aghead 72 #1 Posted January 12, 2019 On my 10Hp Kohler, the material-like carb to bowl gasket sent in rebuild kit does not seal. I adjusted the float to lower fuel level but engine vibration must still allow sloshing. With carb off in hand, I still cannot get it to seal. Is there an improved seal setup? Is there supposed to be a round gasket also with the material like one (it has the splash 'guard' on it) Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,369 #2 Posted January 12, 2019 There should be a "square" O ring that fits into the "groove" in the base of the carb that bowl seals against plus the other gasket as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aghead 72 #3 Posted January 12, 2019 My round squared gasket is destroyed and carb kit did not include it. I assumed that gasket was eliminated and repl'd with only the cloth-like one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moe1965 718 #6 Posted January 12, 2019 Had this same issue. If I'm reading this right there is a gasket on both the inside as well as the outside one on the fuel bowl???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,146 #7 Posted January 12, 2019 The O ring goes in the groove of the carb body. The splash shield lats over that and is compressed by the fuel bowl 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,369 #8 Posted January 12, 2019 I have gotten by without the "splash" guard gasket but not without the O ring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,146 #9 Posted January 12, 2019 Incidentally Walbro fixed main jet carbs do not use the splash shield Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
