OVERVIEW

Genuine Miller Replacement Engine: Kohler Command PRO CH730-3338

The Miller 286616 is a complete replacement engine assembly featuring the Kohler Command PRO CH730-3338, specifically configured for Miller Electric industrial welder generators. This unit is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) component, ensuring seamless integration with compatible Miller equipment such as Bobcat and Trailblazer series machines. The CH730 is a horizontal-shaft, V-twin, air-cooled gasoline engine designed to deliver consistent power and torque required for the demanding load cycles of welding and power generation.

A standout feature of this model is the integrated E-Choke™ technology. This system automatically manages the choke function during starting, eliminating the need for manual choke adjustments and ensuring reliable ignition in various temperature conditions. This is particularly critical in industrial environments where equipment must perform immediately upon demand. The engine block features cast iron cylinder liners, which provide superior wear resistance and longevity compared to aluminum-only designs.

Maintenance and durability are core to the Command PRO series. The engine utilizes hydraulic valve lifters, which negate the need for periodic valve lash adjustments, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. A full-pressure lubrication system with a spin-on oil filter ensures critical components are continuously protected, even during continuous operation. The large-capacity air intake system is engineered to filter out heavy particulate matter common in construction and fabrication sites, preventing premature engine wear.

  • Model: Kohler CH730-3338
  • Displacement: 725cc
  • Configuration: V-Twin, 4-Cycle

FAQ

This engine is a direct replacement for specific serial number ranges of Miller Bobcat and Trailblazer welders that were originally equipped with the Kohler CH730-3338. Please verify your machine's parts manual or serial number to confirm compatibility.

No, replacement engines are typically shipped dry to prevent leakage during transport. You must fill the crankcase with the recommended grade of oil (usually 10W-30 or SAE 30) before attempting to start it.

E-Choke is a system developed by Kohler that automatically controls the engine's choke plate during startup. It eliminates the need for a manual choke lever and ensures reliable starting in both cold and hot weather conditions.

No, the CH730-3338 is a carbureted engine. However, the E-Choke system provides starting reliability similar to EFI systems without the complexity of high-pressure fuel pumps and injectors.

Typically, replacement engines from Miller do not include the muffler assembly, as the muffler is often mounted to the welder frame rather than the engine block itself. You will likely need to reuse your existing exhaust system.

The Kohler Command PRO CH730 is generally rated at approximately 23.5 HP, though ratings can vary slightly based on specific testing standards (J1940).

No, the Kohler Command PRO CH730 features hydraulic valve lifters which automatically maintain zero valve lash, eliminating the need for periodic valve adjustments.

Yes, this is the genuine Miller Electric part number 286616, which ensures it meets the exact specifications required for your Miller equipment.
