Kohler Courage SV530 Carb Replacement (Troy bilt tractor mower)

[@beck42071]

YAY. I am a 67 year old female and with the help of your video my mower is now back in working condition. I have the exact same model in your video and while it took me longer than it took you, I couldn't have done this on my own. It's been about 30 years since I worked on any engine, car or mower. I kept walking away. I kept thinking I can't do this. I finally pulled up my big girl panties, dug my heels in and VOILA, this sucker started on the first try after not starting for over 2 years! I'm going to cancel my lawn guy since I am now retired and can mow myself.

Thank you so much! This video helped my dad and I a lot!

[@kapurnicus7891]

Hayden Nestor you’re welcome! Figure if I’m going to take something apart I might as well film it!

[@scotthall4885]

On some.models it is required that the black thing be removed or else the fuel solenoid won't clear the frame of the mower and you can't get the carb off. Also for what it's worth, the "black thing" is dummy proof. If you line the big hole up there's no way you can get it backwards.

[@kapurnicus7891]

Thanks. I have no idea what I’m doing. I just take broken things apart and hope for the best!

Helpful video, thanks.

[@christopherford8727]

How can you order the back plastic part, I can’t find that part anywhere.

[@conradhuard5520]

I have a mower just like yours. The only thing I am not sure of is the linkage connection on the other end , the one opposite tie card end, especialy the throttle cable , What holds it in place and not slide of , Can you help me .Thanks for the good video

[@kapurnicus7891]

I’m so sorry. Sold this one years ago, so I can’t look at what it was connected to.

[@JamesNelson-nn4qz]

I changed mine and now it wants crank wide open and the cable doesn’t do anything to control it

[@ronaldwilliams972]

Dam son I only took off five bolts to get that carb off.

[@tomdecker2185]

Where has this. Mower been run at? A dirt road is a lot cleaner than that engine. No wonder it won't start!

[@kapurnicus7891]

funny enough, it was used to mow the weeds on a dirt road. Stop judging how often I spray it with a hose. The air filter is clean.

[@bobbrock4221]

I can't get mine off. The bottom part where the wire is connected is blocked when I try to remove it.

[@kapurnicus7891]

Blocked by what? It’s been a few years but in my version I remember the carb coming right off. Maybe they added some other supports in later years.

[@whit18]

Take the black piece off behind the carb. The one that he said not to take off. This will allow you to rotate the carb to remove.

[@beck42071]

This comment was PERFECT. I now know to read comments for hiccups as well as watching the video.

[@FlowerGazer]

Hi there, My father and I watched this video and we were wondering if you could tell us what carburetor you purchased from amazon. We would greatly appreciate it.

[@kapurnicus7891]

I can’t seem to find the exact one, but it was very similar to this www.amazon.com/BH-Motor-Carburetor-Kohler-20-853-33-S-Courage/dp/B072K5LY6C/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=sv530+carburetor&qid=1596308816&sprefix=sv530+&sr=8-3

[@FlowerGazer]

Thanks very much.

[@kapurnicus7891]

Jessica Jones happy to help :)

[@yolandafrederick9917]

What year is the mower ? How did you take carburetor off

[@kapurnicus7891]

yolanda frederick hi! I believe it’s a 2015, but I can’t recall. They are probably pretty similar between years. The first 5 minutes or so of the video is me removing the carb. You have to remove the engine cover and the air box to remove it.

[@ellocodeamor1980]

Where did you get it for that money?

[@kapurnicus7891]

Amazon in 2017. YMMV now with supply chains and inflation.

[@kapurnicus7891]

This one is less than $20 and prime shipping. www.amazon.com/dp/B072K5LY6C/
