Strange occurance with my Kohler engine

It doesn't have a stack per-se... it's just an opening on the end, and it's horizontal. A rubber or wooden plug will work well... until I forget to remove it or loose it after I do! ;D

Well the kids managed to fill my up sweep pipes on a 53 Harley with water from the hose .It never ran agan.

Hey Al,
When my boys were small they filled all my small engine tanks they could reach with the hose
And a pick up Ihad parked near enough
Youngest son got channel locks for the caps they couldn't get loose by hand
He was proud of the work they accomplished
Had a radiator on a ford pickup had to add water to until I got around to fixing
Guess that's what gave them the idea

:D Oh kids will be kids .It kind of annoys a person at times but thinking back 50 plus years I doubt I was much different ,fact I know I was ornery and inquisitive .

Fact as I type my little almost three year old grandson I do believe I'll have rebuilding engines by the time he's 10 .By now he's figured how to take things apart and before too long he'll figure out how to put them back together again .

Way off topic, but last Christmas I gave my young grandson one of those sponge dart guns. Told him to be careful. First thing he did was shoot his sister with it. Lots of squalling; told him he couldn't shoot it at people.
Next thing he did was shoot it off into the corner of a dark room. I made him go get the dart. He didn't like that 'cuz it was scary in there. I went with him and made him go find it anyway.
The very next thing he did was turn the Dang thing around and shoot himself between the eyes! All the women started raising Cain and were ready to lynch me, but I asked him if he'd do that again. His answer was "No."
Like Al said, kids will be kids. He didn't get hurt, and he learned 'cuz he scared himself. He won't forget that lesson, and he won't do that again.

Just had the same thing happen to me on my Koehler 25.
It is under a shed but open on the sides
