I have a Keihin carb on a Kohler SV720 courage that would flood if left standing so I installed a fuel cock in the line, with a new needle valve.
That worked for a couple of years and then it would flood with the engine running.
A chinese carb worked for a year then pooped the bed, so now I'm looking at rebuilding the original.
An online search showed me a kohler replacement seat along with other components in a kit for $120 Cnd but it doesn't specify the carb it's for, the cat number is 20 521 02-s.( it's pricey!)
I've seen some carbs seats removed but read someplace that these keihin carbs have non-replaceable seats, my keinin carb is 32 053 12.
Any ideas?

The 32 053 12-S does not have kit that includes the needle seat so it is assume the needle seat is not replaceable.

24 757 46-S Carburetor Overhaul Kit contains the following items only.

20 521 02-S Carburetor rebuild kit is for the Pressure fed Walbro Carburetor used on the Courage Single cylinder engines.
