Kohler CH640-3206 20.5HP 674cc V-Twin Engine – 1-1/8in Shaft, Electric Start

Description

During continuous 8-hour highway sawing shifts, the Kohler CH640-3206 horizontal shaft engine delivers continuous 20.5 horsepower across punishing pavement cutting contracts. Sawing through cured asphalt and steel-reinforced green slab places intense continuous load resistance on engine drive shafts, which causes overheating and thrown connecting rods on consumer powerheads. This 674cc commercial V-twin engine features high-capacity cooling fins, an oversized 1-1/8-inch output shaft, and an electric starter engineered to mobilize road sawing crews without delay.

Dual cylinder cast-iron sleeves protect internal tolerances against bore wear, keeping oil consumption low across hundreds of cutting hours. The 1-1/8-inch horizontal shaft handles large diameter diamond saw blade belts without crankshaft deflection. Full-pressure lubrication circulates filtered motor oil directly to high-load rod bearings, ensuring uninterrupted fluid barrier protection during continuous full-throttle cutting passes across highway expansion joints.
