WHX?? 50,585 #2 Posted March 12 (edited) Rebuild kits on Fleabay & the Jungle and many other places... DO NOT use the cheap aftermarket kits they will not work! @ebinmaine has the correct Kohler Part number. He's also going to recommend rebuilding instead of $20 aftermarket carbs.

I had this issue once Turned out on mine that mud daubers packed the vent hole for the float bowl full. With no place for the air to disperse, the fuel pump forced the gas out through the main jet into the throat of the carb. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
