Default Carb bowl gasket
Hello everyone, I got the removed and all cleaned up. It had some varnish in the main jet completely clogging it. Now I'm ready to install the carb but I haven't had any luck finding gaskets. I can make the mounting gasket but I'm needing advice on the bowl gasket. I was wondering if an O-Ring would work?
I think the old gasket will still work I just wanted to go back new. Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.

All you have to do is walk into any Cub Cadet or Kohler dealer and buy a carb kit, which you probably need anyway if the carb was all gunked up.

Yup, Cub Cadet/IH dealers sell them. IMO when you take apart a carb it needs to have new gaskets/seals installed cuz the old ones leak.

You can do what you like. I've re-used the bowl gasket quite a number of times on various K-series Kohler engines. You can buy them separately from a kit or used to anyway.

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.
