Hello!

I may try to Frankenstein a Kohler m12 in a narrow frame cub that has a dead k241. I just have a few questions and always up for suggestions. So my understanding is the largest K series motor that will fit in a narrow frame without frame mods is a K301. The magnum 12 is basically just a new version of a K301 with electronic ignition, geared starter, plastic flywheel fan etc.

The k301 flywheel as long as I understand will fit fine with a narrow frame,
But the magnum 12 won’t? Am I correct? I plan on using the existing starter / generator from the k241

If I use a K301 or a K241 flywheel on the m12 how can I set up the ignition. K241 is points and condenser, and I think the m12 doesn’t have the provisions to put points on it, no hole for the plunger.

I have no problem making it a narrow base motor and installing a cub oil pan / shortening the oil dipper for clearance depending on the type of pan. Also adding metal to the 2 cutouts so it doesn’t leak oil.


Thanks so much!
