No not that I know of. Most guys build a crank trigger ingnition and advance their timing throught the pick-up.

Then you should have him sign up and ask the questions...

Otherwise you just end up a middle man with no answers..

If its the same as a 14 horse kohler command, you can use keys to advance the timing. they're the same as the Briggs keys.

If you are using a K series Kohler, then after you have degreed the flywheel, found TDC and made your timing marks you can just adjust the timing by slightly moving the points on the bracket. There is an adjustment screw for that on the bracket. If the tractor drives off the flywheel then the last thing you want to do is use an offset key to adjust your timing. The key will fail sooner. With the command motors the aftermarket steel flywheels have an adjustment for the magnet location to bring your timing to where you want it.
