Installed an 8 degree advance key on my 196cc log splitter and with decent, not old but not fresh gasoline it ran great.
I don't have any logs that would test the engines power output.
Advance keys seem fairly universal, I use the same keys on Kohler 196cc, Honda gx390 and predator 459cc.
I also built back the Kohler engine back better with an old Briggs and Stratton intake, the Kohler intake only held on by the 2 carb studs just flapped in the wind, the BS intake uses a 3rd bolt that connects the intake to the throttle linkage plate. Much more stable and less Shakey.
I guess Kohler figures they save 13 cents by going with a 2 pont intake instead of a 3 point, cheap arse tards.
And I would bet the BS intake is more dust proof and flows better.
The Kohler intake uses a trashy a single thumb nut to hold the intake and cover on, the BS intake uses 2 thumb nuts, one to hold the filter down and one to hold the cover on, which I replaced the thumb nut on the filter with a nylon lock nut when it was on the wood chipper.
(It's a salvaged intake)
