I recently had my carb on my cub cadet xt1 with a Kohler 7000 series engine cleaned..The model is kt735-3076 with a Walbro LMC series carb on it. Well while the guy was trying to remove the main jet, it got all fouled up...and it's hard as f*** to find another one...my question is does anyone know the exact jet size for that carb? It is claimed that same carb is on the kt730- kt745 models and on a few different engine kind of other mower brands..all I need to know is the jet size so I can possible order another one..I've been through 3 aftermarket carbs and we all know how that went.. oh, and the carb stamp only says walbro LMC with the number 7 inside a circle...has been thoroughly cleaned and no other useful numbers to identify the exact model

Try removing the jet from the three aftermarket carburetors, and installing into the OEM Walbro, and seeing if that works. Unless the jet in the Walbro cannot be removed because the head of jet is stripped. The OEM carburetor can be ultrasonically cleaned with jet installed and it should run right afterwards. Did the guy tell you he messed up the jet?
 
People are always trying to avoid a professional shop. DIYers can really screw things up if they don't know what they are doing.

First that guy probably was using the wrong tool. A standard screwdriver is the wrong tool. Second he should had known that Walbro no longer provide jets separately. If it doesn't easily you leave it alone period.

As Tiger said you simply don't remove them to clean the carb normally. Now it is time to bit the bullet and buy a new carb. New carb PN is 32 853 99-S.

You need to keep your stuff away from that Bubba.
He was getting experience working on your equipment and you got some costly experience with him. Hope you did not have to pay him very much.
 
I appreciate all u guys comments, and yes he should have known better...gotta bite the bullet and buy another one...learned a lesson from this one the hard way...old guy that's been working on mowers for yrs... I was referred to him and had a good rep from what people told me...next time I'll take off the main stuff and throw the body into an ultrasonic cleaner like Tiger Small Engine said
