Pro Chaser SH265 carburetor: a complete replacement carburetor kit engineered to restore fuel delivery and reliable starting for Kohler 6.5 HP (196cc) engines and compatible small-engine equipment.

This kit supplies a ready-to-install carburetor and all commonly needed accessories so you can swap a worn or damaged carburetor without hunting down separate parts. It's designed to match the mounting pattern and fuel paths of popular Kohler Series 3000 and similar 196cc engines used in pressure washers, log splitters, water pumps, and tillers. The package includes gaskets, an oil tube and isolator, a three-wire switch, an insulator and a spark plug so you have the parts most shops ask for during a routine carburetor replacement.

Will this carburetor fit my Kohler CH270 or similar 196cc engine?

The Pro Chaser SH265 is made to fit Kohler Series 3000 engines identified as 6.5 HP (196cc) and the CH270/CH260/SH255 family with the same mounting and throttle link layout. Check your engine model number and mounting bolt pattern to confirm compatibility before ordering.

• Matches mounting and fuel inlet locations for CH270/SH255/SH265 variants.
• Fits many pressure washers, tillers, water pumps, and log splitters using this engine size.

What components come in the kit and why they matter?

Beyond the carburetor, the kit includes gaskets, an oil tube and filter, an oil isolator, a three-wire switch, an intake insulator, and a spark plug. These extras address the most common ancillary parts that are replaced when a carburetor has failed, saving time and ensuring a fuller repair in one order.

• Three gaskets for a leak-free seal during installation.
• Oil tube, oil filter, and isolator for safe oil routing where required.
• Three-wire switch for ignition control and a replacement spark plug for reliable starts.

How does installation and tuning work for this replacement carb?

Installation follows standard small-engine carburetor replacement steps: disconnect fuel and ignition, remove the old unit, fit the new carburetor with supplied gaskets, reconnect linkages and fuel, then set idle and mixture per engine manual. Tuning adjustments are made with the factory-recommended screws and should be fine-tuned for smooth idle and throttle response.

• Basic hand tools typically required; follow safety precautions for fuel and spark.
• Use supplied gaskets and insulator to prevent air/fuel leaks and heat soak.
• Adjust idle and mixture per your engine's service guide after install.
