warped head and or warped block,,,usually getting a new head or having it surface ground will cure the problem..you can surface it yourself useing a large peice of 80 grit paper on a flat surface,,once you start sanding,,you can see the high and low spots..also,,set the points with a timing light as per manual,the reason is,,its the only way to get it perfect,,,if the points rod is worn and you set them at .020,,you may be way off,,causing engine to run hot...also go backand retorque the head after 5-10 hours..... if the block is warped or has a bad spot from the gasket leaking,,it may be surfaced also(if not to deep)..ive cut blocks to the point thatthe piston is sticking out and i simply turn the piston top down in a lathe to its proper position,flush or slightly below the deck...having all the proper sheet metal an the engine is also essential for the heat to be carried away by the air flow..look at another engine or the manual to see the sheetmetal.also be sure fins are clean,,,i havent seen it on a kohler but a clogged muffler or a burned out muffler will make an engine run hot also..use the kohler gasket with the fire ring on it..some aftermarket gaskets dont have it..good luck and let us know what youfind...don
