71_Bronco 1,072 #1 Posted October 12, 2018 When taking apart my K321, I pulled off 3 sheet-metal pieces to tear it down. I had one over the flywheel, one covering about half of the head, and one on the starter side. I was poking around online, and it looks like I am missing the sheet-metal that goes around the carburetor. It's the piece in the bottom left corner in the pic below. Does this piece do anything? Or am I fine running without it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,039 #3 Posted October 12, 2018 Since it costs money to make and install those covers i doubt Kohler did it if they weren't needed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
