OVERVIEW

Genuine Miller 267186 Replacement Engine – Kohler Gas with Electric Start

Maintain the integrity and performance of your industrial welding equipment with the Miller 267186 Replacement Engine. This complete engine assembly is a genuine OEM part sourced directly from Miller Electric, designed to replace the power plant in specific engine-driven welder/generators. By choosing the exact SKU specified by the manufacturer, you ensure that mounting bolt patterns, drive shaft dimensions, and electrical harness connections align perfectly with your machine's chassis and control systems.

The heart of this assembly is a robust Kohler gasoline engine. Kohler is renowned in the industrial sector for manufacturing engines that withstand the rigors of job site environments. This air-cooled unit is engineered to provide the consistent RPM and torque required to drive the welder's generator, ensuring stable arc characteristics and reliable auxiliary power output. The engine features an electric start mechanism, eliminating the physical strain of recoil starting and providing immediate ignition, which is particularly beneficial in colder climates or during frequent start-stop cycles typical of fabrication work.

Using non-OEM or generic engines can often lead to compatibility headaches, requiring modifications to the welder frame or exhaust system. The Miller 267186 is a drop-in solution that minimizes downtime. It comes pre-configured to interface with Miller's fuel systems and exhaust routing (though verification of specific gaskets or additional hardware in the parts manual is always recommended). Whether you are refurbishing an older Bobcat or Trailblazer unit, or replacing a failed engine on a critical piece of fleet equipment, this Kohler gas engine restores factory-level performance.

At Josef Gas, we understand that the reliability of your power source directly impacts weld quality. This replacement engine is built to handle the fluctuating loads of welding processes, from Stick to MIG/TIG applications, without bogging down. Ensure your maintenance team has the right components to keep your operations running smoothly with this authentic Miller replacement part.

FAQ

This engine is designed for specific Miller engine-driven welders, often found in the Bobcat or Trailblazer series. Please consult your welder's parts manual or contact us with your machine's serial number to confirm compatibility before ordering.

No, engines are shipped dry for safety and shipping regulations. You must fill the crankcase with the recommended oil (usually 10W-30 or SAE 30, check manual) and fresh gasoline before attempting to start it.

Typically, replacement engines do not include the muffler assembly unless specified, as the muffler is often mounted to the welder frame rather than the engine block. You may need to reuse your existing muffler or order a new one separately.

The engine comes with a wiring harness or terminal points designed to mate with your Miller welder's internal wiring. Refer to the installation diagram provided with the engine or your welder's service manual.

As a genuine Miller part, it is covered by Miller's parts warranty. Additionally, the Kohler engine itself may carry a manufacturer's warranty. Contact our support team for specific warranty terms.

It is not recommended. This engine is configured specifically to replace the original Kohler unit. Switching brands (e.g., from Onan or Subaru to Kohler) often requires significant modification to mounts and exhaust, which this part is not designed for.

Most Kohler engines in this class include a mechanical or vacuum-pulse fuel pump mounted on the engine. However, verify against your specific machine's requirements as some welders use external electric pumps.

Yes, like all new engines, it is recommended to vary the load for the first few hours of operation and perform an initial oil change after the first 5-10 hours to ensure long-term reliability.
