Kohler engines is no more.

Had a 10 year old china ATV in for no spark. Every engine part available for it cheap. CDI module was $10. Needed a set of rear plastic wheels for a husqvarna push mower. $40 each and took a month to get them. Got 2 customers who need cams in B&S engines and cams overpriced and backordered. Got 2 customers that need height adjusters on husqvarna push mowers. NLA.

Yes cams are getting ridiculous. Two years ago they were $56, back in May they $77, and they are now $99 from RBI. But forget the Chinese knock offs as the ones I tried had multiple problem along failing within a month.

RelKoh...its like Kohler but backwards..... and dumb.
I hope Kawasaki can stick it out with any major dumb changes like this.

Not quite backwards. but backwards would be close to relic. So Rehlko not too far off.

Yep..
When i think Relkoh...i think of a No name chinese engine you buy off Amazon for $99.... Not the Kohler that made the Command.

Name recognition is a very important marketing tool.

Kohler Relkoh has a engine plant in China and have had for years. Looks like mostly the horizontal engines.

The SH series engines have been made in China from the inception. Supposedly in collaboration with Subaru.

It must have been the board of directors for Kohler that wanted to rebrand and change the long standing name. Keep an eye on the quality and parts availability and how warranty is handled on the new Rehlko name. Hopefully no major problems occur.
