    Vintage Kohler engine

    Hello all. Does anyone know anything about 1960’s vintage Kohler engines. I believe it’s a K-90. Four stroke with a carter carb and a funny looking encapsulated centrifugal clutch.

    Hello all. I’m a new member today. I was into mini bikes and go karts in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Today I picked up a 1968 Rupp TT-500. It’s in fair condition, but is missing the lighting. It was originally blue, but is green now. Just figured I’d say hello.
