Works great on Troy Bilt 5550 generator

I have a 16 year old Troy Bilt 5550 watt generator that would not start. I factory carburetor part number is no longer manufactured. This Oakten 591378 is the replacement part number. I installed the new Oakten carburetor today and the generator started up on the very first pull and it now runs perfect again.

Works great just like the old one.

CUB CADET 1050 Spindle MTD 618-05016 918-05016

part seems high quality, but the bolt holes are smooth. They are not threaded and have not been pre-tapped.
The product description mentioned nothing about having to tap these holes prior to installation and so now I can’t even install the product… I specifically bought this because i wanted higher quality than something from overseas… I would’ve liked to have known it needed machining prior to installation.

Not quite the correct length, worked with minor modification.

Works well and fits well. Quick shipping and packaged well.
