Kohler PA-ECH980-3002 Command PRO EFI 35 HP Horizontal Engine
Kohler PA-ECH980-3002 is a Command PRO EFI horizontal shaft gasoline engine used in commercial and industrial equipment applications where a heavy-duty V-Twin replacement engine is required. This engine is supplied with a 1.437 inch x 4.46 inch crankshaft and does not include a factory-installed key switch or control panel.
Important Control Panel Compatibility Correction
Please note: Kohler part number 62 376 02-S should not be recommended as the control panel kit for this PA-ECH980-3002 engine unless Kohler directly confirms fitment for your exact specification number.
Kohler factory accessory literature separates the CH and ECH engine families:
| Kohler Part Number |
Description |
Factory Listed Engine Fitment |
| 62 376 02-S |
Engine-mounted control panel kit |
CH940, CH980, CH1000 |
| 62 378 01-S |
Panel assembly / key switch kit |
ECH940, ECH980 |
Because this listing is for a PA-ECH980-3002, the more appropriate control panel reference is typically 62 378 01-S, not 62 376 02-S. Always verify by full Kohler model, spec number, crankshaft, wiring harness, and equipment application before ordering controls or installation accessories.
