Need help with K161
This is a new to me K161S engine. The engine was not running when I got it and it had a bad oil seal on the flywheel side, which I replaced. After replacing the seal I buttoned up the engine and was going to replace the points. When I went to install the points plunger, it goes in fine, but it will not go in far enough to allow the points assembly to be installed. I watched it as it rides the cam and it goes through the open and close cycle fine, the plunger just appears to be too long. I cannot see that anything is out of whack with the cam or inside the block. This is my first 7 HP Kohler - does it require a shorter points plunger than a K241? here's a couple of pictures

Well that explains that . It had me stumped. Do you happen to know the length off hand? I have a couple of the longer ones I could cut down.

I feel your pain, but old is good considering the alternative. Darkminion solved this one for me. Now to find one of the shorter plungers!

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.
