B-80 Carb Help

Recommended Posts

SylvanLakeWH

I have a B-80 with a Walbro carb. Picked it up non-running and got her going... carb is now leaking, primarily from the bowl...

 

Trying to find a rebuild kit. Checked with K&B - no go. Anyone have a source / link?

 

I am told there were three different brands for carbs with some years ago to year switchovers...

 

Appreciate any suggestions.

I'm not sure. Educate me. Are they the same for a 75-76 8 hp Kohler?

It should bolt right up, governor linkage & all.

Be sure to get one from a comparably sized engine - there is a 2 digit bore ID cast in behind the choke plate up top - the higher the number, the larger the bore & airflow.

I'll check my stock here. I've had gaskets separate. Not sure what size.
