@@jasperjansen100are the billet flywheels available for them now ? When we first started there was 0 aftermarket for any of them we built everything ( and tried everything lol ) the Briggs mtrs always responded better but I also only messed with a few Kohlers mtrs just seemed to have a lot of stroke and smaller pistons never liked to rev fast …
Ingot same motor and all on alcohol it's a beast. I grew up racing asphalt round track cars from age 10 till 26 every class from super stocks to super lates and between and I got my first time on a outlaw pro mod mower and man was I hooked and built me one and fly on dirt doing about 70 miles an hour with 20 other people
Awesome sounding Kohler brother! Even a beautiful color paint too! What's that like a old Chrysler color? Looks similar to Plumb Cazy purple? For a NA engine with dual flat slides and a decent sized cam, she has some decent HP and torque!? Really isn't grandpa's lawnmower engine anymore LOL!
That's awesome stuff brother. Do you know if that's a hydraulic or flat tappet or even a serious mod is a roller cam in your Kohler there? I know they came factory with a chevy style hydraulic lifter, which like a Chevy is easily replaced with either a solid lift or even a roller tipped tappet these days. I'm just really curious about these dumb things? Lol! I started in small engine shops, and progressed to race engines for cars in machine shops, now an engineer and building my own small race engine now that hard parts are available for purchase. There were certain things I liked about the Kohler engines and others I didn't, and ended up settling on a Briggs Vanguard for their simplicity and relatively easy access to spare parts where I'm at. I'm running everything I can find in Billet or forged aluminum rods, pistons, flywheel, rockers ect...and whatever else I custom build or machine from steel or chrome moly alloy. The cam is a 356 billet steel Dyno-Cams. With the Briggs Vanguard there's no options but running a mechanical flat tappet stock style lifter profile, nor do they have any material to modify the blocks to adapt another form of lifter. Just curious about these Kohler engines and what you personally think of them? I see companies like Midwest Cub who makes some sickly insane Kohler engines which look to be almost all completely custom engines and heavily modified blocks all welded up. Nice to see your running the factory or just a shroud in general, see so many people out there who leave the shrouds off their cylinders which is so stupid. They think it looks cooler? When all their doing is overheating their engines by doing so. Unless they're only running a very short period on methanol or ethanol, these folks are doing damage to their expensive @ss engines by running them on race gas with no air ducting around the jugs and especially the heads! 😊❤ Sweet machine you have there and thanks for the reply on the gorgeous paint! 😉👍
Nice throttle respons.. What a Awesome Idle can it runs a bit Slower at Idle It Sounds so much Better.... What Kind of farm do you live on and how many animals on the farm Best regards J.
Something I find crazy is I got a pulling lawn mower with a built kohler v twin on it and it has a 28lbs flywheel plus all the extra from the clutch and adapters and it revs every bit as fast as this thing if not faster and it’s on alky as well
im assuming you had smaller carbs on it, this engine had to big of a carbs on it. we build a another kohler with smaller carbs and the throttle response was way better,
It’s sick I just hate that standard steering setup for racing mowers. It’s so ugly and protruding. I went with a rack and pinion and ran the steering linkage on the bottom of the frame. I know you might have rules to follow on your build tho if your actually entering a race with it
it wasnt very economical but it had so much power it didnt really matter to much. chassi couldnt handle the power, we have since build a new chassi and it handles the power much better
You gotta talk to me about this engine build. I have 3 Kohler commands one running, the other 2 were blown and can be rebored. Mwsc says that their parts aren’t meant for racing, or vertical engine builds only tractor pulling. Please respond to this comment so I can ask you more about how this performed.
hey so the pistons and rods they sell are good for racing. camshaft is a different thing tho. youll need a racing camshaft, due to the fact for pulling they use a bit different platform of camshaft. go to arc racing and get the billet flywheel there its what i run and it works well. then im running the billet rods and pistons from MWSC. i run a stock crank and if you want to get fancy like i did, have the crank balanced with the rods and pistons. i still have a camshaft and a set of well flowed oringed heads for sale im willing to sell. i have some other stuff to. my name on facebook is jasper jansen in canada if you want to private message me.
this is a kohler command engine. most of the sound is in the exhaust. i build another race mower with a kohler engine, and the engine sounds a bit different due to a different exhaust design. ill be posting a new video this week
Can you please list the parts used to help me get a little more ho for my Lincoln welder ch20s obviously I’m not wanting to run it on anything but regular fuel maybe just where you purchased them so I can pick what I’m looking for. I appreciate your time. With Respect. RR
parts can all be found at midwest super cub, this engine has billet rods and pistons, roller rockers, and billet special ground cam. stock crankshaft. flowed heads.,
Hi so i have a question so the next lawn mower i build im planning on using a kohler v twin im not gonna go crazy with the mods probably just a mikuni carburetor and billet rods but i was wondering if the stock cast iron flywheel would still hold up with the governor delete or do i have to get a billet flywheel
i do not know if they will hold. i also havent seen one fly apart yet. thing is tho if it does are you ready to eat pieces of flywheel lol. my opinion if your gunna do billet rods do a billet flywheel. the stock kohler rods can take some abuse so maybe invest in a flywheel first.
I work on little motors every day but I never really think about one revving up unless it's a little 2 stroker... I am gonna go stare at my 22hp John Deere for a while, it's not living up to it's potential.
@little farmer 101 Did you do anything to the bottom end? I have been tinkering with the idea of a rider in a go-cart-ish configuration with a JD deck that drops off easy for a couple weeks now and this added the idea of race tires to the design
@@GuysPlayingWithTools my enginehas the balanced crank, billter rods, pistons, roller cam and rockers, titanium valves and flowed heads, and billet flywheel. but a stock kohler with some minor mods and a billet flywheel will run 5 6000rpm and make for a fun engine

In one of your videos that little kid sure knows how to ride. I bet you that little kid would do pretty good on the track and only 5 years old.
she started racing when she was 4, shes pretty good at it. ill have to post video of her racing sometime.
That is absolutely sick, doesn’t sound anything like a mower anymore man..
Got one from a old mower we scrapped the engine runs im so happy i came across this i hope u have a video on u building it bc this shits the bomb
check out some of my other videos, there is two videos of my new build, the red international. still have to get some time to upload a racing video.
@@jasperjansen100 ill makesure to check them out to

Sir do you have any alcohol in your system? Yes sir a full tank of it!
Were you at Capitol City Speedway last weekend?
the mower has been sold i have build a couple new ones since, this one is still hanging around in ontario tho
That’s a death trap with mower fenders
How many parts did you have to replace to make it sound like that? Also, you a kohler guy?
everything but the crank pretty much lol.
Suena hermoso
Need that for my yard. LOL...
Holy smokes.. I think we just became friends. ❤
Where can I find aftermarket parts for my 12 horse Briggs
What kind of cam u running ?
Does the exhaust not cause power loss in front of the carbs when moving?

check out my other video it goes over my new build which is mucchhhh better then this lol its rocking a even more powerfull engine then this.
