Kohler replacement carbs
 

Hi
I need replacement carbs for K series

321 - KH 47 853 30
301 - KH 47 853 22

Which type of replacement carbs do you recommend that wont break the bank?
Do they all need adjustment or are they "plug and play" usually?

Depends. Do you want the Original Kohler (adjustable) Carburetor or the Walbro (fixed jet) ??

:bigthink:

Adjustable Kohler. Unfortunately I cant afford new old stock kohler... so I guess I am wondering, is there any difference between the china stuff? Are there any USA manufactures for these parts?

Personally, I much prefer the "American made" items over anything Chinese.

But it is your tractor, your time, and your money. Do as you see fit.

Me too, only ones I see are new old stock for upwards of 300 bucks.

I'm with Roland on the Chinese stuff, but I have purchased them a few times for different equipment including cubs and for 15-20 bucks the 3 or 4 I've used have all worked well right out of the box with minor tweaking ! My preference is to rebuild my kohler's with kohler kits but sometimes it just doesn't work out !

I have had mixed experiences. I bought 2 Chinese carbs for my tiller. It would not run correct. Broke down and bought a OEM from a small engine shop. Ran great after that. One of the Cubs, an 1872, I got from the Diesel Doctor has a Chinese carb and it runs perfect. So it is a crap shoot in my opinion.

Not familiar with the Walbro fixed yet carb.

My "off-shore" carb appears to have an adjustable jet -- are these 'exact' copies of the oem carbs?

For the OP, my carb ran great for 1½ years -- came with the tractor, but seems new. If I can fix the leak in my brass float It'll continue to be running great (see my other post)

Re-hab the one you have, that is unless it is corroded and beat up to the point of no return.

Not really a big deal to go through one of these you know.

One is missing the other is damaged. I wished I could just buy the kits but thats not my issue.

So anyone have a recommendation on which ones to get?
