hey everybody!
I purchased a used 2166 had blown kholer. had 16 hp briggs on an old cadet. are the engine mount holes the same? I used the longer drive shaft from the briggs factory install, but it seems to be a bit short. any suggestions other than slotting the engine mount holes???
thanks in advance, john
