Carb kit and Bowl needed

[Skwerl58 763]

I started trying to get the GT14 running today and made some progress. It does turn over well and has fire. The gas tank had some funk in it and it cleaned up good. The carb was full of sandy, slimy looking residue so I cleaned it and saved the bowl until last. After cleaning the bowl it has a hole corroded in it. I need a bowl and since I am into it I want a good carb kit with a float. I checked the vendors here for the kit but did not find the bowl here. Also read that a B&S bowl 221995 is the same, can someone verify this?  Thanks!

I've never seen a carb rebuild kit come with a bowl. Occasionally with a float, yes.

Just a warning...the complete 3rd party carbs do NOT always have the same dimensions for their components as the OEMs--parts may not interchange.  I've run across two already--one had metric threads on the needle valves and the other had a metric sized nut for the main jet. So, a bowl or float from one of them might not fit as a replacement on your OEM carb.

All the KITS I've gotten have worked as they should.

Did not find a complete kit either. Below should be every thing that you are looking for. All OEM parts except the brass float.

I've used this on Kohler carbs on 12 and 16 engines. 

 

If the float is brass it's likely not in need of replacement unless obviously corroded or damaged. 

 

A to Z Tractor in PA might have a kit.

Thanks for the replies. The B&S bowl will save enough to cover the  carb kit.

Hope you replaced fuel lines and filter too...

I have new filter and new fuel line ready to install

I only use the Briggs 221995 bowl when I rebuild Kohler carbs.  The bowl is identical, just made of anodized steel instead of aluminum.  Way cheaper and more corrosion resistant.

These don't have the bowl drain, though, right?

No drain, Don.

The Briggs bowl appears identical in size and shape to the Kohler bowl.

[Bill D 2,247]

I believe Carter made both Kohler carbs and Briggs carbs, hence the bowls being identical.

@Skwerl58   perfect opportunity , install this in your fuel pump to carb fuel hose , make it up before installation. arrow up , vertical placement , holds fuel in place for quick starts , this works , have it on my 3  magnum engines ,https://www.amazon.com/EVIL-ENERGY-Return-Petrol-Aluminium/dp/B07ZB42CGT, I use the spring clamps , install the last 2  on the line , away from fitting , install line / valve , then slide the clamps in place , makes it easy . lots of hours on this , instant starts , if your fuel pump is good , this is the fix . pete
