The Kohler SV540S is a single-cylinder air-cooled four-stroke internal
combustion gasoline engine from the Courage series, manufactured by
Kohler Co. The displacement of the engine is 535 cc, (32.6 cubic inches) for
models SV540-00XX and SV540-01XX or 597 cc, (36.4 cubic inches) for models
02XX and higher.
The Kohler SV540S engine has an OHV (overhead valve) design, aluminum
head and crankcase with cast iron cylinder liner, vertical PTO-shaft,
and pressurized lubricating system. The engine is equipped with a
carburetor with a fixed main jet and an electronic ignition system.
The cylinder bore is 89.0 mm (3.50 in) for 00XX and 01X
engines or 94.0 mm (3.70 in) for models 02XX and higher. The
piston stroke is 86.0 mm (3.39 in) for all versions. The compression
ratio rating is 8.5:1. The engine produced 18.2 PS (13.4 KW; 18.0
HP) at 3,600 rpm of horsepower and 43.5 Nm (4.44 kgm; 32.1 ft-lb) of
torque.
