Carburetor for walk behind front wheel drive Poulan Pro lawn mover.

[3monkeys]

Hi,
I'm looking for a carburetor for my walk behind front wheel drive Poulan Pro lawn mover. The part number for it (from Poulan Support): 16100-Z870510-0009, The strangest part is I could find it any reference on the web. (with exception of https://www.jackssmallengines.com/j...v175-7-0-8-0-ft-lbs/rv175-carburetor-assembly)
The other strange part is the model on the carburetor itself is Z870210-171028-R and made by "SP" ... From the Poulan support the engine is made by Rato. I tried to take it apart and clean it but the bolt/not that hold float bowl seen to stuck. Anyone know if it can be removed the bolt and where I can find a replacement.

Thanks,

it's a Briggs & Stratton, R175 but the rep told me it's a Rato base on my serial number: 030118M000777

No it looks like:

Just a Poulan Pro with 174 on it...

Your model number comes back with the product number with the Rato engine. It looks like that engine was used on 2 models of Poulan Pro mowers in 2017. Was told that Rato US no longer exist by my distributor a few years back due to looking for parts for a Rato used on a Generac generator.

So I'm out of luck ! ... Have you encountered any carburetor that can't be take apart ? I can open the drain nut but have such a hard time unscrew (counter clock wise) the one that hold the hold float bowl. I don't want to put too much pressure and crack it.

Thanks,

I'd take the carb in to a local mower shop and see if they have something that might work. Take the engine displacement with you so that can match that too.

That nut on the bottom may be corroded on or they could have used Loctite on it.
