leaking carb

[zanepetty 117]

Hey again everyone. I've gotten SO much done on my tractor thanks to this site and most of all my new friend stevasaurus. What a great guy. Anyway my carb bowl is leaking around the bolt. I tried a small rubber washer but it stretched around the bolt. Should I try a bigger one?

More than likely the bowl has small hairline cracks in it around the bolt, the cracks are not really visible until you put pressure on it from tightening the bolts. You will need to just replace the bowl.

Oh OK I gotcha. So can I buy a bowl new or will I have to look on eBay?

[zanepetty 117]

I found one. Thanks for the help!

Where can I get one of those washers?

[buckrancher 2,679]

they are part of the rebuild kit your local toro dealer may have them

[zanepetty 117]

OK. I called my Kohler dealer and they said that the kits were obsolete?

Sellers on ebay have lots of carb kits to offer at rather fair prices, just check the feedback before you buy.
