Sparky-(Admin) 23,156 #1 Posted August 23, 2020 One of my Magnum 12’s has a pretty messed up Walbro carb. Searching around for a replacement is turning into a pain in the butt. Isavetractors website says they are temporarily out...Ill gladly purchase a cheaply clone one off Amazon but weeding thru it all is a nightmare and when I think I’ve found one it’s not the same choke lever setup or throttle setup. Just want one that matches, plug and play so to speak. Don’t want to be fabricating linkages and whatnot. Anyone got a good lead on a place to order one?

wallfish 18,100 #2 Posted August 23, 2020 Switch to an older K series adjustable carb This one appears to have the choke lever in the right position. Just need to drill the hole a little larger for the butterfly to fit that plastic linkage retainer. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Carburetor-for-Kohler-K241-and-K301-Engines-10HP-and-12HP-Carb-Cast-Iron-I-GCA59/372984533883?hash=item56d79c537b:g:rAQAAOSw65FXtj~P Disclaimer -- Wallfish is not responsible for any misrepresentations of the ad and or you screwing up and drilling a hole through your finger 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 43,821 #3 Posted August 23, 2020 Sparks, I'm pretty sure I have the exact same carb. I'll get a pic shortly 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 43,821 #4 Posted August 23, 2020 Looks like there is a slight difference in the carb body. This carb came on a K341 that I put on my C-160. I heard the engine run with this carb but I have no idea on the condition of the bowl as far as dirt ect. I had recently rebuilt the carb on the engine I was replacing so I wanted to use that one. I do know it's a Walboro. It's just bolted on the old engine to keep me from tripping over it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
