bmsgaffer 2,043 #1 Posted January 22, 2014 I have a C-125 with either bad fuel system or bad ignition system (or combo of the two). Lots of rust on the engine bits and the bushings for the throttle need to be replaced. Decent amount of play in the shaft. I have a C-165 with bad rings (major smoker), but good engine bits (carb, ignition etc) Seeing as it is going to be desperately cold out there and snowing this week, can I temporarily swap the entire carb and ignition system from the K341 to the K301? I will get the 301 carb inside on a bench and properly take care of it, but I need to keep my plow tractor running. Parts take time to be delivered and I would like to be warm for it. The C-165 smoked so bad I already started the tear down for restoration and thus it cannot be a plow tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #2 Posted January 22, 2014 the ign. system is all the same, the carb should work in the cold, but it is to big, fuel wise but will physically bolt on, you may have to tweak the settings to get it to run right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was able to do the swap but it was a bear to tune. I ended up using the carb from a blown 10hp that is in mildly better shape than the 12 (they use the same carb). But Kelly was correct they will swap, but its not worth the effort. Edited January 30, 2014 by bmsgaffer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
