The engine tab has been removed. Is this a Kohler K321 ? I have a 124, 127 and 129 all without the engine tabs removed. Are they all K 321s, since they all look alike.
I want to order a new head gasket, but not sure what engine I have.
thanks

Simply measure the bore and stroke, that will tell you the HP. and order the Hd. Gskt accordingly.
The spark occurs when the points just open, not close.
So adjust so the points do that, (approx .020 opening)

You also want to resurface the head.
Torque to spec, then warm to operating temp ( about 15-20 min) them retorque!!!!! or the new Gskt will be short lived.
