Just purchased another Husqvarna YTH150, Serial# 051099D002889, ID# 95414007J, Product# 954-14-00-07
I will list the problems and hope someone has experienced similar issues:
Red and Black wires broken off carb. bolt that holds the carb. bowl on. I have never seen a carb. bolt with wires on it, very strange, no idea what that is???
2nd problem, the seat kill switch harness is missing the wires that are supposed to connected... I than found two green wires connected together with a wire nut... my guess, those two green wires are supposed to be hooked up to the safety kill switch under the seat...
3rd problem, fuel leaking around the seam of the fuel tank... any suggestions..?
I'm mostly concerned about finding the carb. plug solenoid if it's still available or can I bypass that plug with a regular carb bolt...
Thanks again!
Anthony

This may help, the engine is a kohler, Model CV15S, SERIAL # 28343C54C3.
I learned today that the fuel solenoid is no longer available to buy so the entire carb. has to be replaced.
Looks like I need part# 12853139-S.
Can't find it yet... all I know is the carb. eliminates the useless fuel solenoid. Any thoughts on where I can find the carb for a good deal?
Thanks!!

Firstly replacing a EPA compliant carb with a non EPA compliant carb can lead to massive fines.
Second solenoids are available for just about every carb.
Check the aftermarket parts suppliers.
Stens do a dozen or more solenoids .

Not in the US outside of California. A consumer can do almost anything because we are exempt just repair shops have that problem.

Sounds like you are working on the same junk I work on, I will tell you what I do and you do what you want . On the fuel solenoid I remove it and cut the stem with the rubber point off with cutting pliers and use it as a bolt like you wanted to buy. It must be junk anyway or you wouldn't be asking. The fuel tank stem, I cut it off flush with the tank bottom and drill the hole to 1/2 inch and use a bolt in style tire valve with the core removed. Stiff piece of wire long enough to go through the tank out the bottom drilled hole and pull it home, put the nut on, the thread on it act like a barb fitting. The seat wire twisted together is causing what problem ?

With the seat switch wired together you can get off the mower while the blades and engine is going and kill or mame yourself or word someone else. This is in my opinion the only really needed safety switch. I don't care if you kill or mame yourself it is the someone else that should be taken into consideration.

This web page will show the part number and price of a new seat switch, page D scroll down to D29 $10.25 http://www.ereplacementparts.com/husqvarna-yth-150-954140108b-199911-ride-mower-parts-c-114486_117796_118100.html

Hi Bert : We only enforce two laws in the US , 1 No beer in the boat 2 and If you dont mow your yard they will mow it for you and put the bill x two on your property taxes. And You thought it was the time change and the election that had them upset LOL

I wanted to respond to everyone's post.
Thank you for everyone's input.
As far as changing carburetors, keep in mind the fuel solenoid is useless and I don't believe it has anything to do with emissions.
I have really dove into this project and would like to share some new info.
I was able to get the tractor running. However it runs like crap. It will only run with the choke on and it screams high idle style.
This is a real piece of junk. I've been out of work for sometime and I am pretty handy. I enjoy wrenching on all kinds of power equipment. I would like to strongly suggest not to buy any older husqvarna equipment.
I was told from a local power equipment shop that I will NOT be able to replace the fuel solenoid. Replacing the carb. is the only option. I cleaned the carb and tried to salvage the broken solenoid and just use it as a big bolt to hold the carb bowl on but the tractor runs awful.
I was able to re-install the wires that were wire nutted together under the seat back on the kill switch.
Nightmare of a machine, never again!

I ordered a new carburetor for the tractor. I installed the carburetor and the tractor started. The problem now is the idol is superhigh and the governor seems to have a problem. Does anyone know the procedure on properly adjusting the governor and or the idle for this particular tractor.
