Default Different lengths of needles?
Is there different lengths of needles on k series carbs? I ordered a needle and seat per tractor model and it seems as if the needle I got is too long. I cannot set the float properly. It was late last night and I didn't measure it but it just doesn't seem right

Or what Carb is it? Kohler or Walbro? I think the needles were different.

The new needle should look like the old one sat side by side.

That doesn't really help. How about some numbers off the carb? Or at least a model..... Is it a Kohler, Walbro, Carter..... Is it a fixed jet, or adjustable? A pic is fine, we need more info.

Also, need to know what part number you got. No matter what brand it is..... just need to know so we can see if it is correct or not.

It was a kohler carb and the needle was not the problem. I was trying to work on the carb on the tractor so I didn't notice this at first, when I pulled the carb off and turned it upside down the seet had actually backed out about three threads. Never had that happen so wasn't really looking for that. Got it back together and it runs like a champ!

you just can't rebuild a carb on the tractor, now when you put it back on don't forget to adjust the governor to the carb

Don't worry Don the plans for this motor is to end up by you, as long as my beans and corn yield like they should! I pull and play with mr. Kreif quite a bit and really like the 16 you did for him. We are going pulling together tomorrow, my first go round with this 1200 I picked up we will see what happens!

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.
