elcamino/wheelhorse 9,362 #3 Posted October 7, 2016 @Jerry77 Thanks for the info . My 416-8 has a Kohler m16s motor. It has a Walbro carb on it now, but I don't think they are made any more. Running in to a wall. Tried Jack's small engine. Partstree, Repair parts clinic . I think my card is beyond repair so I am looking for a replacement. There has to be something out there.

Jerry77 1,218 #4 Posted October 7, 2016 I just assumed that it was an Onan - even with the problem you have, I would rather have the Kohler... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 23,237 #5 Posted October 7, 2016 I have had great luck with the new carbs sold on EBay...check out EBay seller isavetractors or go to isavetractors.com. You can get a brand new carb for an M16 for $60. I have bought three of these carbs, maybe they are knockoffs, but they worked perfectly right out of the box. Mike......

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,611 #8 Posted October 7, 2016 Yes, a '88 would have the M16 Kohler. But, if it was an Onan, the intake gasket will, over time, become brittle and begin to leak causing what appears as a carb problem. If it was an Onan, then replacing the intake gasket will solve that problem. But, as mentioned, a '88 416 will have the Kohler in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wishin4a416 2,191 #13 Posted October 8, 2016 Can it be rebuilt Jim? Are kits available for the Walbros? I have rebuilt 3 Kohler carbs and rebushed the shafts with good sucess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clueless 3,258 #14 Posted October 8, 2016 Just a heads up, I bought a carb for a k181 from russos on ebay awhile back, 39.99. The fuel inlet was a weird 3/16 inverted thread, I tapped it with a 1/8 tap and it works just fine, The ones from Norman, at isavetractors cost a little more but no tapping, also if you have a question or a problem you can call and talk to HIM, big plus in my book. Search russos here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,362 #15 Posted October 9, 2016 @Wishin4a416 The Winder family is cursed when it comes to carbs. If it don't work right do not try to fix it . We waste money , time and end up buying a new one anyway. I have cleaned off the work bench , laid down a clean tee shirt , nailed it down with wood edges , had nice bright lighting , all the correct tools and ended up losing new little parts, broken little parts and come away with a migraine. Therefore if anyone wants a couple of used carbs that may need rebuilding I have them. One from a 310-8 , a 416-8 and one from a 10hp Tecky ( the electronic crapole was bad ).
