-------INTRODUCTION-------
Long-life strength and on-the-job durability are designed and built into
these Kohler engines.
Parts
subject
to
most wear and tear - like cylin-
ders, crankshafts and camshafts - are made from precision-formulated
cast
iron
...
and because the
cast
iron cylinders can be rebored, these
engines can last even longer.
These Kohler engines are easy
to
service. All routine service
parts
-
points, condenser, spark plugs, air cleaner, carburetor - are easily and
quickly accessible.
This manual provides the technician with information and instructions
for servicing and repairing the KT17 & KT19 Series II, and

is recommended the technician study
the
procedures
and illustrations in this manual and use them
as
references when per-
forming repairs.
