Remove the air filter and assembly. Take a picture of the linkages on the carburetor for reference. Unbolt carburetor in one of two locations. One is at the intake pipe and two is the intake pipe from the head. With the carb in your hands you will be able to move it around to get the linkages off. Now it is free and clear in your hands. Take of the intake pipe if still there and the air filter pipe if still there and you will be holding the carb only. NOTE: If there are wires attached to the bottom of the carburetor, disconnect first.

Your PTO safety switch is opening intermittently. Would help if you would always add your model # such as 917.100000 that way I could look up on Sears site and tell you approx. Location of switch.

Will an engine from a LT1000 fit into a LT2000 tractor? Jim
You should have no problem getting the engine from a LT 1000 to fit in place of the original on a LT 2000. The physical space between the two mowers should be identical.

Briggs & Straton 20 HP, two cilinder engine idle speed
Surging is usually caused by a lean condition You can try to turn the mixture screw ccw about 1/4 to 1/2 turn. If this does not solve the problem your carb will have to be removed, cleaned thoroughly, and reinstalled.

Instructions for fixing the choke on a Craftsman LT-1000 lawn tra
I have been hearing alot of this problem. Well it is gravity flow. I just bought a 2002 lt1000 17 hp without a carb the guy was having the same problem so he sent the carb away to get checked out and low and behold it got lost. He waited the summer to see if it would show up but it did not. He got mad and bought a new bigger one. Any ways i am waiting on a new one. Now in my reading these problems i discovered that the fuel line coming out of the tank to the carb is lower. Might be somthing to look at. JIM

Weird under load symptom briggs 17.5
a couple other checks would be to dump the carb resevoir where the float is, water under the float could be accumulated and closing the fuel off, due to density. out here on the farm we never use the gas to the last drop from the can. also the linkage between the motor fan blade, (govenor) might have been connected to the carb incorrectly. or a bad switch interlock on the mower blade.
some briggs motors are hooked wrong straight from the factory, where the throttle linkage is concerned. ( and the little spring is pretty hokey too)
