New Carburetor Carb For Kohler CH1000 CH680 CH750 CH940 CH960 CH980 CV10000 CV940 CV980 Replace 6285345s

What It Is

This is an aftermarket carburetor replacement for Kohler V-twin engines in the CH and CV series (1000, 680, 750, 940, 960, 980) and CV10000, CV940, CV980. It fits zero-turn mowers, garden tractors, and large walk-behinds using these engines.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Engine series: CH1000, CH680, CH750, CH940, CH960, CH980, CV10000, CV940, CV980. Check your engine’s model number (stamped on the valve cover or blower housing).
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces Kohler part 6285345s. Verify your original carb’s part number matches.
• Physical check: Measure mounting bolt spacing (center-to-center) and fuel inlet size. This carb uses a standard 90-degree elbow fitting and a 5/16” fuel line.
• Gaskets and linkage: May require reusing your old gaskets or ordering a separate gasket kit. Throttle/choke linkage may need minor adjustment.
• Not universal: Does not fit Kohler Courage, Command Pro, or older single-cylinder engines. Confirm your engine is a CH/CV series with a side-draft carb.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket carb—can work well but may need a thorough cleaning of casting debris or a float adjustment out of the box.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Requires removing the air filter housing, disconnecting fuel and throttle cables, and swapping gaskets. Expect 30-60 minutes.
• Common gotchas: The fuel inlet elbow may be loose—tighten it with thread sealant. The idle mixture screw is preset; you may need to tweak it after installation. Old gaskets often leak if reused—buy a new gasket set.
• Warranty: No manufacturer warranty listed; return window depends on seller. Inspect immediately for defects.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a Kohler CH/CV engine with a failed or clogged carb and want a budget-friendly replacement (under $80) for a DIY fix. Skip it if you need exact OEM fit, ultra-reliability for commercial use, or if your engine is a different series—stick with a Kohler genuine carb in those cases.
