I've got most of those engines in our equipment for our crews (we've got a landscaping business). Older Kohlers with the metal shrouds were hard to beat. The newer Kiohlers have had some problems. I talked with an engineer from the factory and they test theirs with the anticipation of getting only 1500 hours out of their twins. I usually get 2200-2500 though. I've got three Kawaski 12.5hp singles on some walk behinds that have 10,000-12,000 hours and have NEVER been apart. That's impressive to me. I don't think the Kaw twins I have will last any where near that though. I think Briggs is OK and Tecumseh is on the bottom. I shorten the maintenance intervals on all ours slightly mostly to make me feel better, but it seems to work.
