Hi BLES
I believe the earlier Kohlers used a Carter carburetor with the high speed mixture screw on top and the idle mixture screw at a 45ยบ angle. The Walbro carburetors have the high speed mixture screw set low at an angle just above the float bowl. The float bowl I have in stock looks like it's for the Carter carburetor and is P/N 235448-S. Partstree says this bowl fits the K241 engine, but I think the 16 hp engine is the K341. John Deere's number for the float bowl to fit the carburetor on the 316 tractor with the 16 hp engine is M43135 and it appears to still be available through JD. Hope this helps point you in the right direction,
Sky
