K91 Carburetor help

[dells68 7,499]

Hi guys, I've been lurking a few weeks since my son and I bought a 1960 400 Suburban and we just bought a 1961 401 Suburban. Both have the Carter N carbs on them. I've seen a lot of info on here about rebuilding them, but I'm sort of lost as the best place to get parts. I've seen rebuild kits for K91 carbs on ebay with a wide range of prices. Will any of these K91 kits fit my carbs or are they model specific? Both engines run great with a clean carb, but I've only got one clean carb and two tractors. If I can figure out which kit will work, I'm going to go ahead an rebuild both since they seem to have had some pretty gunky gas going into them from sitting. Also, none of the kits I've seen have the gasket that seals the carb to the head. Any ideas on where to get those? Thanks and sorry for so many newbie questions!

Kits for the model "N" carbs k91 thru k341 are the same the full kit only has a fuel inlet and needle and float pin with three bowl gaskets

you should be able to get one for around $10.00

Thanks Brian, Just what I needed to know. All of the kits I've found online look to be the same, but I was afraid there was something I was missing. I've rebuilt VW carbs, but never one for a Wheel Horse. Any sources for the carb to head gasket? Thanks again!!!

I highly recomend buying a Kohler brand kit, I've had issues with the off brand kits and the Kohler kits are only a few $$ more.

Thanks Kelly, I have ordered a couple of the Kohler brand kits. I saw a few others pop up on ebay for almost half the price - not Kohler of course. I was wondering if I had overpaid, but now I feel a lot better about getting the OEM stuff! I also located a recoil starter (NOS) locally to replace the wheel that is currently on the engine. Thanks again!
