KOHLER Courage®
Designed specifically for consumer applications, the Courage family of engines feature steel-forged crankshafts and advanced ignition systems, and provide greater displacement - across the board - for greater power. You'll also get dual ball bearings for easy starts, reduced noise, vibration, emissions and better fuel efficiency.
Professional Grade Features for the Consumer
Overhead valve for better fuel efficiency and cleaner emissions, cast iron
cylinder bore and steel forged crankshaft provide added protection under
load, extending the engine life.
Superior Startability
The large indexable recoil starter and dual ball bearings
make starting the engine nearly effortless.
Easy-to-use and Maintain
No matter the application, the dual oil fills and
drains provide the user accessibility to fill and drain the
oil from either side of the engine. Along with the large
metal fuel tank, easy access controls and no tools required
air cleaner, this engine tops the easy-to-use category.
Designed for Dependability
Low oil alert system is standard on this engine
letting you know when oil is needed, along with the
inline fuel filter to remove dirt and debris before fuel
enters the engine. These features in turn add to the
life of the engine.
