  • / help I installed a 21hp ( white ) engine in my husqvarna yth 20-42
the white engine I installed on my Husqvarna has 2 mechanism on the front where cables connect so I had to run a separate choke cable just to operate the choke and was able to connect the gas ( speed of engine ) which is control by the lever on the left side of the steering wheel ..now the problem ..the engine starts and run only when the petal is engaged and once I ease off on it the engine stalls and also when I try to engage the deck it stalls too?? my YTH 20-42 is originally suppose to operate with only 2 cable but I'm trying to operate it with 3 ..please help me because I don't know what I'm doing lol johnny

What you are saying makes less than 0 sense .
So whack up some pictures please.
Never heard of or seen a 3 cable set up
2 cables , a choke & a throttle
or
1 cable with the choke as over run on the throttle

Also the make & model of the engines would be handy , White used a lot of different engines over the years.

I hope you're able to view these pictures one cable shows it going from the deck lever to the deck that was a no brainer.. and the other from the lever on the left of the steering wheel to the mechanism on the front lower part of engine and on the upper mechanism I installed a choke cable because I new I had to use the choke to get the engine started..?? I appreciate any help ..Johnny
