Kohler Command 18 hp engine issues
Thought I'd start another thread dedicated to the issue I'm having with the engine on the new 1863 I bought the other day. Engine runs fine, no smoke or miss but its puking oil out the fuel pump vent. I can start it up and it will run fine with no oil issue, in fact I started it up yesterday and let it run for nearly 20 minutes and all was fine. Got on it and started to drive it around and it almost instantly started puking oil. Breather tube is clear. So I decided to change the fuel pump so I took the one off my other 1863 that I know is good and same thing. Ran fine, in fact I drove it around the yard for probably 10 minutes or so with no issues. Decided to do a little mowing and then she started puking oil and the engine would die. Fire it up, it might run for a few seconds then try to die, work the choke and it would try to keep running but would eventually die. Did this several times and then it finally kept running without working the choke but it was still puking oil. Next step I guess is to do a compression/leak down test and see if its a head gasket or piston ring issue. What is considered normal compression for these engines? 130 ish or so? Any other ideas out there as to what could be the issue? Also as far as the engine dying, could this just be because of the oil being introduced into the fuel pump that its not getting clean fuel?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
