Probably some corporate fair trade thing whereby the Kohler electrical section had to tender for an engine supplier and Briggs came back with the best price. Seems far fetched but why else would you use the competition? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JAinVA 4,636 #6 Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) I have a Kohler genset with a Honda that I bought new five years ago.Love both but why it didn't come with a Kohler command is a mystery. Edited June 24, 2020 by JAinVA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 29,402 #7 Posted June 24, 2020 My guess would be that Kohler generator division was targeting a price market and they could not meet the price with a Kohler engine. Briggs was commonly known for adjusting quality to build an engine to meet their customers price requirement. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
