Hi All, I bought Kohler rebuild kit # 25 757 11-S. I had a couple of questions as there are extra parts than this Walbro WHG takes (two float needles and gaskets not used on this carb). It came with two intake valves (one with a spring). I used the one without spring that looked like the one I took out. However the float pin was not in the kit, just the needle. Is this what others have found? Also, there was the thick gasket to go against the block and a regular thinner one of the same size. I used them both as the diagram showed both (thick one against block and thinner one between thick one and carb). Is this correct? The manual I downloaded for the M16 shows a Kohler carb and initial setting for both fuel needles at 2 1/2 turns out. Is that the same for this Walbro? Also I cleaned everything I could without removing the Welch plugs. I am asking as it is running much worse than before I cleaned it!! Total surprise as I have rebuilt several other carbs in the past and never had that happen. I am hoping that the new float needle is stuck and/or the thin wire I used on the main jet was short and did not get everything? It was dirty and needed a good cleaning so surprised at the poor performance once cleaned. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hello, I have an 1987 416-8 with a Kohler Magnum M16. The M16 has a Walbro carb. The engine decal with specs, etc., is there but the writing is totally gone. This is the WH I have been fixing up and have it running (and mowing) pretty good. However after 30 to 45 minutes it begins to run a bit rough and sounds like it want to quite. Shutting down the mower seemed to help and I got it back to the shed before it got any worse Thinking the carb could use a cleaning..Are there rebuild kits available for the carb? Also, could other issues cause this? Thanks!
