Wheelin_Ypsi 0 #1 Posted September 22, 2010 Would a k181 carb work on a k161 engine. I have seen used k181 carbs for sale, but not many k161 carbs. Any suggestions woudl be greatly appreciated. Mike in Ypsi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinsRJ 723 #2 Posted September 22, 2010 In most cases yes the carbs will swap. Most K-Series Kohlers came with Carter N model carbs. Make sure you take a look at the throttle and choke set ups on the original and replacement carbs, in some cases they will be different between carbs depending on the original application. You will need to find one which has a similar set up as your original to ease the process of installation. Also inside the intake air horn will be a casted in number, you will want the same carb size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
