Gregor 4,838 #1 Posted January 18, 2021 I may have a line on a Kohler 16 hp, K341 AQS. $150 I think that's pretty cheap. "Ran When Parked" It would be a lot of fun to rebuild that I think. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleredrider 408 #2 Posted January 18, 2021 Id say that's a good deal. I have one, but can't remember what I paid for it. I'm putting it in a short frame, pretty much making a bigger version of the 1055. It ticked me off last year and haven't touched it. After all I did to it, think it was the points timing is off, cause no matter what i did it wouldn't fire. Had fuel, spark and compression, but wouldn't fire. It was amusing watching the front end jump up n down while trying to start it lol, lot of mass going up n down!!!! I can't wait to get it going, only "real" experience with Kohlers is an 8 horse in ranger, and I was thoroughly impressed.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisThornton 4,769 #3 Posted January 18, 2021 I'd probably buy it. Getting harder to find and it might need a rebuild or just gas. AND, if it has the carb, starter, fuel pump and .... Neat to think you could buy a C-80 and quickly have a C-160. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gregor 4,838 #5 Posted January 19, 2021 I was a bit too late. I missed out. What's really disappointing, is what the motor was attached to. Motor and accessories 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gregor 4,838 #8 Posted January 19, 2021 FOR SALE! One wife, CHEAP! I told my wife about the Kohler motor I missed out on. She said........What are you going to do with another motor? I said, I may not do anything with it, just have it. It's like your nic-nacs in the house. They aren't good for anything, you just look at them. She said......Oh, kind-a like you huh? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does that count?? As long as she thought it was a cool idea or just seemed like fun, then it sure does! My son and I were discussing life partnerships when he had begun dating his now wife. After hearing out my thoughts, he observed: "So what you're saying is that you need someone who punches at your weight." Yep. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment behind that although her punching skill might be slightly above mine. Or most. I've often thought that we met in the best possible way which is that neither one of us was looking or for that matter even wanted anything to do with dating. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
