It should connect on top of the idler pulley on the idler arm. The bolt is extended and the spring hooks over it with a 'hairpin' or cotter key through the hole in the end to hold it on.

10 year old Craftsman Lawn Tractor recently bacame hard to start. Appears to flood when cranking. Can start by removing air filter. Runs fine once started. I just have to remove the air filter each time to start. Any suggestions on what to check? I have cleaned the air filter and changed spark plugs without improvement.

The trasmission on my craftsman Ys 4500 will not engage. all the belts are working the engine works fine. I took off the tires and have it on blocks. When I use forward the axle barely moves, same with reverse. However I can stop the axle with two fingers. When it is engaged the mower still is free wheeling without any issue (axle does not get engaged to prevent free wheeling)
