The 26 & 30 are the bore of the Venturi in millimeters (ie: 26 = 26mm, etc)
I have seen and read all sorts of weird combination's. I would use the correct model (or size) as specified by Kohler.

Metalrain, we are getting into venturi effect and probably a debate as bad as which oil to use. In theory the 26 mm carb should have better throttle response and work more efficiently at the lower end of the torque curve. The 30 mm should be better at higher rpm and with larger displacement engines.

I have a spare "30" laying around. I've been toying with giving it a shot on my K241 in hopes that I have more high rpm power to get thru some tall grass on my neighbor's outlot. Might the 30 help in this situation?

A stock 30 carb will draw in more air/fuel mixture than a stock 26. Putting a stock 30 carb on a stock 10 horsepower motor will hurt the performace more than help it.
A 14 horsepower Kohler with a small exhaust valve may get by with a 26 carb. A 14 horsepower Kohler with a big exhaust valve will not in the long run. The motor could be on the lean side. Motor that are on the lean side will run hotter and burn a piston, valve, head or a combonation of all 3. One can make a 26 carb flow more air/fuel flow better than a stock 30 carb. It will take serious mods to the carb and motor to do that. |

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
