When I started this project from Hades, one of the first things I did was remove the fuel tank and make sure it was clean. That is a real pain as this is a zero turn and I have to remove the entire left side of the mower. But to answer your suggestions everyone of them I have completed. I even...

Bought one with the carb. I only run pure gas no ethanol here.

Brand new air filter/cleaner.

You are correct! It is not a Courage model, It is a Command model. I made a mistake. I knew it was the command series, but for some reason my brain made me type Courage. That happens to me a lot. Especially on my cell phone. cp

FastCut HYDRO DRIVE ZTR SERIES 0 Model No. 5091000 ZT18440KH. But this manual is just a shortened version of my service manual. I need an exploded view od the Kohler engine CV-493. I found one but it doesn't show linkage connection points.

Can anyone send or post pictures of the choke and throttle linkage connections? Also the bottom governor spring connection point on a Kohler CV493 engine. I need to double check I haven't connected them incorrectly. I forgot to take pictures myself and the repair manual does not show them.

Yes to Snapper, yes to higher than fuel pump and carb just barely. It actually pulls from the bottom of the tank through the tubing up to the top of the tank and then down to the pump.

No, it also is or was used on Snapper branded mowers which is now a part of Ferris I believe. It is a 18hp Kohler Courage motor. B&S bought it all in 2004 so technically it is all part of Briggs.

Here are the pictures of the new Stens carb. 520-118 to replace the original 12-853-117-S. The gaskets included with the carb do not have any openings for the two small holes you can see in picture one. The second picture has a recessed port 1/4 inch inside the casting so there is no way to...

Here is what I know based upon my service manual. Kohler CV493-27523. I purchased the mower used. I cannot find anything on the engine block or on any housing on the motor. The Kohler label peeled of in pieces 3 or 4 years ago. Also I was wrong on my earlier post this one uses the cam powered...

Single cylinder and the plug is very wet. You can see fuel standing in the air intake body. When it drys out it will start up again. Then same thing over and over.

Thank you for your suggestions. I have done all the following, all fuel lines have been replaced, new filter, tank removed and cleaned, flywheel removed and head area fins cleaned out, flywheel key replaced, new coil, new everything electrical replaced. I have even washed the engine block...

I am on my 4th carburetor trying to stop my Kohler engine from flooding. I have purchased the cheapo carbs and progressively bought a better one each time. This last one is a Stens 520-118 to fit the Kohler CV493 engine. I have also replaced the fuel pump 2x. Nothing I do seems to help or stop...
