Kohler manufactures a wide variety of small engines used in everything from lawn tractors and snow blowers to generators. The 25-horsepower V-twin engine features overhead valves and full pressure lubrication with full-flow filter. The governor measures and regulates the speed of an engine. If the engine is revving too high or too low, a sensitivity adjustment fixes this problem. This procedure takes only a few moments.
