Actually a Nikki carburetor.

Yep, they use those a lot on their ATV's. $40-$75 new if you shop around. Might even find a Chinese knock-off cheaper than that/

Well I installed the $100 (ouch) gasket kit from Deere. BTW the package weighed about an ounce or two. So far so good. It started up good, did not seem to leak, flood or run rich. Couldn't figure out were the smallest two gaskets went. I'll likely have to adjust it tomorrow.

The carburetor replacement from Deere was about $275 last year iirc. I checked for after market but didn't find any thing that remotely matched. All were single carbs, this is a dual.

Nice to say alls done and fixed. I think the real issue was a main needle but replaced all the o-rings so we'll never know because I'm not putting the old one back in just to prove it.
