I have a Keihin carb on a Kohler SV720 courage that would flood if left standing so I installed a fuel cock in the line, with a new needle valve. That worked for a couple of years and then it would flood with the engine running. A chinese carb worked for a year then pooped the bed, so now I'm...

This engine runs in an MTD Gold lawn tractor about 12 years old. The cable from the throttle lever to the carb linkage is solid 'piano wire ' running in a spiral wound steel sheath like a bikes brake cable with plastic coating on the outside. I replaced it when it began to jam and it was ok at...

I run an MTD snowblower attachment on my lawn tractor and about 2 years ago 1/2 of the Lovejoy coupling snapped so I replaced it along with the plastic insert/spider. The model number is 190-032. This coupling connects the output shaft of the right angle drive to the input shaft of the impeller...

I want to change out the lubricant in the right angle gearbox,that P/N is 917-1714A.It is driven with a belt from the tractor's PTO.

After a winter of blowing snow with my Kohler sv730 it developed a extreme hard starting problem so I found the choke wasn't working and fixed that. While I had it apart I cleaned it well soaking overnight in white gas & using compressed air, etc. So now it starts on command and runs at...

Hi all, I just bought my first garden tractor, a used MTD gold with a Kohler 25 hp courage twin, and like a lot of others had starting problems. So I adjusted the valves and didn't see much improvement and was going to take another crack at it when during the course of working on it unplugged...
