Carb Throttle Shaft Bushing

Recommended Posts

WHX??

Developed a little gas leak on a K301 carb this weekend so decided it was due for a long overdue cleaning. While I was at it had a carb off a 241 that I might as well go through for a ready spare on the shelf. Question here is the best way to bush the throttle shaft. These both had the removable linkage  so hopefully no need to take the throttle plate off.   Carb on the left has brass/bronze washers around the shaft so does this mean a PO had put them there?  The one on the left has that recessed area where they might fit in? Is the small stepped area on the one on the right a bushing that must come out? I know Dan @Achto has recently done this on his Raider 12 resto so hopefully he'll chime in to elaborate.

To my knowledge there wasn't a bushing installed on the carbs from the factory. I believe that the one on the left has had the repair done to it already. My carb had the same step in the shaft, just like the one on the right in your pic. I picked up the bushings for mine at Kitz & Phiel. 7/16" o.d. x 1/4" i.d. x 1/16" thick. 1/8" is the advertised correct thickness, so I just stacked two together. :think: Looking back, I may not have had to stack them. It looks like the upper stepped part of the shaft does not touch the bushing any way.

That's the numbers I was looking for ,.... and that helped the shaft wobble/air leakage problem? Not that this 301 idled rough anyway but while I got it apart kinda thing. I was under the impression that to re-bush the shaft meant removing everything, reaming and installing. This carb doesn't owe anybody anything so I would go knockoff carb before that if originality is not an issue.

It took care of the wobble for sure. I didn't really have any issues with how the engine ran before I installed the bushing. If you look for those bushings at the hardware store, I found them in the bins marked thrust washers.

So you ain't got photographic memory on that  P/N Apples or just CRS on Red's numbers!?!?  Help me out her Jay unless you want to see me wandering aimlessly down the aisles @ Ace 'till some youngster says  can I help you sir? Ahhh well can you tell me were the trust washers are? Oh yeah...that's gonna get me a look. I'll end up getting locked in the store at closing time and have to have a supper of free popcorn! :lol:

It's  a Hillman part #58087 bushing. Half the thickness of the Kohler bushing so just double stack them.

Update here ......got to Ace today and thank you again @oldredrider PN match & walked right to it but was NOT in the trust bin Dan! :ychain:

Anyhoo got it installed (only used one) and tightened it up things nice. Bolted it back up and fired right off and ran nice.........for about a minute! Fiddled with adjustment screws to no avail...disconnected pump to carb line and turned over...no fuel from pump. WTH fuel pump go out??? Noooo let's try opening the petcock......yeah that will help! :ranting:  Ran good after that. 

BTW we need to have a word about that carb kit I gave you @Achto......let's just say they were  cheap... will update this thread to warn others.

Would this have anything to do with the needle & seat fitment?

No that was good.... the needle seat is 10 mm (go figure)versus 3/8 as original and you need a thin wall socket to set it so be carefull should you decide to use it. Those little trunnions that hold the float pin break very easily. No fiber washer in the kit for under bowl nut, float pin way too long. An o-ring in the kit that I have yet to figure out where it goes. Let's just say we got what we paid for. The OEM  Kohler kits are a better bang for the buck but if you are looking for just the bowl seals and baffle gasket not the worst.

The needle & seat seemed a little long to me. I didn't think that the float had the range of motion that it should so I didn't use them. Other than the mystery o-ring, the gaskets fit good.

I did use the seat & float needle but yes quite a bit of bending on the float tab but managed to get it set correctly. I'll get a pic of side by side comparison.  These were flea bay kits, 10 for about 27 bucks. In the future I will just use the gaskets for bowl cleanings which is ok I guess  Use genuine Kohler for rebuilds.

I bought some of those, sent them right back. Now I'm waiting for my ship to come in with my new ones. we'll see how they look. A lathe makes quick work of the socket fitment issue, maybe you could get @Achto to fix you up

Agreed Tom, But right now I  would rather  rather see Dan focus on his plow tractor now rather than wasting his skills on my stupidness and cheapness  on ordering... on getting my parts machined for a sickel... different story! :ychain:

      Hi I am trying to resurrect my fathers 1966 wheel horse lawn ranger.  I have gas leaking from the carburetor and I need a replacement.  I can not seem to find any accurate resources for the correct one needed. 
       
      Here are the specs for the tractor.  I am also in need of a seat for it if you know which work for this model.  
       
      Thanks in advance!

      Hi,
       
      my throttle return spring is basically useless.
       
      3 questions; 
       
      - if I remove the throttle butterfly screw that holds the shaft in there, do I need to use loctite or similar when putting it back ? 
      - I cannot find any reference online or anywhere to the model of carb I have; 676794 or 676704 (attached pic), are those springs normally standard (any link to a replacement would be great)
       
      the rest of the carburetor is not in that good of a shape, I see all bunch of cheap carb around on ebay but again, none that match my part number.  Other than the throttle/choke/fuel line, can I safely replace mine with another model assuming it's built for the same engine size (10hp).
       
      my current block is a sbh-225 (hh100) installed on a raider 10 (69-70) 
       
      thanks

      Hello, my new to me C-160 seems to surge a little when idling at half and full throttle. It also bogs if I go from low idle to full throttle quickly. I moved the governor back and forth with my hand then started it and right after it would go from low to high normally, then later it had trouble again. The surging also seemed to be less when I messed with the governor and the spring but doesn't go away. I plan to clean and maybe rebuild the carburetor and adjust everything. I've never done this on a tractor before. What rebuild kit do I need for the carburetor and is there anything else I should consider doing or get. I have a K series pdf manual that explains the maintenance so I'd like to go through and do everything. I just don't want to mess anything up because it seems to be in decent running condition aside from maybe cleaning up and making adjustments. I've changed the oil and transmission fluid and am moving on to the fuel system. Any help and suggestions are much appreciated.

      Hello, I have a D 200. It has been running great, I was having a hard time starting it and I replace the filter and fuel pump. Adjusted the carb, and now under heavy load she will bog down and stall. If you are just driving seams fine, but if you tow a trailer with the mower, I boggs and stalls? Carb Issue or Fuel Pump?
       
      Thoughts?
       Thank you
