Cub Cadet Kohler Courage SV740 Carburetor Replacement, GTX 1054 

Mower Mike its always great to see your how to vids, we truly enjoy the way you explain everything so easily. Really great shots of the work you were doing also 👌

Thanks. I appreciate you zooming in on the carb attachments

Great video. Walked me through it, just finished replacing on my SLTX1054. Fired right up. Thanks!

The carb that you got that you say is wrong will fit. The reason they list it as the replacement is because it is a non emissions carb and adds mixture adjustment. It will bolt right on. There will be a bullet connector further up on the red wire you can disconnect and connect to the carb solenoid. The black wire gets cut and a Ring terminal gets put on and you ground it to the top of the carb. Just did one a couple days ago.

If you had just showed me your Astros hat at opening I could have given you a thumbs up immediately. Mower people should not keep secrets.

Appreciate the easy to follow video. Just wish I could get my freakin' mower to run. Wouldn't start, so I replaced the carb, fuel pump, both spark plugs and it's still just spinning and not firing up 😢

This video plus the comments section was far better than anything I could have found online. Brand new “Asian” made carb fixed my surge and gas smell. Killed two birds with one stone and cleaned out a rats nest under the engine cover, left over from the previous owner.

Thank you! Was good n a bind with this carb and this did the trick!!

Great video. Just replaced carb on RZT. Thanks.

Changed the carb on mine Thanks for the video it really helped

I have a similar engine with a 24hp in a cub cadet. I left ethanol fuel in it for over two years and my neighbor came and took out the carb and soaked it. He said the inside of the carb looked like new. New fuel pump and filter also. Ran great for 3 months but now when I start it, it runs great for 45 seconds and then dies like the gas is shut off. I poured some stabil fast fix into the throat and it ran for 3 minutes before it died. Not sure where to go from here but I guess I may be buying a new carb soon!

Thanks!

What size socket do I need to remove the airbox. I have tried everything from a 10mm all the way down to a 4mm and I can't make anything fit

I'm just curious, why does the second gasket, the one on the air intake look like it's not the right one? Starts at 11:48 to 12:31 when you put the air filter box on. I have a sv715-3036 courage and my carb is the one in the middle of the three lined up. It looks like you used the gasket from the middle carb on the carburetor you installed. I only noticed because I'm replacing mine today.

Do you have any recommendations on what to do if you replace the carb and the mower still won’t turn over? The battery is new too, and I’m running out of ideas. Any advice would be appreciated!

Does anyone know of a good aftermarket carb for sv735s kohler 26hp engine? link?

Thank you for this video! It turns out i"m hosed because the only replacement carbs that are allegedly compatible have the single plug rather than the double. I can't find a compatible carb with the correct plug. Arghhh.

Had a leaky breather hose from my fuel pump to the valve cover. Took off the valve cover and gas poured out. Could a faulty carburetor cause this? I changed the fuel pump but haven't hooked up the fuel line yet as I don't want gas filling the engine

Thanks for the Video 👍

I know this was a long time ago but do u still have the single wire carb?

Thanks for sharing,....👍😎✌️

Is there any adjustment needed once the new carb goes in? My engine surges a bit at low idle and dosnt seem to have enough power at hi throttle

Apparently it didn't make a difference but you put the second gasket on backward. Did you fix it off camera or did it work anyway?

Have carburetor number on it of 3205308 71bzaj, keep seeing number 3285308s. Is this the same unit

I'm going to go grab some whiskey too. Best idea all day.

This video was a lot of help, I have the same setup on my Husqvarna but I need to know, the fuel intake is at an angle, is there any way to turn it that so it points down? I really don't want to try and turn it and have it shear off. Is there a way to loosen it? It really pinches the fuel line and it doesn't sit right in my air cleaner housing. Also, do you know where I can find that air filter housing? Thanks for any help on this.

You rock!

hey Mike id ordered the wrong carb just like you did and went ahead and ordered the Chinese you showed in the video, does it comes with floater as well?

329$ for a carburetor damn that's gold, man are highway robbery.

Hi Mike, Success!! I installed my first carb despite the annoying fuel tank removal (Kohler Courage 2011 Cub). Even located the tiny black clip-on linkage. Would not have seen it if you had not given a heads-up in your video. Had to put on an extra pair of eyeglasses though. Fuel no longer drains out through air filter and breather hose, BUT engine still runs slow, rough, surges and sputters. If blades are engaged, there is extreme loss of power, then slowly dies. Had to cut one section of lawn before rain started so I kept engine on choke and was able to barely make it through the task. The mower drank up a whole tank of gas instead of 1/3 tank. !$@%&?/!. Can't find fuel leak anywhere and don't notice the smell of escaping gas. Any suggestions about other items I might check. Spark plugs, gas filter, air filter are NEW. Fuel pump runs fine. Engine starts easily. No smoke, plugs dry. I have always had to use Seafoam or Mechanic In A Bottle. The 2011 Kohler engines are hateful. Never been able to get them to work without an additive. Could my new carburetor be a lemon?? Thanks in advance for your advice and Happy Friday the 13th! Wow, come to think of it maybe that's the problem!!!

how has the carburetor held up? Great video

absolutely i need a new carburetor

Did you put gasket #2 on backward?

Is there away to rig the one wire carb up they sent me the wrong one as well ..this one wire on the bottom does it hook to the green

What about engine surge in a rzt l 54. Kohler 7000 engine. I replaced the plugs, fuel filter. Oil and oil filter, air filter. Carb was replaced 18 months ago then it sat till last week. Seems the throttle cable / linkage is not controlling the governor properly

What tool removes 2 air box screws

Aye lemme get that one that's wrong for yours! Its a perfect fit for this 26hp V twin Kohler I'm working on lol In the relm of Honda 3 wheelers, Chinese carbs are like AIDS. What I do, I buy the one from Amazon for 20 bucks, I gut it, and rebuild the OEM carb with the parts from China, with the exception of the jets, i clean the originals and reinstall them. Maybe cause they're Japanese or something, they run like garbage with Chinese parts. But not lawnmowers for some reason. They seem to work great hahah

What brand of carb do you go with?

Yeaaaaa" 💥🛠

ROFL Mower Nuts!

Did you shoot your compressor?😳

Where the link to the correct Chinese carb?

Dude ! Clean your ole nasty air box before reassembling!😆
