That is not a rebuild in my book.

Sections 10 thru 12 in a Kohler Service Manual has the needed infomation to rebuild a motor the right way. I would ask some questions on how the motor was rebuilt.
Merk...I just spent some time reading the suggested sections in the Kohler Service Manual. I would tend to bet that there are a lot of engines claiming to be "rebuilt" that have just been disassembled, broken parts replaced and put back together. I may be an "old fart" but am pretty new to small engine repair. This site ALWAYS is a valuable learning tool for me.

RPalmer...Excuse my ignorance but what would be the difference between a "rebuild" and an "overhaul"? As mentioned earler, I am just trying to learn! Sometimes I may need a little OR but always end up AND a little smarter!
