I don't mess with those kits anymore. What I always run into is worn out shafts. I just ordered a whole carb off of ebay for $13.54, free shipping. Chinese made but so much easier and they work great. Still a thumbs up for your effort.

oh yeah I did the same thing but idle was never smooth and I finally tore them both down and compared them and for the most part they are identical except the main jet (emulsion tube) had less holes on the new one and they were smaller so what happens is you have less air being mixed with the fuel. You can't buy just that part so I went to the college machine tool instructor and for $25 they made me some I only needed two but got 7 for that price. Defiantly made a difference at idle.

It didn't work great on mine it worked shitty the choke would only close part way all the cable hook ups needed re-drilled out on the carburetor the cable hook ups were on the wrong side i couldn't use it

Thank you Ron.

Thanks, you just walked me through rebuilding my carburetor

Is this the same carburetor on my cub cadet 16 horse Kohler motor?

How can you increase the jet size on these carbs?

I was going to get some chem dip but when I was at farm and fleet they didnt have it.

Forgot to mention, put locktite on new bushing and gently press it in with a socket in a vise or use a c clamp. Make sure it seats in all the way and square to prevent shaft bind. Put shaft in, to make sure it freely turns then take it back out over night so you don't accidentally lock it in place.

If its in bad condition, replace it. If not, its fine. Mine had a very thick hard gasket on it so I was able to re use it. Just make sure the engine and carb surfaces are clean before reinstalling!

I wish we still had farm and fleet stores but they all went away now closest we have is TSC

Thanks for making the cool video i've got to do this to mine now, oh and isnt that front tire going flat some sort of john deere thing ? lol mine does the same thing leaks down in two days i guess they are prone to pin holeitis lol, thanks man !!!

What's the part number

my main jet stripped out and i cant remove it should i keep trying to remove it or stop there and give it a good cleaning and continue to do a card rebuild

Soak it in chem dip and blow it out really well with the main fuel mixture adjustment screw removed. I've had several that were stuck/stripped and they ran fine without being removed.

what size is that nut driver socket you used on the screw driver to put in the seat screw holding the float valve? roughly @ 2:24 in the video

Thanks for the video. I am about to try to do this myself. Do you need to replace the gasket between the carb and the engine after removing the carb?

Yee

the inside channel the carb fits onto is quite pitted/dirty. Should this area be sanded down at all or cleaner used? I'm a bit leary of getting dirt/debris into the inner part of the engine by using anything sanding wise.....thoughts?

Completely normal for it to look that way.

I have the same carb on a Kohler 12 HP engine, could you tell me how to remove the carb from the engine block? I loosened both of the bolts that attach it the the block, but it still wont budge. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Give it a tap with a rubber mallet. The gasket is just stuck.

Good video, but sadly I was more intrigued by the glimpse of your homemade window bars (10:55). Do you have anymore videos or pics of them and how you made them?

Bent pieces of rebar.

That stuff isn't strong enough to eat through the tar in mine I've tried alot of shit on mine nothing wants to dissolve the tar that's in any turns or elbows of the old carburetor I believe my 110 would stay running with a new carburetor one i bought last year for it didn't work good so took it off and put the original carburetor back on mines not getting no gas in the carburetor it does run for a few seconds after i blow gas into the carburetor I'm done with that old carburetor and the metal gas tank needs a new nipple at the bottom of it

Thank you for making this. It helped quite bit. What I find sad is I can buy a brand-new carb on eBay for $16. People aren't going to try to rebuild what they have.

Not a carter carb. It is a chinaclone and most need modification to connect your cables. I also notice there is no quality control. Some are good others are not. You get what you pay for. isavetractors.com has quality ones.

@@Mike-su8si You have to remove the main jet and clean it. Hard to do if you are not familiar with them. They are brass and strip easily. The screwdriver you use must be as wide as the whole. I grind down a cheap one to fit.

Not hating on your video, but you didn't address the most important issue with these carbs. You really should replace the brass throttle shaft bushing while you have it out. This will make the rebuild a little more tricky but it is MORE IMPORTANT than people think. Get the bushing, new screws, and new throttle shaft. The screws like to break so just grind off the heads with a dremel tool and cut shaft. Put in new shaft, use new screws, with locktite in old throttle plate. Then rebuild rest of carb! That area is a wear point that can leak a lot of dirty air around shaft causing a lean fuel condition, hotter running engine, burnt valves, and #1 cause of warped heads! Don't think yours (reader) needs this done? Put your mouth over top of carb. and blow, you might be surprised.
