It possible Noel I was in a hurry to see if it would run and forgot to set the points gap as I reinstalled them, its definitely popping at least I figure its worth spending some more time on itJumpins there ya go. Neat. Would the timing be a bit late Gary ?

I've been looking on Ebay for crankshafts, but haven't gotten real excited as I don't have any need for the engines, I guess they would make puller enginesI have a great running M16 here but it too has no protuding crankshaft on the PTO side.

Hey Noel I was thinking about that but got side tracked yes it could be the wiring on the test stand lost connection got to check that first, I do know that these regulators have to have about a 1 amp draw on them or they don't work so that could very well be my problemAny thing I know about Kohler K stators is they should have 28 to 32 VAC at full throttle. Do you have positive 12volt power from the battery to the B terminal on the regulator and the the negative from the battery to ground on the engine Gary.

There was only one engine with the Ariens tractors and that engine basically only need a cylinder head bought a head and its a good runner. I have a plan for this 14 hp engine that has no CS PTO have a project that will be driven off the flywheel and no need for a PTO. As for the 2 M16's no plans and if you come on by I'd sell you oneWhat are you doing with these engines?
If MN wasn't so far away, I'd be interested in one.
You still have the cranks out of those ariens machines that you parted out? They would go right in those M16s..... "Just sayin"
I have broke a lot of them lose that way before impacts. Never had one snap off like that. Sorry for the bad advice. Was that a complete new break or was it started by using an impact putting it on way back when?No concrete mixers or raspberry filled donuts and its all Rogers fault, I tried again with a 7/8" box end and used my dead blow hammer gave it a good whack and it was off the bad thing is it snapped off even with the end of the CS.
Ok on a better note I removed the oil dip stick/'filler tube then removed the starter from the red M16 I did put a wrap of duck tape on the brushes end screwed the bolts out and put it on the black M16 it really went good not near what I had imaged in my head so this afternoon will crank it over and check for spark and see if it wants to run
Hey Roger I was only razzing you, it was a complete fresh break thinking about it now it may have been left hand thread, I've never come across LH in a CS before but it could be. Its darn cold here in WC MN this AM -15*F and I'm not liking itI have broke a lot of them lose that way before impacts. Never had one snap off like that. Sorry for the bad advice.

Same here Gary I’m reluctant about using an impact on some things not knowing which way is out. I bought HF Earthquake gun a few years ago it goes up to 1200lbs. I don’t think I’ve ever used it on that setting. When the weather warms up you might could weld you a nut on the end and crank it the other way.Hey Roger I was only razzing you, it was a complete fresh break thinking about it now it may have been left hand thread, I've never come across LH in a CS before but it could be.

First off I'm not that worried about getting it removed and if I did attempt it I'd ask on the Kohler FB group if it was LH or RH thread, if a guy wanted a Hydraulic power unit this engine would work just fine as it isSame here Gary I’m reluctant about using an impact on some things not knowing which way is out.
