I just bought this YTH2248 with the CV675s 22hp Kohler. The previous owner had the choke linkage and cable all bent and messed up. I bent it back and rerouted the choke cable.

The problem is that it doesn't seem like it's throttling up all the way with throttle at max and it stalls when engaging the electric deck pto, not all the time but most. I believe it's because of the throttle issue. Here are some pics.

Don't know what's going on with your throttle and choke but just wanted to mention something I've learned to help with your stalling issue until you can get it sorted out.

Instead of just engaging the PTO and leaving it engaged, pull it out for a second to just get things turning, push it back in and then pull it back out. This works for my somewhat tired Exmark running heavy G-6 blades with the spindle-driven vac unit on. Basically it splits the start-up load to 2 events rather than one, reducing the strain on the engine.

Thanks. That's what I have to do to get it to work.

Could have a fuel delivery issue, governor issue or carb issue, or worst of all the thing is just tired. Does it smoke?

I think it's a governor issue but not positive. It doesn't smoke at all. It only has 169 hours on it.

If the governor is out of adjustment it the springs in the governor are stretched, then this could happen. Also, it may not be running at the correct top load rpm. I had this issue with my 18hp Briggs that was supposed to be run at 3650rpm no load full throttle and it was only at about 3250 before I adjusted it. On top of that, it is recommended to engage the PTO at half throttle so I was definitely down on power when the clutch would grab.

You don’t have the cables hooked up correctly. Take a look at page 5.19 of this manual, which should help you out.

Thanks for that. I just took a look. I guess I'm not seeing whats not hooked up correctly? The cables seem to me that they are in the same positions as the illustration?

You have both cables hooked to the same lever. The lever is the choke lever and I’m assuming your choke cable is the top one, coming in from the left. That means that the other cable, coming in from the right, is the throttle cable, which should be hooked to the lever behind the choke lever.
