What if I'm always hungry? Wouldn't that make hungry me the normal me? Lol
Does an idling fine K series kohler that starts to run poorly under load , and spark at the points jumping and hitting the shrouding/nearby metal sound like a condenser and possibly a gap setting on the points problem to you?

I found the k series battery ignition all share a condenser and I have a oem kohler on my skidsteer I can borrow, clean up the points , gap them, and I think problem should alleviate?

I'm really not sure, but I know they aren't that finicky. Especially the points gap. I kept a little piece of sandpaper in the compartment under the seat, because every now and then, the thing would just up and quit running. I'd sand the points, start it back up and get back to cutting grass. I'm sure the gap ended up set WAY too wide, but it just kept running.
