I do apologize for that. I've been researching this issue for several months now, and been turning up the same unhelpful information dozens of times for the issue I am having.
I'll start running the tests you have mentioned as soon as I can get some time to play with the mower.
Please read this post before copy-pasting something you found on Google.
I have a Husqvarna YT42XLS with a Kohler KT735-3011 engine. It run and drives very smooth, however last season it would bog down and die whenever I engaged the mower.
I have to attempt to engage the mower many many times...

The Money Pit originally cost $2,600 in 2015 ... I ended up getting it for free.
The Craftsman LT4000 ( B&S 42a707-1251-01 ) I have sitting in the barn originally sold for $1,800 in 1994.
It is amazing the difference times makes. The Money Pit had mechanical issues just after the warranty...
Just an update: I put the after-market carburetor on the 'money pit', made what adjustments I could, and the YT42XLS runs butter smooth now. How long it will stay running before something else breaks, I have no clue.
Ordered an OEM rebuild kit for the old carb.
On a side note: there is a LOT...
no it's not ... I can not find any OEM that specifically states it fits a -3011, and it's a known problem that the kt735 do not all use the same parts.
The replacement carburetor I ordered for my KT735-3011 ( Husqvarna YT42XLS ) does not have an idle adjustment screw, nor does it seem to have a hole for one to go into.
Is this a manufacturing error, or just the way some carbs come now-a-days ?
