    Craftsman lawn tractor won't start
    I removed the carb and cleaned it out. Now I can't remember how the 3 little linkages connect. Two I fugured out, but the other one has me baffled. It's about 4 inches long and one end looks kind of like a paperclip. I'm pretty sure it connects to the throttle linkage somehow. My mower is a craftsman 917.288033
    With a 17.5 hp intek engine. Any ideas?
