Walboro Carb Quick Question

Recommended Posts

leeave96

I've got a Walboro carb on a Kohler K301 and have a quick question.

I'm missing the three screws that fasten the air cleaner face plate to the carb. Anyone know the thread size and length? If I can figure this out, maybe I can find some replacements at the hardware store.

I tried screws from a Carter carb, but they are to short and I'm not sure the threads would be the same.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Bill

I **Just** posted this and got the wrong answer. 

 

I just did this tonight 30 minutes ago.  It takes QTY (3) 10-32 - 3/8" long w/ lock washers.

Sorry I gave you the wrong answer earlier. I knew you longed for a trip to the hardware store today :)  My K301 (1969) has a Carter carb and the screws are the same as on my Carter equipped K181.  It does not shock me that the engines equipped with Walbro carbs use different screws.

In all seriousness, when screws are missing, I have never been able to get the correct size online.  This goes with cars, laptop computers, pinball machines, and small engines.  It is just somthing people including myself can;t remeber.  Someone told me a few weeks ago what size bolts to get for the flywheel to pull it off, and if my life depended on it, I would not remeber......
