Parts advice

[TMO84]

Picked up a 2001 or 2002 Yard Machines 11A-509A352. It was free and needed some work, including the usual spark plug replacement, filter, rotted hoses, bad oil, pull cord tension, and carb. When I went to remove the carb I accidentally snapped a plastic portion at the top that connected it to the throttle. I'd like to purchase a new one but all of the websites say a carb for this engine go anywhere to $40-60 - however I'm not sure if I am looking in the right place. MTD does not have an official "page" or list of parts for the engine (6.0HP Briggs), just the mower assembly and engine cover. Where can I find a proper resource with parts for this particular engine? Thanks!

Also, here is a picture of black plastic piece I broke (I believe its called the throttle linkage?) Can I just replace this plastic piece?

Thanks again.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the quick response - I did find these manuals (both mower and engine) but none of them give me the part # for the carb or the broken linkage. I wonder if I can input this generic engine into the MTD parts search?

What is the engine brand and number?

Take the carb to the oldest repair shop in your area. The part you need is the throttle shaft and I'll bet they have a dozen of those carbs laying around that they can rob one from.

I second what rivets said.
This is what I would do.
