Default Carb problem????
Hey guys i need some expertise and maybe a miracle...

My 1450 which i have not been able to get running (well), so i finally brought it to my buddies shop (he is a John Deere dealer). Anyways he through another carb on my tractor and she ran fine! So they want to sell me a carb for $325. well i would love to throw a new carb on, but i dont have the money to. So my question is: can i fix this carb? He said it is worn out and she is getting too much air in or something. Or should i try and find a used carb? if so where?

Also, on my coil the bottom nut is stripped and the nut will not stay on tight anymore. What can i do?

I appreciate all your help in advance.

It is hard to say without knowing more info, but I would guess that it is getting too much air around the throttle shaft? Which there is a couple of different fixes for it, but really need to know more.

google Kohler K321 carb and I think you'll find a replacement carb for about $100 with no exchange. I'm guessing it is a Walbro.

as long as you are at it, get a rebuild kit for yours and have some fun!!!

I think it's the main throttle flapper. It moves up and down.

$325 for a carb? Are you getting kissed with that? I had Vince O rebuild one for about $20.00

Default carb problem
try to see if its a carter or warbro ,if warbro,dont fool with it .and get a carter , 26 or 28 or number 30 ,look in side the bore of the carb ,and it should say one of the numbers listed ,if it has numbers in the 50s ,its a warbro .now if your carb is leaking around the throttle shaft ,it can be repaired ,with a bushing ,or sometimes with a plastic washer .there is a brake down ,how to repair this in the kohler manual .hope this helps .David

Yeah I thought 325 seemed a bit steep.

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.
