Carb Id

Hello guys, I am hoping someone can give me some help here. I need a carb kit for my 855, it has a kohler 181 under the hood. I went to Napa and tried to order a carb kit for it and they couldn't find one listed in there book. They asked me what kind of carb it was and well I don't know. From doing some other research it looks like kohler carbs and walbro carbs are used on these K181's. Which carb do I have?

 

 

 

 

thanks guys

Carb kit is 25 757 01 sometimes it is listed with an S (25 757 01-S) when you search them on ebay, the carburetor kits were the same for the k90 up to the k341 and maybe more but I only know what I deal with the most often.  Your carburetor looks as though it probably came from a cub cadet with a kohler k series engine.  Tulsa engine warehouse (www.tewarehouse.com) sells the carburetor kit for $8.84 I have purchased many kits from them and they are genuine kohler parts, their part number is 06-1018 they have a flat rate of $8.95 for shipping so I usually wait until I have a large order.

 

If your carburetor is a Carter it will have Carter Model N cast into the side of the carburetor housing between the low speed adjustment needle and the air filter housing.

Mine doesn't Carter Model N cast in it... So i will take that carb kit number back to Napa and see if they can order it. Thanks for the help

 Look down the carb. throat behind the choke plate and see if there is a number stamped there, also a Kohler/ carter carb. should have a number stamped on the mounting flange. I am going to say it is a Walboro, has it has only one adjustment screw, unless there is one on the bottom (fuel bowl) and I can not see it in the picture. Walboro shoud have letters on the side and two numbers on the mounting flange.
