AM128355 Carburetor Carb Replacement with Gasket Kits for John Deere 2317 2718 9330 LX188 LX279 LX289 17HP Lawn Tractor for Kawasaki FD501V Engine Replace 15003-2653

The part fit perfectly and no issues.

Second China carb or were ever they are from. First one was no good and never ran right. Dumped tons of fuel. This one works pretty good. Still has surging but that can be fixed by tightening up the spring on the throttle to govenor rod

I'm lumping all these cheap, Far East carburetors together for this review because I've swapped out several on my lawn equipment: mowers, trimmers, etc.My John Deere riding mower is old af, but it's one of the good ones. It's liquid cooled, has 3 blades, great mower. A "real" John Deere carburetor ordered from the dealership will cost you like $18,000 so I ordered this one for whatever it costs, I can't remember nor can I be bothered to click two or three things to look it up.Bottom line is that they work, at least for one season. You may get a great one and it'll work forever, who knows?My opinion is that while these parts are indeed built to spec, their tolerances are wayyyy bigger than what John Deere (or any other OEM for that matter) would provide. What typically fails in all these small carburetors from the Far East is the diaphragms and interior seals. The diaphragms tear, floats stick, seals leak, etc.That being said, I still buy these cheap pos parts because they do work for the most part. I recommend buying them because they are just so darn cheap, and a carburetor is super easy to swap. And usually they'll come with lots of accessories like spark plugs, filters, primer bulbs, gas and air hoses, etc. which also adds to the value. So here ya go, thanks for reading!!I'm no small engine repair technician, but I'm pretty handy, so take this with a grain of salt.

Haven't installed yet, but it looks better than the one that wasnon there.

Fits fit my old John Deere lx279 and fixed my problem!

installed carburetor on mower, leaked out the vent.inspected inside "o" ring missing,still leaked out vent, float and valve had no control of fuel.

the first carb i bought had metal shavings in the bowl. and made the mower run even worse than the carb i replaced.. was sent another one and installed it. it works but still surges. ended up rebuilding my original carb and my mower runs good now. hey its a cheap carb. it might not be jetted right. i may pull this one apart and look and see

Worked perfectly. Was a little skeptical but it performed the way it should.

I'm surprised this cheap carburator works as well as the expensive factory ones.

Fits perfectly and works perfectly on Kawasaki FD590V engine in my Kubota TG1860G.
