Kohler Carburetor on a KT17s twin

[klink]

I had the main fuel needle out of the carb & was blowing light air from compressor into the various carb holes to get any dirt out. Out of the corner of my eye I seen some thing fly out of the main fuel jet hole on top of carb. I looked around but could not find anything. I know I blew something out , because now the long main fuel adjusting jet screw won't bottom out when turned down clock wise. Question ? what do you think flew out the needle seat or some packing or what ? The Garden tractor is a Simplicity 7117with the 17 twin powerpack engine. maybe some one has an internal sectional diagram of the inside of the carb #5247805

Thanks Batty54 I looked in the manual but could not find my carb # although there are pics that look like it - This did help - I know that it is a Kohler carb & not a walbro carb - I'm going to my kohler dealer and see if he can help me out - I will let you guys know the outcome asap. He may not be open this holiday week end. Klink

latest news is - good news & bad news - good news is it was dirt that came out - went to kohler dealer and he said all the parts was there - so I bought a rebuild kit and rebuilt the carb - carburetor wise the motor runs great - bad news is motor is blowing oil out of crankcase vent tube up into carburetor air cleaner - any help in this scenario would be appreciated. BTW I just bought this tractor & I do have a 917 AC with an updated 18 twin kohler in it, that is similar to the 7117
