Power crazy!

For you power freeks out there Kohler have released a 40HP engine - you can now replace your puny 35hp B&S http://hovercraft.org.uk/images/icons/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif http://hovercraft.org.uk/images/icons/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif

Three questions:

Does it come in horizontal shaft?

Does it shake itsself apart less quickly than the old 25 used to?

Are the coils sealed?

I can answer one question Ewan...

It looks pretty heavy at 60kg (or is that normal for a 4 stroke, i'm not sure http://hovercraft.org.uk/images/icons/smiley_icons/icon_confused.gif)

It is heavy - but it is an industrial engine. The smaller block engines (B&S 18-26hp) weigh in around 36-40Kg. Weight isn't the only problem - check out the price http://hovercraft.org.uk/images/icons/smiley_icons/icon_eek.gif http://hovercraft.org.uk/images/icons/smiley_icons/icon_eek.gif

PHWOOOOAAAAAR!

Twin choke carb! http://hovercraft.org.uk/images/icons/smiley_icons/icon_biggrin.gif



60kgs, that's quite a lump! And I've never been entirely sure that Kohler horses are the full 18 hands.



The 35bhp B&S is such a superb engine, it'd take quite a bit to drag me away from using them.....

60kg for 40hp - long live the 2 stroke I say.
