The Kohler LH760 is a 747 cc, (45.6 cu·in) V-twin liquid-cooled four-stroke internal combustion gasoline engine from the Aegis series, manufactured by Kohler Co.
The Kohler LH760 engine has an OHV (overhead valve) design, horizontal PTO-shaft, pressurized lubrication system with oil pump. This engine is equipped with an electronic fuel injection (EFI) system and an electronic ignition system.
It has an 83.0 mm (3.30 in) cylinder bore and 69.0 mm (2.70 in) piston stroke. The compression ratio rating is 8.7:1. This engine produced 29.4 PS (21.6 KW; 29.0 HP) at 3,600 rpm of horsepower and 61.7 Nm (6.3 kg·m; 45.5 ft·lb) at 2,600 rpm of peak torque.
The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:
- L – Liquid-cooled
- H – Horizontal PTO shaft
- 760 – Numerical designation
