Wheel Horse 312-8 engine id

Recommended Posts

J-Bore

My 312-8 is having fuel system issues and I'm getting ready to go through from tank to carb. The problem is the id info on the engine is rubbed off. The engine is a Kohler Magnum 12 and the tractor was bought new in Sept. 1988 and the engine is original. Should I find I need a kit or carb, how will I know the one to get? Is there an id number on the carb? Thanks for any help.

All carb kits for 7 through 16 hp Kohler engines are the same, whether Walbro or Carter carb.

Your tractor could be any of these

1987 312-8 model 21-12K804 - Using M12S-471527

1988 312-8 model 21-12K805 - Using M12S-471527

1989 312-8 model 21-12K806 - Using M12S-471527 (The new 1989 models were just coming out in late September 1988)

Bob is correct about the Carb. Kits. If you should need the engine model number in the future it should be M12S-471527. For best result be sure to use non-ethanol gas. http://www.buyrealgas.com/

Thanks guys. I think I would prefer to use a new carb. Any suggestions on where to search?

Ebay has a lot of new Kohler replacement units manufactures in the Orient. Be sure to look at the choke linkage to be sure it matches yours.
