Carburetor for 7.5 KW Generator
I have a serious dilemma; I am looking for operable Carburetor to repair my generator made by Kohler. new or used (if operable and can be rebuilt is fine).
The model num is : 7.5R or 7.5R27 Serial Number: 197312
Spec is: 106276-A
Kohler part number is: 5005303 verified this in part's manual and stamp on carb.
Carb manufacturer mark is C-241227. The generator is getting a valve job and Carb is shot, no way to repair as electrolysis has eaten the air mixture shaft and the bolt. In all my years I have never seen so much damage. A rebuild kit will not fix the problem.
Please if any of you can help or point me to business to get one, I would greatly appreciate it. Kohler could not help they only make diesel generators now.
Thank you Gordon

Re: Carburetor for 7.5 KW Generator
As Bud mentioned, determine the engine make and model and you can hopefully find a new carb.

Oh that is an old one......tractors, welding machines, utility generators depending on which model the engine is etc....check some yards down there.
Is yours cranked from a starter or the gen head/exciter ?

Re: Carburetor for 7.5 KW Generator
The cost for a new generator is just crazy to be honest.

Poking around a bit I am indeed shocked that they were still using flatheads into the 90s!! Definitely agree the new genset prices are crazy, or even beyond crazy these days. Even used ones have crazy prices. They've been very high for a couple decades but maybe they were always crazy high.
I also poked around for a bit to see if I could find some resources for a carb, but couldn't find any good leads.
