I have just had more luck with briggs motors than kohlers....I plain on running the motor until it dies but its always nice to have a back up especially when you have 3 briggs motors sitting on the floor looking for homes..my crown jewel is the custom 20hp briggs in my pulling tractor but it stays there

Tater,
I hope you are sucessful fixing the M18. But, if you want to let that 1862 go, I may be interested. I'd like to find a 1862 or 1864 to fix up for my son.
Thanks,
Ike
