Jeremiah elliott 29 #1 Posted December 15, 2023 So I put new fuel line on the wheel horse today, cleaned the carb and put back together. In the process the port the fuel line hooks to just came out. I don’t know much about carbs but is that suppose to happen?? Thinking about just buying a new carb all together as long as I can find the right one. Gas cap and shifter boot came today. The c10 gas cap looks amazing and fits perfect!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,815 #4 Posted December 15, 2023 I would suggest a new carb. For what little it was I wasn't even gonna mess with cleaning the old one. Fit & works great. Techy H60 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D_Mac 8,607 #5 Posted December 16, 2023 If we keep talking Techie engines @squonk will show up. He has a fondness for them. I agree you can buy a new carb for what they want for rebuild kit. I have had better luck with cheap carbs on tecumseh engines then I do with Kohlers. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the 310-8 I just did I bought 2 cheap ones before having to purchase one from Isavetractors. For the extra money they put their name on the bowl ! In all seriousness, since installing their carb the tractor runs perfectly. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,565 #8 Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) In my experience the Chinees build a much better carb than Tecumseh did. Briggs & Stratton never could make a decent carburetor, their worst attempt being the Flow Junk updraft. Best thing they did on their newer engines was to buy a carb from Mikuni or maybe it was Keihin. I have never had a Carter carb on a Kohler that could not be rebuilt and used so I have never bought an import carb for a Kohler. I have one Kohler with a Walbro carb that has survived a rebuild and is back in service as well. Edited December 16, 2023 by Achto 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
