Carb Installation

[tiredfarmer]

I am replacing the carb on a D130 John Deere Riding lawnmower. Are there any diagrams or photos to guide me how to reinstall the two rods attached to the carb? Thanks in advance.

Woodcat asked for help with D130 carb linkage a couple of years ago. Search the forums using “D130 linkage“ and “Woodcat” to find it.

Well it is pretty dead simple.

It is getting the governor link into governor lever that is a little bit of a hassle as you mount the intake manifold.


Socket is a E5.

Thank you very much. That is what I needed. A picture is worth a thousand words for me.

I got the mower started. The choke works but the throttle doesn't. It revs to high rpm and I can't change it. The throttle lever moves the choke and moves the butterflies back into run position but that doesn't slow the engine. What have I assembled wrong?

Most likely it is the governor linkage. Check the diagram and make sure you connected the linkage correctly. Is there a spring or springs for the governor? Is it connected correctly? Or, are you missing a spring?

It may need the static governor setting set, But first make the governor arm moves the throttle shaft on the carb.



Everything moving as it should after the adjustment and it still runs away either the carb is on backwards (kinda doubt it) or the governor has failed.

I had the gasket on the air horn backwards. I got it running and the throttle works but it still doesn't idle like it should, or the way I would like. Started the mower and it seemed to have plenty of power and ran well with a load on it. Do I still need to adjust the governor?
