Thanks,

Honda doesn't offer carb kits as such,but just every part separate.I wouldn't think the clone engine would have those numbers on it,the GJAEA-2240277 sounds pretty officially Honda to me.Is it a GCV,or a GXV series engine? Some of the GCV carbs cost only around $15.00 to $30.00,so at our shop f it's really gunked,it doesn't pay to do an overhaul on it and we just replace it,with labor rates so high.

If it's an MTD with a clone engine, you can find a parts breakdown for the engine at their site.

Thanks guys,I will give it a another look on the MTD web site.

Update,Took the carb off and clean the carb. with carb. spray,find the main jet stop up,put it all back together,and the mower runs great.Still was unable to bring anything up about this mower,on the MTD web site.Thanks again.
