K181 hole

Working on semi - destroyed K181 and noticed a drilled hole (about 1/4 inch) in the bottom of the cylinder. It's about an inch or so up from the bottom.

Is this hole Kohler engineering or did this wrecked rod do that?

Hi,

this hole is for the crankcase breather. It goes into the breather chamber where the valve springs are (behind the carbie).

Kind Regards

I have a Troy built self propelled walk behind mower with a Honda GCV160 engine. It will only stay started for about a minute before shutting down. Can anyone tell me what the problem could be. Thanks AdamRead More

20 hp White riding mower not starting

cleo74 on Sep 07, 2009

This is a White lawn tractor model GT-2055 with 20hp brigg&stratton engine. Label under seat for numbers has been removed could not find serial number. The mower died real quick while mowing and has not started since. The engine will crank but seems weak. Checked wire to sparkplug and sparkplug, both are sparking. There seemed to be some oil/sludge buildup on sparkplug. Also the starter was recently rebuilt. When I took the air filter case off there is a rubber hose (return line from motor?) that connects to bottom plate of air filter casing that was cracked and finally broke off. Do I need to replace it? There is also a small amount of fuel in bottom of carb right before the choke wing (not sure what it's called). Tried to start again at this point, motor turned over, attempts to start and shoots tiny puffs of smoke out of the broken tube. I'm not real mechanical and just trying to get this working myself. Any tips or advice greatly appreciated.Read More
