I am wondering what or if any carb will work on my kohler motor I believe its a 17hp don't know anything about them :censored: came on a mower I bought to turn into a pulling mower and the carb is bad but I wanna swap it to another mower if I can find a different cheaper carb to use for it

17 horse what?? Single, twin, flathead, ohv? Command series, courage or magnum series???

It an ohv single cylinder pro series off a craftsmen lt1000

I run a fc420 (I think) kawasaki k series carb on mine. Works great and you can use dyno jets for like an atv in it. Works great.

R they expincive I plan to put this kohler on a different mower and use somthing different om my craftsman I don't wanna spend much to make the kohler work as a replacment on a different mower

They are not much more expensive than any of the rest depending on how carried away you get. In my opinion they are more reliable and forgiving compared to a briggs. However with as few that are built, used aftermarket parts are extremely hard to come by if that's how your lookin to buy your parts. What carb rules do you have? Any restrictions to what you can run?
