greyhound 7 #1 Posted April 11 Hello All, Have a 1971 kohler magnum 18 twin. Has a walbro WHG 60-2471 carburetor on it. Bought a new needle and gasket. I lost the throttle rod to the govenor. I can rig one up. Looking for a float bowl. It leaks at the bolt going thru the hole. Tried the grey gasket and it leaks . I tried the red one in the bag and it leaks too. Tried a little sealer on the washer and it leaks also. Looked at the bowl and tapped it with a hammer to flatten it out. Same trouble. Looked for a part number for a bowl , but came up empty handed.. Any ideas on where to look or buy one? Thank You All Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greyhound 7 #5 Posted April 15 UPDATE, Well I was able to get a new fuel bowl and gasket for my whg 60 2471. Thanks My son was over and was looking at the aluminum fuel bowl. Come to find out it had a pin hole in the bowl. Nothing I did to make it leak. Seen on other older posting and other people had the same problems. Thumbs Up.
