Default 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.

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

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

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
