Product Overview
A Toro Recycler or other mower with an XT engine may surge, stall, leak fuel, or refuse to start after stale fuel dries in the carburetor. This kit provides a replacement carburetor and service items as supplied for engines using the matching standard-choke setup.
Kohler XT specification numbers matter. Compare the choke style, fuel inlet, mounting, air-filter connection, and original 14 853 68-S reference before ordering.
This is an aftermarket replacement part and is not manufactured or supplied by the original equipment brand.

Q: Can stale fuel damage the new carburetor? A: Yes. Clean the tank and lines before installation.
