What It Is

This is a complete carburetor kit for Kohler 7000 Series engines (22HP–26HP), commonly used in Craftsman T240 lawn tractors and similar riding mowers. It includes the carburetor, air filter, oil filter, and fuel pump—everything needed to restore fuel and air delivery in one box.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying:

• Engine series: Only for Kohler 7000 Series with 22, 23, 24, 25, or 26 HP (check engine model number, not tractor model). Look for a stamped code like “CH730” or “CH740.”
• Replaces OEM part: 32 853 99-S / KH-32-853-99-S / 32-853-99-S. Verify your current carburetor part number matches.
• Tractor fit: Fits Craftsman T240, but also many other brands using the same Kohler engine (e.g., Troy-Bilt, Husqvarna, Cub Cadet). Not universal—double-check your engine’s mounting flange and throttle linkage style.
• Measurements: The carburetor has a standard 1-inch bore and 3-bolt flange. Measure your old carb’s bolt spacing and inlet size to confirm.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket kit, not OEM Kohler. Most users report it works fine, but some note slight differences in gasket thickness or fuel pump diaphragm durometer. Check for leaks after install.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate—requires removing the old carb, transferring the throttle/governor linkage, and bleeding the fuel system. Have a small screwdriver set and a fuel line clamp ready.
• Common gotcha: The included fuel pump may need a primer bulb or manual prime if the engine sits dry. Also, the air filter is a direct replacement but check the foam pre-filter orientation.
• Price/value: At $45.99, it’s cheaper than buying each part separately. But if your engine runs fine, just replace the gaskets and clean the old carb—this kit is overkill for a simple tune-up.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if your engine has hard starting, surging, or fuel leaks from the carburetor, and you want a one-box fix for a Kohler 7000 Series (22–26 HP) mower. It’s a solid value for a complete replacement, but only if you’re comfortable with carburetor swap work. For mild issues, a $10 gasket set and cleaning might suffice.
