You are showing a 9 digit serial number?? In 1985 Kohler went from an 8 digit s/n to a 10 digit s/n.

Assuming that this is a Magnum engine (which I believe started about 1985) it should have a 10 digit s/n. If the first 2 digits are correct (20) your engine is a 1990.

15=1985, 16=1986...20=1990...25=1995.

I downloaded the manuals and yes it is a 1990 .

Thanks again .

Can't wait to fire it tomorrow as it looks in great shape with a lot of compression .
