They do not have 7/16" od x 1/4" id x 1/8" thick. They do have 7/16 x 1/4 x 1/16. Buy two & double them up. Works fine, last long time.

Might put a small dab of grease between the two bushings before putting them into the carb.  The grease will act as a seal to help prevent a possible air leak that could drive you nuts trying to find.

Someday I'm gonna mail you a bushel of carbs that need it EB @ebinmaine 

I have just had so much good luck with the knock offs I see no need unless I really really have to stay orginal on a resto. 

 Yes sometimes the case but still to just get one moving. 

I know I know we have had this discussion before. The choke backwards on the knock offs for the big blocks can be an issue but for how cheap they are?? 

Last post here.

It's great that you're having good luck on the cheapos. 

Just wasn't my experience. 

 

FYI. Isavetractors does sell an import replacement carb with the choke cable the right way. 

I've seen 2 so far. They seem to work well.  For the price of them I'd still rebuild an original one but the option is there.

I've always had good luck rebuilding the Carter carbs, even keep kits in stock. Have not tried the China carbs.

Not sure yet. This is on my neighbor's tractor. Kohler engine.  Started running like crap. There is what looks like a mixture screw and an idle mix screw. If I take what looks like the mixture screw out gas comes out. I'm wondering if the float is shot

Looks like this

This is the carb

It is adkustabke  but I wonder if the float valve and little spring are the same...
