Compatible Models

We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.

Compatible equipment / model
  • John Deere L110 lawn tractor with compatible 17.5HP Kohler engine
  • Kohler SV530, SV540, SV590, or SV600 specifications using the listed carburetor configuration

Product Overview

The L110 is simple enough to keep working for years, but a carburetor full of varnish or damaged by water can turn every mowing day into a starting battle. This replacement is for owners who have confirmed fuel metering failure and want the tractor back to dependable, governed operation.

Kohler carburetors are selected by engine model and specification, not the L110 decal alone. Compare the original number, solenoid, choke shaft, linkage, and mounting face.

This is a high-quality aftermarket replacement or service part and is not manufactured or supplied by the original equipment brand.

Key Features & Performance

  • Replacement fuel-metering assembly for matching Kohler-powered L110 tractors
  • Supports clean transition from idle to governed mowing speed
  • Useful when corrosion or casting damage makes rebuilding unreliable
  • Aftermarket service alternative for an established lawn tractor

Compatibility Notice

Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown. Model names and year ranges alone may not guarantee fitment. Always compare the original component, reference number, dimensions, connectors, engine or vehicle identification, and installed configuration before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why are several Kohler part numbers listed? A: Kohler revisions and supersessions can share a service configuration, but the original number and engine specification must still be matched.

Q: Will it fit an L110 with a different engine replacement? A: Only if the installed engine uses the same carburetor arrangement.

Q: Can I turn up the governor for more power? A: No. Excess governed speed can damage the engine and mower.

Q: How should final fitment be confirmed? A: Match the original component and every listed identifier and physical detail; contact Northline Parts with the model, serial number, VIN, engine code, or clear photos when additional help is needed.
