tom coffey 42 #1 Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Carburator Reference Manual TP-2377-E.pdf Here is a pic of the carb I now have for my WH C816. The carb has NO numbers or letters on it anywhere for identification but is a 1" size and bolts up so I'm happy. Problem is, It's missing a few parts and one part I can't figure out how to get. I need a float needle, which I suppose is going to be included in a needle/seat assembly. Ok no problem there. Please click on the link to the manual to the left of my pic for the numbers I will give. I also need # 9 bowl gasket, # 11 bowl baffle gasket, and # 16 bowl retaining screw gasket. Still not a crisis. BUT- I have no jet, or nothing for # 3 , the high speed adjusting needle, to seat into. There is not one shown in the parts diagram. The carb I have might be an aftermarket/reproduction hence the lack of markings (which I am fine with) if I can get the parts to complete it. If it is aftermarket or repop will the parts still fit and what can I do for the jet? HELP! Thanks. Edited January 6, 2019 by tom coffey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimH 105 #2 Posted January 6, 2019 Looks like a replacement carb from I Save Tractors. They have parts in stock. for theirs and OEM carbs. If I remember right This is a replacement for a Carter Carb.( OEM Kohler ) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 66,302 #3 Posted January 6, 2019 Let me begin by saying that Trina and I are huge advocates of the saying Use What You Have I have a great appreciation for wanting to make that carb work for you. But... It would Definitely be much easier and Very Likely be less expensive to order a complete replacement off fleabay (under $20) than go to the trouble of finding and assembling the one you have. This is being said by the guy who will spend way too much time wire brushing and old bolt instead of just putting in a new one. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

formariz 11,968 #6 Posted January 6, 2019 You have there an aftermarket carburetor. Finding correct replacement parts may be a exercise in futility. I am not sure that Kohler or Carter parts will fit,. Probably it is not tried often since those replacement carburetors are usually less expensive than buying separate parts to complete one. Keep in mind also that not all high speed needles that fit into a specific or different bodies areall the same. It is a very sensitive part that is designed by having different holes in it of different sizes and different locations depending on the engine size it is used in.Trust me, it makes a big difference. To be successful and economical in purchasing parts for a carburetor one needs to know exactly what one has in hand such as a clearly branded and marked body. That does not happen with the aftermarket units. I suggest buying a whole new one to avoid frustration and expense. Then perhaps in the future you will have spare parts for it from the old ones. Refer to the information below on the high speed needle and I suggest you spend time in The Brian Millers site.

tom coffey 42 #7 Posted January 6, 2019 I was looking to find the missing parts for this carb because it's the only carb I have. Maybe I will just find a used original to rebuild after all. I'm going to a (mostly) vintage car parts swap meet this weekend but anything and is apt to show up. I will see. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What engine is on tractor now? With that we can tell you which carburetor goes with it. You could just get a new aftermarket for about $20.00 +/- and get tractor going quick. Whatever you decide you need to get the correct one for that engine. Most of them will bolt right on but they may not be the correct ones. Tolerances are very different.
