Kohler Command CV15S Specs
The Kohler CV15/CV15S is a 426 cc (26.0 cubic inches) single-cylinder
air-cooled four-stroke internal combustion gasoline engine from the
Command PRO series, manufactured by Kohler Co.
The Kohler CV15S engine has an OHV (overhead valve) design, an aluminum
block with cast iron cylinder liners, vertical PTO-shaft,
full-pressurized lubricating system. The engine is equipped with a
carburetor (Nikki or Keihin) with a fixed main jet and dependable
electronic magneto ignition system.
A 90.0 mm (3.60 in) cylinder bore and 67.0 mm (2.64 in) piston stroke
provide a total engine displacement of 426 cc. The compression ratio
rating is 8.5:1.
The engine produced 15.2 PS (11.2 KW; 15.0 HP) at 3,600 rpm of
horsepower and 33.2 Nm (3.4 kgm; 24.5 ft-lb) at 2,400 rpm of maximum
torque.
Engine code identification:
C - Command series,
V - Vertical PTO shaft,
15 - Horsepower,
S - Electric Start.
