Beap52 809 #27 Posted February 26, 2023 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! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
