WVHillbilly520H 10,369 #2 Posted April 25, 2017 Bought one for my dad's Cub Cadet 1200(12hp Kohler), looked and functioned like the original just pay attention to the throttle linkage in the photo/description as I had to change that for it to work but I was trying to save an extra $ just cost me an hour of anyway still working as it should after a year, Jeff. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,592 #3 Posted April 25, 2017 Check the throttle and the choke lever orientation. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
classicdmax 190 #4 Posted April 25, 2017 Mine worked fine, had to reclock flag on choke linkage as mentioned. Otherwise no issues 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacer 3,159 #5 Posted April 26, 2017 Yep - choke was the hang up on the 3 I have bought. But with a bit of finagling with the old carbs butterfly/rod it was pretty easy to fix - and the carbs were great, the engines/tractors had sat up for years and the carbs were beyond repair and with the new carbs on they ran like a top. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,863 #6 Posted April 26, 2017 I always buy from eBay seller "cfamily10". His carbs always come with the correct choke linkage and have SAE (American) threads. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
