1056 20 #1 Posted September 28, 2008 Hi All. This is my first time on RedSquare. I need help with the fuel petcock on my 1056 (it leaks). Can it be repaired or replaced with a good one? Where can I find what I will need? Thank You. 1056 :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duff 206 #2 Posted September 28, 2008 Hi, 1056, and ! I don't have the answer to your question but I'm sure some other folks here will know and will be along shortly. Glad to have you aboard! Duff :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #4 Posted September 28, 2008 :banghead:, "1056" The WH and Kohler shut-offs have been NLA for a while, but if you don't mind another brand of part, a Briggs shut-off will work. Ask your local Briggs & Stratton dealer to order a P/N 492649 valve for you, or you can actually get one online - or HERE at ebay. You always have the option of installing an elbow in the tank and using an inline shut off, but then you can't remove the tank without draining it first. B&S also offers a nice inline 1/4 turn valve under P/N 698183 - or Stens P/N 120-212. Here's one on ebay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1056 20 #5 Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks TT That is very good info. I will let you know how I make out. 1056 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #6 Posted September 28, 2008 No problem! I was just doing some of my "snooping around" and found some of the OEM Kohler valves hiding HERE, and TEW does have some chaep aftermarket replacement valves listed HERE at their site too. :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buzz 502 #7 Posted September 28, 2008 Toro still lists them. Valve and filter # 4191 around $12.00. Oh yeah, almost forgot Funny, RCPW and Partstree show them still available, better check with your local dealer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1056 20 #8 Posted September 29, 2008 The first one says it is for a K341 (16hp) I have a K241 (10hp). What do you think? My only worry is the stem size and thread size. 1056 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #10 Posted September 29, 2008 I was thinking that the Toro part was a little different now, Buzz - like the new version of the control knobs for the C series tractors. WH actually got the valves and gas tanks from Kohler, so I always try to get the pieces I can from the original manufacturer because they're normally cheaper. I forgot about the Tecumseh valve too. P/N is 29683 and is around $10.00 at the dealer. It is an identical replacement for the valve with the round straight-knurled knob - not the "T" handle.

1056 20 #11 Posted September 29, 2008 I do have a round knob on this petcock. So maybe it was replaced in the past ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1056 20 #12 Posted September 29, 2008 A closer look at the photo and I see this is my current petcock . :banana: Thank You, Thank You, TT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
