Achto 29,402 #1 Posted July 19, 2020 Just wondering if anyone knew off hand if a flywheel from a K161 will work on a K181? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,929 #2 Posted July 19, 2020 Glad you asked that Dan. I have no clue but may be needing to try a swap . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,279 #3 Posted July 19, 2020 From what I can figure the part numbers are different. K-161 28622 uses flywheel # 231638. K-181 30108 uses flywheel # 231770. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tuul Crib 7,339 #4 Posted July 19, 2020 I'm thinking the crankshaft size is going to be the same. And the part numbers might have something to do with the stater power or amount of amps? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 29,402 #5 Posted July 19, 2020 No charging provision needed. I do wonder if they are balanced differently to compensate for piston weight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldredrider 2,553 #7 Posted July 19, 2020 Balancing on Kohler engines is done on the crankshaft counter weights or thru balance gears. All flywheels are independantly balanced. Hope this helps. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
