Achto 27,502 #1 Posted July 8, 2020 I have a Kohler K341 that the carb is completely junk on. I also have some extra carbs from K321's, but the venturi looks considerably smaller on the K321 carbs. When looking up after market carbs most say that they will fit K321 & K341 both. My question is, will a carb from a K321 work on a K341 or will the smaller venturi on the K321 carb cause issues? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,271 #2 Posted July 8, 2020 Running around everyday. Idling. Not pulling a load. I don't think you'd ever even know you had the wrong carburetor on there... Until you got up around 3/4 throttle (??) I don't know the exact RPM but I'm going to guess around 3,000, 3200. Under load you're going to start noticing a difference. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldredrider 2,548 #4 Posted July 8, 2020 The K321 and the K341 should be using the #30 carb. They will run with #26 but with less power. Those 2 engines require more air (larger venturi) to perform the way they should. 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 3 carbs that I have are from K321's that were on Cub Cadet 1450's. Kind of curious why they all had the smaller #26 carb. Unless it was another way to relieve engine noise on their quiet line tractors? Edited July 8, 2020 by Achto 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is a possibility...I’ll have to check mine to see which carb they have. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,373 #8 Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) From my research #26 10-12hp then like above #30 14-16 HP... Now with the smaller carb you would notice a "crisper" throttle response but loose out on top end... Thing of cars small carb economy/drivability big carb not as streetable but good top end for WOT blasts....
