Im having a fuel issue and have it narrowed down to the carb. I do not have the expertise or patience to do a carb rebuild with the small parts. Looking to buy a new carb.
JD part is $210 bucks. Kawasaki part is $118.
Im told the only difference is one has the shutoff solenoid which would help prevent backfires when I shut off the engine. Is it porrible to buy the cheaper carb and just remove the bolt on the bottom and add my solenoid? Just bout a replacement solenoid thinking it was the problem- hate to pay for iot again on a new carb.
Anyone use the carb with just a bolt?
