This genuine OEM part is designed for use with Kohler engines commonly installed on a variety of lawn and garden equipment. The purpose of this part is to mix air and gas before the fuel mix goes to the engine. If the engine won't start and the tank is full of fresh fuel, test the carburetor by removing the air filter and pouring about a teaspoon of fuel into the carburetor. Pull the starter rope. If the engine starts and then quickly dies, the carburetor is likely the problem. To complete this repair you would need a screwdriver and a wrench set. Note, the kit includes one durable metal body carburetor and two gaskets to ensure a tight fit.

Perfect part, started on the first pull. Most of the other dealers said the carb was obsolete and no longer available. Thank you for what you do.
The carburetor worked perfectly. About six months ago I purchased a couple bath ventilation fans from you. They were also perfect fits and considered obsolete by the other parts guys. I will come to E-Replacement Parts first for all my parts needs. If you don’t have it, I probably don’t need it. Thank you JSG

Lawn mower carburetor?
I purchased a carburetor from your website. One that I thought would work on my Kohler lawn mower. After receiving it I realized just how many subtle differences there are in these parts. This one wouldn’t work. So I called your help number and your man helped find the correct style within just a couple minutes. Then he helped me return the one I had chosen. Perfect! You guys made this easy for me which I really appreciate. Thank you. Ed.L

Convinced the carb was still the issue despite cleaning attempts, and since I was replacing the carb, to bring the mover back to practically new specks (It was 4 years old), I replaced the carb, choke, and diaphragm. Fuel frequently evaporates around the gas cap, so I am also replacing the gas cap since ethanol fuel is such a problem nowadays
1. Removed the starter (71"Lbs)
2. Removed the engine housing
3. Clamped and disconnected the fuel line (Small amount of gas drained)
4. Removed the air filter housing and air filter
5. Removed the three carb retaining nuts (71"Lbs)
6. Unplugged the spark plug
7. Removed the auto choke retaining nuts (No torque specs, just moderately tight)
8. Removed the choke torx screws (2)
9. Removed the diaphragm torx screws (2)
10. Removed the vacuum lines going to the carb/air cleaner housing
11. Completely removed the air cleaner housing
12. Completely removed the choke assembly
13. Completely removed the diaphragm assembly
14. Removed all linkages, used a small pair of needle nose on the throttle spring
15. Removed the old carb and gaskets
16. Pulled the old gas cap out of the tank (The fingers are plastic and will bend with a small amount of force)
17. Swapping old parts with new parts, assemble by reversing disassembly steps. Ensure you put in the two new carb gaskets and torque everything as documented by Kohler
By about halfway through a starter pull, the engine was running. It had not started that fast since it was new, and ran like new once re-assembled. You can probably cut the expense by a third if you just replace the carburetor, but I wanted a like new machine starting over again for at least 4 years. Pay close attention to fuel stabilizers and emptying the tank at year end. These things gum way too quickly with modern fuels. I never did figure out what I missed cleaning the original carb

1. Watched some videos to help diagnose problem (fouled carburetor seemed most likely)
2. Replaced with carb kit rather than try to rebuild/clean existing carb
3. Fuel line disintegrated when removed. Also broke/cracked some linkages during removal, so there was a delay as I needed to order more parts. Also, a couple of stripped screws had to be replaced
4. Completed general cleaning and PM, new plug and air filter
5. Started on the first pull.

I looked at your you tube video on: How to Replace the Carburetor on a Honda HRX217 Lawn Mower. Although my engine is made by Kohler. The information I saw helped me to remove and replace the carburetor for my engine. Here is the video I watched.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D32zXNYSxmw
I also replaced the recoil starter assembly. All that I needed to do was remove three nuts from the old starter and lift the old starter off, then the place the new starter in place and tighten the nuts.
