A lot of people reading/following your undertaking have learned a lot.
I hope they have taken away from this, to stick with it, and don’t give up in the face of adversity.
You’ve had some setbacks to put it mildly!
The sweet sound of an opposed double breasted Kohler, is like no other.
Enjoy !!

Thanks! It's kind of wierd, what all happened during this mower rebuild. But there were times when I really second guessed my decision to try and save the 782. Or even the Kohler. But like you said, nothing like the sound of that opposed twin when it spools up.

The nieghbor has a service come out and do his, listening to that big xmark zero turn with the vangaurd, man o man, I couldn't wait to fire up that Kohler!

But I was patient this time, went slow and double checked everything. I do appreciate all the advise, and encouragment. Hopefully this chapter is closed.

I do have one more question, I set the govenor as per the 18mag service manual, but the motor seems to want to vary the RPMs, when under full throttle.

Is this a carb adjustment issue?

I set the timing on the bench with volt / ohm meter. Made sure the points broke just as the timing marks lined up, so I am confident the timing is correct. Just wondering about the carb.
