Aftermarket Carburetors
 

PO installed an aftermarket carb on my 126. And used a small cheap spring on attached to it and the fuel line clamp to tension it. Well that obviously isn’t a long term solution, and I’m hoping someone here can shed some light on how to do this a little better. I’d prefer to use the carb they installed but am open to other options. (In the picture I took the spring off the carb but you should still get the idea)

I have seen many with springs on the throttle control. It should not be there. A good sign that the governor has a problem. Hopefully it just need adjusting or the tab may be broken internally. Download the kohler service manual on this site and it will show you how to reset the governor and what the linkage to the carb looks like.

What part on partstree is the tab your referring too?

Thanks,

Governor cross shaft tab. Use the cub cadet parts lookup.Click on the top of the banner page.

Tab is definitely broke off, is the part number KH-231355/KH-231355-S? When I punch that in Google it doesn’t looks quite right

Drop the KH and then try the search.

A-235256-s

This is what I am trying to find a replacement for

You will have to take the whole engine apart to replace that. It is what it is. Hopefully your cam or governor gear did not get damaged.

I’m not doubting you, but why do I have to tear it all the way down to replace it?

Also any idea on the P/N for it? Because Google gives me something different

First part in, last part out, the valves do not have to be removed. You may be able to keep the piston and rod in but if I remember you may not be able to remove the crank all the way then. The part is number was given by goggley eyes...some vendors above may have one in stock.

Read the service manual that is free. https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/c...ervice+Man.pdf
