I have a friend that has a 18G and he has adjusted his so that the engine spins at 3600 RPM. He swears by the added RPM and power. When I had a M18 I ran it at 3600 RPM. The added RPM does help.
I have since upgraded my G series tractor and replaced the Kohler Magnum 18 with a 24hp Onan. That turned out so well that I replaced all of the Kohler engines on my 4 wheel tractors with Onan engines.
Popping thru the exhaust on shutdown in almost normal on those Kohler twin engines. To help stop that from occurring, let the tractor idle for a minute and then shut it down. It may not stop it but it should be less frequent.
