:think: In 1987 they had a 418-8, 418-A and the 418-C. All I can think of is it stands for commercial. No clue how many. :)

The first series Kohler twins weren't the greatest as they were splash lubed vs pressure lubed like an Onan.

What year did they pressure lube them? I thought the last year of the c195 (84?) had full press lubrication.

The 418 series used Magnum twins with full pressure lubrication.  They are great engines (really the same as Series II KT 17s but with a magneto ignition.)  Never sure why WH didn't spec an oil filter..some users did and you can retrofit one)
