Trying to bring a 1000 back to life

[mgwin]

On a 1000:
Is the air filter housing to carb gasket still available? I looked on CCSpecialties, but could not find it. The parts lookup gave the # KH-47-041-02 superseded to #KH-45-041-07. Is this # correct?
It also has a replacement walbro carb on it, and I think the air filter housing is now too close to the engine. It is pressing against the choke cable a little.

I am mostly a narrow frame guy, and this is the first QL I have ever worked on. I am trying to get this 1000 running for a friend.
I told him I want to get it running before we start replacing other items. I hope I can, so I can order some goodies from Charlie and get it back in good shape.

The KH-47-041-02 superseded to #KH-45-041-07 is only the gasket.

You dint look to hard. ;-P

Marty,
Would one of these help?

I think they were called a heat isolator, instead of a thick carb gasket.

 

[mgwin]

Charlie,
The gasket is all I need. The air cleaner housing (base &cover) is all there.

Jim,
That looks like the carb to engine gasket. I already have that. I need the gasket that goes between the air cleaner housing and the carb.

 

[jkoenig]

Yes. Carb to engine gasket. Is that the one you have? If you have a paper gasket, this may give you the clearance you need just by being thicker. It would move the air cleaner housing farther from the engine. Isn’t that the goal?

 

[mgwin]

Jim,
The carb to engine gasket I have is the thick one.

I need part #4 in this pic. It is near the center of the pic just under the number 100. Part # KH 45-041-07

 

[dschwandt]

That gasket is just a thin paper one, sure ain't gonna move that cleaner housing out very much.
Easy enough to make with an exacto knife and a piece of gasket mat'l.
You sure the housing is not bent ?

 

[mgwin]

I don't think it is.
I am thinking the replacement walbro carb is the reason for it being so close to the engine. The 1000 did not originally have a walbro carb did it?
I thought they were carter carbs. Like I said, I know little about these newer cubs.
I don't know a whole lot about the older ones either!

 

[mgwin]

Charlie,
I found it. You had it hidden.
I feel better now.
After I get the 1000 running, I will have to take inventory on it and see what else it will need. I like spending someone else's money.

David,
It is just pressing against the choke cable lightly, not much at all. I just wish it was not touching at all. I should be able to "tweak" it enough to get it away from the cable. A new gasket from Charlie will help some too. Not that big of an issue right now. Will address it when I get it running.

Hey Marty - I believe at some point Kohler changed the backing plate for the air cleaner cover. The original ones had a metal plate about 1/16" thick or maybe slightly less, tacked onto the back of the cover. It was roughly the same shape as the gasket you're getting. It almost looks like a metal gasket. The dang things would always pop loose from the backing plate and many people would just leave them off. Charlie doesn't show a pic of the back of the backing plate but I can tell from the pic it's not part of the newer or later design. Wish I had one to show you. Maybe someone with a QL unit that still has it on the back of the backing plate, will have his off and can post a pic. I never actually realized it probably provides just enough extra clearance for the cables.

Should have a carter #26 carb on it.

Hey Marty - I screwed up a little. That dang metal plate is actually on the inside of the backing plate, not the outside. Here's a pic showing the original style. Guess it really wouldn't change the mounting location since it's on the inside.

Just having fun with you Hydro!

 

[gary noblit]

I'm wondering why you put July in that.Have I been asleep that long???

 

[kmcconaughey]

LOL, I can screw up too! Fixed it now though...

[hydroharry]

Ok Kraig, Oh Great One and Keeper of the Photos - I've said it before and I'll say it again. You're the Best.
I only ever screw up "a little". Never had a big screw up in my Life. I thought they were a couple times, but later decided they were little.

 

[kmcconaughey]

That little typo was my first screw up for the year, made it all the way into June before screwing up!

 

[gary noblit]

Everybody tells me to blame it on spellcheck.....

 

[kmcconaughey]

Had I typed that on my phone I could have, but I posted from my laptop and no auto correcting spell check.

 

[hydroharry]

I wonder what the H - - - happened to Marty. He hasn't responded at all since he ordered the gasket. He's usually johnny-on-the-spot with all kinds of reply posts.
