if you buy their over haul kits you might get a stens piston and rotary rings. not that it really matters . they just buy the cheapest parts and put them together in their kits. the last rebuild kit I purchased from them the #2 ring was .020 thicker than the groove in the piston. after arguing with the guy for 10 min or so he finally sent another set of rings and I returned the mispackaged rings.
I don't buy new carbs but I've been under the impression that the Kohler or Carter carbs are NLA unless you find an odd part number that's close and they have a supply of old stock carbs. otherwise you get a Walbro as the replacement carb, because of emissions its a fixed jet carb. but I could be wrong but that's what I've been hearing for the last 10 or so years . I think the price difference is in the Kohler markup. same carb one is aftermarket Walbro price and one is Kohler's "replacement carb " price. same thing as a coil. buy one from NAPA for $25 or so or buy one from Kohler for $80. same coil.
