Is it the LH690? Are you needing a new motor?

 

[Johnny]

LH685. Its running ok for now.

Wonder whether the Kawasaki water-cooled 31 hp in the new Peak would be a feasible replacement.

Yea. And the price for the ones left have skyrocketed. Don’t think they been making aegis for a while

Local distributor said Aegis have been problematic.

I'm not sure on the exact date the aegis was discontinued, but it wasn't recently. However we typically stock long blocks.

Hope they improved the Kaw. My Pro 1700 White no magic had that motor & major problems it had a plastic gear In the motor. That was early 1990 . Almost went out of business. .jz.

Bad electronics as well.

Gonna replace the 25 hp Aegis soon. Thinking about an air-cooled Kohler 999 cc 32.5-37 hp. Could spin the under-driven 47 Roots DSL a little faster.
