Caburetor problem?

[David Autry]

I used part of that kit, I know the bowl gasket, splash gasket and intake gasket all fit. I didn"t use the needle or seat an the air filter gasket didn"t fit. Mine does say carter model N on the outside an has the #26 inside the carb.

It is a Walbro,haven't found a number yet,after work. I don't see a # anywhere.

Your motor must be black, they put waldos on them, then you will need a Walbro carb kit Should be a WHG then a number on it.

It is in fact black

Probably got a mickey mouse piece of baling wire and a cheap plastic clip "securing" it to the governor arm then as well, same as my 147 was

There was,I broke it off and it now has a piece of tape holding it till I figure out what to do about it!

Yeah I called it a sailor clip cause I came in the house swearing like a sailor once I snapped it off!

The carb kit for that walbro carb is like $50, and the seat is not replaceable if I remember right. Carb is trash. I'd get a used Carter/Kohler #26 carb and rebuilt that.

I can't find a# on that carb anywhere...unless it needs to come off to see it?

The number and model is on the mounting flange, you know the thingy that mounts to the motor.

Of course that# had to be on the bottom side #WGH 012010

 

[RAllison]

Another question. I found another carb in a box given to me when I got the147,no # 26 stamped anywhere but has a # on the side of it #C-275369, does that ring a bell with anyone? Does the C maybe designate it a Carter?

 

[mgonitzke]

#26 (might be a #30 if it did come off a K321) will be raised letters inside the venturi.

I took another look and there is in fact a# 30 in there! Probably not gonna help me on the K301 though huh?

 

[jkoenig]

Good find even if you put it on the shelf.

I would buy the kit K1-WHG and fix it, I have used them before with no issues, sometimes...
