I picked up a nice Troy Bilt with the Kohler Courage 22HP engine. I have been told that this engine is prone to failing and does not have a good reputation. What have you guys experienced with this engine? It is a 2012

Biggest problem is that the sump bolts come loose. Take the shroud off and check all bolts holding the cover to the block.

The single cylinder was that one with most of the issues. The twin courage is a decent engine, but did have some starter problems.
