On Kohler's you are better off getting a new carb. Just the seat assembly is 37.55. That's almost half the cost of a new carb. You would still need the needle, and bowl gasket at the very minimum to do a proper rebuild. Parts and Diagrams for Kohler Engines CV14-1497 SNAPPER (14 HP)

Got the mower cheap.
Carb was flooding the engine with gas so the guy out a in line shutoff.
Ha ha ha I took the bowl off to fix it. No f#€king float or needle valve.
I have a ziplock bag full of needle valves but not this one.
Now this is where it gets good took a carb off of a good running engine put it on this one. Starts right up and runs like crap like not getting enough fuel. I shut the inline cut off off and the engine starts to run good I open it back up and it runs like crap.
I am thinking my fuel line is to big.

Your new carb might have to big of jets. See if you can unscrew the jet from the orig and swap.

Iam a firm believer in a good quality carb rebuild if its doable!! I have rebuilt several kohler carbs going thorough the same steps with I do with every carb............. Maybe its just me. But the kohler walbro carbs seem to not like to be rebuilt. Or don't rebuild as well as a briggs single cylinder walbro carb.
Iam not trying to cause a debate on to rebuild and not to. Just stating personal experience.

I have never rebuilt a kohler carb.
Have done plenty of Briggs.
I will try and rebuild it if it does not run right I will spend the $90 on a new one.
I have plenty of engines but none set up for a electric pto.
