I've never heard any complaints about Kohler reliability, cost of parts, service as one hears about Onan.
It appears they are still supplying marine & RV industies plus others.

David (et al),
I see a lot of the Kohler 4cyl autostarts and they are no more reliable than a well maintained Onan. (In short, I get lots of calls for service - boats being what they are.) The part prices are just about as bad, so I would believe the same of the flat twins in motorhomes of the period.
Strange thing is that recently I have had a few jobs where the owners want the autostart defeated. After we discuss the cost timing for that about half change their mind.
