I took my carb off of my ltx1842 (18hp OHV vert shaft) and now I can't get the linkage hooked back up. There is an aluminum L shaped arm with an elongated loop bent in it that seems to hook up to the throttle but I am lost LOL. Any pictures like I should have took laying around?:confused2:

Let me repeat a post from another thread that might just get you the help you need. Please follow it.


Since this is a help forum, it is only fair that the people trying to answer questions have some information to work with, so they can give an accurate answer. This helps them if they need to research parts or service information on your engine or equipment. In the first part of your post please include your engine numbers from the ID tag or stamping and the equipment type and model numbers that are on it. Failure to do this may result in you not receiving any accurate help with your problem.

Many of the tech's that hang out here work in or have there own shops and the first thing they do when they make up a work order on a unit is include the engine and equipment numbers on the work order. Since this technical forum is offered free to the public, it's the least we can ask you to do, so please help all of us out. *So please post the numbers in the new topic before you start to ask your question. It should be the first thing you write before beginning your question. :D

And I don't know why you felt to begin with "let me repeat a post from another thread", like I have read evey post on here before I asked LOL. I know there are some annoying people on threads but lets not assume I'm one.

You are going to have to post engine details and not tractor details.
Sounds like a Briggs model.
Need model, type and code.
It will be on the blowerhousing or rocker cover.

if you scroll down to one of the posts it has a dropbox link.
Its a manual for your engine. Look up the carb.

Apologies its not your engine. I didnt notice vanguard which is different to yours.

Wow, wow, wow, I have done this for to long and NEVER assume anything. The service manual listed below should give you the linkage you are looking for. As long as you are assuming that I don't know what I am asking for, then you should understand that I don't know anything and I just like to have posters look up info which makes no sense. Bye.

That wasn't it either. An look at your post to me. The second one in this thread and tell me you didn't sound annoyed that I didn't know to put the model, type, and code. That isn't the right link either. Thanks for your help and I hope you don't take this as an argument because its not. You know more than me obviously because I got on here to ask a question and you stepped up to answer. Sorry you took my post as a smartass remark.

:smile: That is a choke-a-matic system. That rod that you described is you choke link. The loop end slides into the slot on the bracket control and the z end is hooked to the hole in your choke shaft arm.
