Carb ball
 

I purchased a reasonably good carb for about $50. The ball is not attached to the throttle link. I have to attach the ball to get this running. Anyone tell me how to do that. I rebuilt a cub 100. I basically rebuilt everything but the brakes. Motor clutch electrical everything.

Thanks Doug

Sometimes,, the ball "bolts" onto the carb,,

Take the ball off the old carb?

Hello and thanks for responding
 

Mine is pressed on it appears. No threads that I can tell. Thank you for the reply.

Do you mean this?

Same thing just happened to me.
 

You have two choices. You can replace the throttle valve from the new carb with the old valve from the original or you can buy a replacement "ball" from Dorman's to the tune of about $7. Be sure the screw on the ball will go through the hole on the throttle and be sure the screw won't drag on the air fuel mixture screw. (You can shim the screw up out of the way with small washers if need be.) For the next poor guys who believe the pics, they show the ball on top of the throttle linkage and guarantee a replace and go hook up. Also, if I don't miss my guess, you'll play heck getting this carb set without it having to have a new float valve and bowl gasket replacement. This has happened to me twice. Still beats paying the price for OEM replacement (assuming you don't break up too much during the ensuing temper tantrums!!) Good Luck. CB

Put that CHI-NAAAA carb back in the box,and write on it "new/unused mistake".
then clean your original carb, and reinstall it on your engine.
You and you engine will thank you every time you use it.:beerchug:

Some CHI-NAAAA carbs work, some not, but the carter on your kohler, is one fine little carb.

I agree. Clean the old one.
