Marty,
Kohler produce a good service manual for single cylinder engines. Part
number might be ENS-575. Gives all the info and numbers you might need. As
others have said the first thing to check is the crankcase breather, apart
from overfilling everything else involves surgery. There are rings
available from 5 thou up to 30.
