[AT] Kohler serial number list

[Larry Goss]

That's a 1969 model, Bruce.  They used a letter prefix in the serial number until the middle of 1969.  For many years the first letter or numeral indicated the model year, and the numerals after that were simply sequential.  The spec numbers have their own code, but basically Kohler was just sequential with those also.  the K321S means it's a K-series (cast iron block, splash oiling, etc) with 32 cubic inch displacement, single cylinder, and electric start.

That's done by formula, Bruce.  Kohler publishes it in the front of their
Engine service manual.  What's your serial number?  I have three editions of
that manual.
