Default #30 Kohler carb seat threads
I replaced the carb on my CC149 with a new one. The only thing wrong with the old one was stripped threads on the needle seat. Like that when I bought it. Anyone know if there is a helicoil available for this application? I hate to toss the carb if it can be fixed.
Carb was on a Kohler K321.

I was thinking they were an odd thread, but I'll check.

The big thing is, even if you can get a heli-coil, it's not going to be easy to install. Not much room to work, very small threads..... sucks but I'd probably just strip it out and toss the carb body, save the guts. May run across another carb that the bowl rusted off of but the body is good. Unless the throttle shaft is wore into the body, or it is cracked, you can bead blast the body and save them.

I'll still check the thread size when I am near a carb again. I don't have any here at home, they're at the shop......

I thought about epoxying a new seat in. It would have to be a fuel resistant epoxy, maybe JB Weld. Might work for a while. Usually it's the tip of the needle that wears?
Slightly off topic: I have polished a leaking seat with a Q-tip in an electric drill. Q-tip dipped in auto rubbing compound. Worked the one time I tried it.

none of the thread gauges (American or metric) that I have match it

Glad you checked Don. I was pretty sure it was odd ball, but I haven't been where I could measure.

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.
