I want to find some parts for my Kohler... I'd like to find a set of heads, intake, and carb from a 30 horse Kohler to replace parts on my 27. Does anyone know of a good source for used parts? I guess I wouldn't be opposed to new parts if they weren't extravagantly expensive. Thanks in advance for any good ideas.

Crews, I don't have any info for you on the parts but have you thought about finding a 36 power head?

one of the best right there.


Lakota does good work, "IF" you can get your stuff back.


But Midwest is the Shizzle for Kohler.

just got off the phone with midwest supercub... it would be around $600 to get oem 30 horse heads, intake and 2 bbl. carb. That's not too bad, but I wish I could find some used parts somewhere...

Heads and the hardware (valves, springs, rockers, gaskets) will be right around the 300 mark based on my 07 invoice. If EVT has an intake I would go with the mikuni over the stock 30 carb seeing as it is a pain to get it dialed in across the powerband.

just Stage I it crews you won't be sorry. We have done two now that are really happy. We did the head work, timing, 30hp intake with a small mikuni carb on it. We also put an exhaust on it as well. He went from 19 mph by himself to 23 mph with 3 big uns in th boat. It hit 26 mph by himself. His boat is not very efficient niether. The second was a Stage II that was running over 30 mph with one and 25 mph with three. Call us sometime if you want more details.

thanks James... I'll call Grover tomorrow.


Mike, you need to tell that dude to get a new boat! If I try hard, I can hit 26 by myself with stock motor and good prop, 22 with 2 more dudes and hunting gear in a 17x48.

Yeah his boat did not ride right but when I say big uns I mean 300 pounders a piece. That is alot of weight for a 27HP to push.

so ya'll bolted a Mikuni to a stock 30hp Kohler intake? does that mean ya'll aren't offering a custom intake for Kohler yet?
Author:  drake1 [ Mon Feb 02, 2009 9:10 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: need help finding parts
the 30hp intake flows well enough so no need to build one at this time. Yes we are able to bolt up a 33mm Mikuni to the 30hp intake.

Post subject:  Re: need help finding parts
would you suggest a Mikuni, or a stock 30 Kohler carb... and why. What is the price difference?
Author:  drake1 [ Tue Feb 03, 2009 8:35 am ]
Post subject:  Re: need help finding parts
Flat spot on the bottom end with the stock carbs. Price difference was not much.

I have ran the 30hp intake w/carb and the 30hp heads and like Drake said the 30hp carb has issues. I had to feather into the throttle, wfo it was fine. I was told to open up the idle circuit because Kohlers normally run lean on the low end, but I didn't mess with it. I ended up going back to the stock carb and intake to alleviate this problem. Even though I was running the stock setup other than heads. I was able to run the 32 prop consistently at 26mph on a 1748 BT hull with a top speed of 27.1 by myself. With 2 (240 and 150) in the boat, along with a big cooler of beverages, 12gal gas and a full size battery I was running in the 23-24 range if memory serves me correctly.
