I am in the process of rebuilding an old LX172 and unfortunately am going to need a new or different carburetor. A used OEM carb with the same model number is rare and a new one is $250, which I am not willing to spend on this project. The search for alternatives is complicated by the fact that the FC420v engine on this mower has multiple versions/models ( mine is the FC420v-AS10) and the parts differ per version. I've looked at all the sites and checked all the suppliers, parts lists, specs and manuals.
So, I'm hoping someone out there has some hands on experience with this engine and knowledge of some carb options, if any exist. The carb that came with this engine has a fuel solenoid but I could run without one if the carb fit.
Thanks
