Carburetor Carb FOR Kohler CV13 CV14 CV15 CV15S CV16 CV16S 12-853-56 81 93 178 -S, 42-853-03-S, LT160 GT225 LX255 LX266 132033

Perfect fit. Got my lawn tractor back up and running quickly after it sat for a year and gummed up carb. Didn’t want to bother trying to take apart and clean jets and deal with old o-rings. Bought this, swapped on and running within 10 minutes.

I orgionally bought this kit for the carburetor solenoid and the fuel shut off valve. The other tune-up components were a bonus.The solenoid fits the orgional carburetor so don't replace the whole unit if you don't have to. Bowl and solenoid are direct fit.The fuel shut off valve is great add. The piping and clamps fit.I did not get two cartridge fuel filters. I got one and a smaller screen filter. I used both without really noticing. Not a big issue but that may happen to you if you order this kit.Yes, the air filter is " too tall", but not impossible to use.The taller filter leaves less thread exposed. This makes it impossible to put the filter cover back on. To me, that's not a big deal.If you want to solve that issue, order all thread in M6 1.0, maybe 150 - 200 mm in length. Get washers and nuts. Make it fit and cut it to height.The filter in the kit has more pleats than my old one and appears to be of similar quality in all other regards. I am going to use it and probably modify the mount to fit the cover.All other tune-up items appear to be good generic quality. It's a lawn mower, doesn't need the fancy parts.

I read some negative reviewsBut decided to take the risk anywayFor the cost I could toss itSo it arrived sooner than expectedInstall was easyStarted no problemRan fine no idle issuesOnly issue is if u try to go full throttle to fastHardest part was finding power for the solenoidBut not an issueI’d recommend this

Excelente funcionamiento bueno

I really only needed the carburetor, and this bundle looked like a good deal. The description said it fit a Kohler CV15S which is what I have. However, the air filter is about 3/4" too tall. See photo. The cover won't fit over the air filter, so the air filter is useless. No value for the money there.The carburetor was a quick and easy swap. It came with new gaskets, but make sure you reuse the bushing for the governor cable from your old carb. The wiring harness for the fuel solenoid has a polarized plug, but the jack on the solenoid is not polarized. The plug can go in either way, and there are NO instructions whatsoever. There is ZERO documentation with this thing. I had to guess at which way to connect the plug. It's a 50/50 coin toss. I just happened to get lucky on my first try.I changed my rating from 2 stars to 1. The carburetor is junk. The throttle butterfly binds, limited movement. I ended up repairing my old carb. The sparkplug in the kit exploded on the first crank. It flew 30'. I'm glad no one was injured and no property was damaged.Junk.

The air filter is too tall [ 1/2 inch.] the carburetor choke pin that stops the choke from being open or close too far had to be ground down to allow proper operation.But for the money it was it.

The carb in this kit had a solenoid on the bottom with an electrical connector. My tractor's solenoid had none so I could not use it but used the gas cutoffs valve in the kit

This carburetor arrived in a timely fashion and was very easy to install. Our scotts lawnmower was puking oil into the old carb so we ordered this one as a replacement and it worked great!
