I just put a piston and rings in a Kohler 321 in a Toro Tee Mower, The motor runs and sounds great till you engage the mowers, then its spitting and sputtering and wont even pull itself ?

sounds like You need to either set your timing on your points, or the carb needs to be set a little richer.

Little metal cover below the carb. and exh. port on the block. There's a cover held on with four capscrews over the timing gear and it's right next to that cover, held on with two small machine screws, one each at top & bottom.... Should have a small wire coming out the bottom corner.

He"ll look hard and long for those points, if it turns out he has electronic ignition on his engine!

If He has electronic Ignition I doubt He even HAS points. The complete Kohler service manual is avail free on-line at Kohler.com. Takes forever to download. I've started three-four times but always stopped. I have a hardcopy at home.
