KT17 Series I Kohlers had oiling problems.

The series 1 17 HP KT17 had splash oiling. and the series 2 went to full pressure lubrication, with some having a spin on filter. All had the dreaded governor gear issue. but otherwise good powerplants.
No, the KT-17's were horizontal and need to be to be used in a Cub's drivetrain...

Is it not a vertical shaft kt17 on my 1720? I usually deal with 82 series cubs and they are all horizontal with either series I or series II kohlers. Series II with presurized lubrication is a way better deal imo. Just so i know, whats the deal with governor gear?
I think the 1720 had a vertical shaft Magnum 18.

The plastic governor gear or retaining pin fails. Typically it is catastrophic.
