Maxwell-8 4,270 #1 Posted October 22, 2021 I had a bad carberator on my raider 10 M12. the ethanol had eaten the bowl, the treads for the bowlbolt were bad. So I found this NOS Walbro carb from a guy, but it's for K301. It works fine, but the choke lever is in the way for the airfilter unit of the M12. I found a cheap broken KOHLER K181 online, will the airfilter box fit on a K301 carb? On a K-series, the airfilter housing has an offset, On a M-series, the airfilterhousing is resest. Therfore the choke lever can not be moved, if you even can get the airfilter unit on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The plate on my K181 is smaller and only held on with 2 screws. My big block engines all use 3 screws to hold the backing plate on. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,064 #4 Posted October 23, 2021 @Maxwell-8 most of those plates are close to fitting , look for a related picture , to help you find your answer, another glairing opportunity for you is to add a ground to one of the rectifier mount bolts , run it down to the front corner of the engine to frame bolt area , use dielectric grease at each contact point , including the slide on electric plug. that was a much improved charging detail for me , clean and sand all contact points , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
