I may be in over my limited small engine knowledge. My 12 year old Husqvarna Z246 with 23hp B&S v-twin starting sputtering and not wanting to run unless choked. Checked and replaced all the simple easy things, fuel, filter, plugs, coils gapped .012", pump etc. This brings me to the carburetor. The issue I'm having is finding the correct carb whether same model number or superseded is none appear to have the linkage connection for the air vane. Shown on upper right. I've never tried rebuilding a carb from a kit. I may try or have to shop it and wait 6 weeks for the shop to get to it. Not a commercial customer.
