inch displacement and the 1 or 2 following are the number of cylinders. Took me a long time to realize that.

The list for the K-90 & K-91 engines are combined on many parts look-up sites.

If you found the spec number of your K-90 engine and it's listed as being a K-91, that's probably why.

It's not the first time incorrect information has been found on a website and it won't be the last.

I have more faith in the OEM manuals, but they aren't guaranteed to be correct 100% of the time either.

 

There are differences in parts, but a lot of them are upgrades to the ignition, connecting rod style, starting system,etc. The basic design was unchanged throughout the 20 year+ production run.

If you can't find what you're looking for online, post your request(s) here. I have a couple of old Kohler dealer manuals and would be glad to help.

I love how the badge tells you point gap plug gap and oil capacity. I can't tell how old it is but it looks old

Would points and condenser be different?
