Terry_Hart 0 Posted November 18, 2007 My AC 716H started smoking pretty bad yesterday. I have been pulling the sweeper picking up leaves. I found the air filter was choked so I replaced it and ran it again today to finish the leaves. Still smoking, more when you first start it. It gets a little better after it has run for awhile. It is a Kohler K341 with unknown number of hours on it. Think it's time to think about a repower? Should I be looking for another K341 or a conversion?

RayS 79 Posted November 18, 2007 Personally I would rebuild the motor if it is with in spec. to do so. You could also repower with a Briggs cast iron single cylinder. you can also put the briggs vanguard and kohler commands in them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris727 1,851 Posted November 19, 2007 Those K341's are a pretty desirable engnie. I too would rebuild if possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
