onan carb

I have two sears ss 16 with onan motors. enough to make a crazy man go insane. Anyone know if a replacement carb exists? Does anyone know how to remove those idle screws with damaged heads? appreciate any feedback.

HI
A VERY SIMPLE SOLUTION TO YOUR CARB PROBLEMS IS TO INSTALL A NIKKI CARB. WILL NEED AN ADAPTER & FUEL PUMP, ALL ON EBAY, SIMPLE INSTALL, DON'T GET RIPPED ON AN AIR CLEANER, SHOP, SHOULD GET ALL NECESSARY PARTS FOR ABOUT $75, YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY.

Thanks Jimmy. Can you be more specific? i don't want to order wrong items. I really appreciate your help . That is best information i have gotten and fighting problem for long long time.

GO TO EBAY, SHOP ALL THE NIKKI CARBS FOR P216,P218,P220, THERE IS A BIT OF DIFFERENCE IN THE CARB.VENTURA ON SOME MODELS, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT, ONAN USED AN ADAPTER TO MOUNT SOME OF THE CARBS. ON INT.MANIFOLD LIKE YOURS AND ALSO ONAN CASTED A MANIFOLD TO FIT THE CARB. BOTTOM MOUNT, EITHER WILL BE FINE.TAKES A DIFFERENT AIR CLEANER THAN YOURS, NOT THAT EXPENSIVE IF YOU SHOP, SOME WANT VERY HIGH PRICES, NEW MANIFOLD GASKETS, CARB, MANIFOLD,MABY ADAPTER, AIR CLEANER & MOUNT SCREWS, FUEL HOSE, FUEL PUMP($10 LISTED FOR BRIGGS), NO REASON YOU CAN'T GET GOING FOR $100 OR LESS, MOST OF THESE CARBS, ARE FAIRLY CLEAN INSIDE.

Thanks again Jimmy. have carb and adapter on order. Now looking for air filter housing. Can't wait to hear it run.

GOOD LUCK WITH THE JAP NIKKI CARB. REMOVED THE DD CARB AND INS. A NIKKI A FEW YEARS BACK, BEEN A GOOD DEAL . THE AIR CLEANER NEEDS A SUPPORT TO HELP KEEP DOWN VIBERATION, IF YOU DON'T GET THE BONNET TO GO OVER THE TOP OF THE CARB. NO BIG DEAL, WASHERS ON THE THREE MOUNTING SCREWS WOULD BE GOOD. I USE UP A FUEL PUMP ABOUT YEARLY.
JIMMY

I hate to bother you again but where do i find a bonnet.assume this allows me to use original air filter.

HI
I DIDN'T EXPLAIN VERY WELL, YOU CANNOT USE YOUR OLD AIR CLEANER, WHAT I WAS CALLING A BONNET IS A THREE LEGGED STOOL LOOKING RIG THAT SITS ON TOP OF THE CARB INSIDE THE AIR CLEANER, ABOUT ONE INCH HIGH TO KEEP DEBRIS OUT OF CARB AND DIRECT AIR, EACH LEG OF THE STOOL HAS A HOLE DOWN THROUGH IT FOR THE AIR CLEANER HOLD DOWN BOLTS (SCREWS), I HAVE SEEN SOME GOOD VIEWS OF THE PARTS ON EBAY AGAIN (SHOP WELL).
JIMMY

Thanks again Jimmy. Still looking for that 3 leg stool. Not on ebay.

HI
I AM NOT DESCRIBING THIS PART WELL. GO TO LAWNMOWER & PARTS ON EBAY PULL UP (ONAN AIR CLEANER), FLOYDS HA AN ASSEMBLY FOR $64.99 TOO MUCH, YOU WILL SEE A 3" DIAMETER BROWN PLASTIC SOMETHING IN THE PHOTO. THIS AIR DIVERTER IS NOT NECESSARY, ONLY THREE FLARE HEADED SCREWS ARE NEEDED TO FASTEN THE UNIT TO THE CARB
