ri702bill 8,316 #2 Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Nah - but it looks like the 2 at the top had a litter of puppies !!! You do realize the long main jet needles are different between the small 8 HP carbs and the larger 10+ models?? And that all the needles are hollow with teensy-tiny air bleed holes at both ends...?? Be sure they are open.... Looks like a couple of shiny new bowls there too... Edited February 25, 2023 by ri702bill 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a wee bitty techy one, 2 Kohler 8 HP carbs, a 12 HP Kohler imported replacement from isavetractors, 4 #30s for K341, (one's not a WH carb) and also a B & S updraft I just found. I know I have at least another couple wee bitty techy ones, a Tecumseh 16 HP single cylinder carb, and another OE Kohler 12 and Kohler 16 HP single.

So, now i'm curious if this was an actual request for a carb part.......... or a clever funny joke? Either way it was perfect timing. I kinda glossed over it the first time but now! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill D 1,920 #22 Posted February 25, 2023 If you run out of good usable float bowls, Briggs and Stratton P/N 221995 works perfectly and can be had for $10 or less. It's an anodized steel bowl used on older Briggs carbs. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
