Carb Bushing #?

Here's a link to a bushing I found/made from local hardware store. http://onlycubcadets.net/forum/showt...t=139&page=256
I found the washer in the plumbing section, there was a box of assorted washers for plumbing fixtures. The purple washer is a very dense rubber, almost plastic like. It fit perfectly in carb, just had to drill out center a little for a super snug fit. It works great as it's on my 147 that's running good now! If you need part# I can get it for you when I head over to the store today, tomorrow.

Now your talking, that is a much better way to fix these than the bushing I was about to put in!! Sure am glad I didn't jump in and drill the shaft hole out. Got my head for the 109 off, cleaned carbon and found a .020 piston in the cyl. Took the head to the machine shop when I went to pick up the head for my series 60 detroit that they were rebuilding. They trued it up for me while I was there and didn't even charge me for it, after what I payed for the Detroit head I guess that wasn't much. It only took a couple of minutes on the belt to make it really purty! The daughter wants to go put it on right now so I will be looking for the head torque and going down to put the head on, brought the die grinder with the wizzer pad home to finish cleaning it up. Thanks for the washer trick, you guys are AWESOME!!!!

Hi, new member here, there is a bushing kit that works well, from kohler, the problem with just bushing is that many times the throttle shaft is real worn also. there are a few different sizes (kits) so you have to measure to shaft. the most common ones I have sold are kohler part #25 757 15-s, and 25 757 16-s, and they are very proud of them as they run about $50. spendy for a bushing and shaft

I found this.

$50 seems a little steep to me too. Got a thick rubber bushing that is a little wide, will drill out the middle to fit shaft and shape the outside to the carb. If it works I have .89 cents in the part. Course it might not work, and in that case I just crapped away a buck! Couldn't find anything that was a great match, but not giving up. Wish someone had some part numbers for these bushings/washers from Ace.

Is all I could find so far:

Use a 6mm deepwell socket to install.

I do some plummin from time to time.Once in a while you have a dripping faucet to fix,by replacing the rubber washers on valve stems on sinks,tubs ect,low and behold in my kit is the same type of washer Jude used.All I had to do was twist a .266 drill bit by hand and wala!,new bushing.

One of our sponcers listed at the top of the page "Cub Cadet Classics" sells them. They are on the botton of the third page of Kohler parts.
