[Bighorn2500]

4400 watt Generator
Out: 10w30 synblend HDEO from Rural King
In: 0w40 Mobil 1 Euro

Single digit temps here and the 10w30 required too many pulls but it did start to warm up the oil before it was changed.

[1 SX]

M/Y 2022 Briggs CR950 (9.5 ft tq) on a 3000 psi 2.4 gpm Craftsman power washer. Changed out the OEM break in oil (still full and pretty clear) with a Synthetic 10W30. Holds about 20 / 21 oz.

M/Y 2018? Honda GCV190 3000 psi 2.5 GPM Power washer. Change oil 1 time a year for cheap insurance sometimes twice if a hard year... . Drained out the golden synthetic then added about 15 Oz of new 10W30 synthetic.

The Kohler and ST3614 are identical. The MP3614 has only minor differences with the silicone valve and metal end caps. The Super Tech MP3614 is my pick for my Kohler ZT740. Champion Labs is producing some quality filters.

Just picked up an XG3614 and two quarts M1 EP 10W30 for my 5 hour change on the 19.5 HP Kohler …
Thought this was interesting on the base up ☺️ filter mount - oil cooler provision ?

Perhaps provisions for an oil pressure gauge and/or low oil cutoff switch?

Well, if you're running a cooler, two of those ports will be supply and return right?

Yeah - I know the Vanguard series has coolers and the older Kohler used a sandwich plate to cooler …
To be continued - mostly curious …

Keep it updated. It would be cool if you can run a cooler and an oil pressure gauge

Messing around with batteries, starter, and solenoid - once the 19 HP Briggs cranked it smoked like a Tijuana taxi …
Even though pretty fresh - decided to drain the 0W40 PP … dumped like water and smelled of gasoline

Did you check to make sure the carburetor float isn't stuck or that the needle and seat aren't worn?

It’s all fine there - had a hard time getting it to start - so the carb and choke saw too many iterations - adding insult to injury - was randomly changing all typical failure parts (b4 giving it to family) - and got a new but weak starter. Well, in the end - a new solenoid and the old starter crank and fire it instantly - no smoke and running smoothly …
$35 eBay starter = new junk …
