Kawasaki 26.5 HP or Kohler 26HP EFI on John Deere Zero Turn

[sfaculak3]

Having trouble getting a 930M EFI to replace the one I lost in the fire; it is officially the 954M now, and the 930M is now the carbureted Kawasaki. Love how easy the EFI starts every time; can I trust the Kawasaki carbureted over the EFI Kohler, or should I wait possibly one to two years for the EFI. I would hire lawn service if need be. I only have 600 hours experience on the 930M so I appreciate the feedback from those of you with the heavy hours on either of these machines.

you can trust Kawasaki, you're better off not even touching a Kohler engine, they really arent that good

There is 5/8 of SFA difference between the two brands
I like working on Kohlers because they are designed to be machine assembled
Thus there are not 300 different type & style of fasteners coming in at all sorts of angles
