Default Help with freshening the carb on my 147
I picked up a Kohler carb kit for my K321 on my 147 at the local Cub Cadet dealer. The motor needed to have the choke pulled ever so slightly to run smooth, so I figured the carb needed to be gone through.

So I glanced at the kit, then pull the carb off and start taking it apart.

My lack of attention has got me into a jam. I thought the brass thing in the kit was a main jet... So I was trying to remove the old jet from the carb using a flat blade screwdriver. Well, that didn't work, the screwdriver tip ended up slipping out of the slot and gouged the brass...

Upon closer inspection, I saw that the kit contained a new seat, not a new main jet! Arrgh!

Are these jets non-removable? I'm hoping I didn't just ruin this carb. I am tempted to try putting it back together with this jet but I don't know if it'll run right now.

I saw this carb has a "30" stamped into the bore, I'm guessing it's for 30mm bore.

Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks!

your best bet is to soak the carb for s few hours to overnight in carb cleaner (bought at local parts store) before attempting to remove. you then need a screw driver that fits near perfect and preferably good quality . hold carb firmly and apply the most downward pressure you can and turn . they usually come loose . if you screwed up the end on yours it should be fine as long as the hole is clear

EDIT :

Here's another video from this morning, LOL.

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.
