Default 1872 carb

I have an 1872 with a walbro carb and want to replace it with a kohler carb. Will a kohler carb from a kt17 work on the m18?

Thanks,
Earl

It's the best thing I ever did to mine. It has run like a top since I replaced the carb. Of course it took a while to get through the problems caused by the Walbro/fuel pump filling my crankcase with fuel and blowing out the seals.

Default 1872 carb

I just read through your thread. You had some problems with that carb. I'm glad I read it before I had to go through all of that. I just picked up a 1872 last fall and it idled rough and ran rough. I thought I would just adjust the carb and smoothen it out. Well, obviously I couldn't. Once the weather breaks I'll pull it out and change out the carb. Can't wait. This is my first super and it is like driving a cadillac compared to the single cylinder kohlers that bolt right to the frame. Well, thanks for the info. I think you saved me a lot of headaches.

Earl

I agree, they work very nicely. Is your walbro an adjustable model?

No, it doesn't have any adjustments on it. I am going to go with the kohler (carter) carb. I've always had good luck with adjusting them.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
