perfect!  I’ve used compressed air in vehicles before.  Why not a human compressor?

 

Mr wallfish has some excellent ideas.

One Sunday morning my dad discovered his pickup had an empty gas tank.  Back then I doubt there were many gas stations open on Sunday in our local small town and dad had to drive to the city to work.  My brother, who had driven the pickup on a date Saturday night, was ordered to siphon gas out of one of the tractors.  Mike was sitting behind me and some friends in church that morning and every once in a while we'd get a whiff of gasoline.  Yep, he swallow some.  He must have not swallowed much.  It's good thing it was his pre-smoking days!

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 :ROTF: now!

Wellll, yes.........and yes!

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.

Excellent reminder Bill. 

That's the one I use. Likely because of one of your previous posts.  

 

Is there a less expensive bowl gasket than using an OE Kohler?

Not that I'm aware of.  I've found complete OEM rebuild kits online at reasonable prices.  I keep a couple here at all times.
