Troybilt kohler courage 19 throttle linkage
I have a question I put my kohler courage 19 sv590-0024 back on the frame I have it all hooked up and ready all but the oil and gas.. but I didn't unhook my throttle linkage I believe my son in law did therefore I'm not sure how it goes back on. In the attached photo shows the way I have it but when I use the choke lever to move it moves to full throttle but will not spring back.. Is the throttle going to be all messed up now when I go to crank it (hopefully if will crank).. I've looked at youtube videos and still can't figure it out? Also after draining the gas tank and all the oil are there anything important I should do before trying to crank it?? LOL and just to make sure after putting the starter back on will it automatically line up with the fly wheel?? I've come this far by pulling the engine and doing all this work I sure don't want to mess it up..thank you

Re the second pic, the cable isn't adjusted correctly.
With the INNER CABLE fully extended, now tighten the clamp down at the bracket.
The inner cable should now go fully in and out as you move the throttle.

And the starter only bolts on one-way. There's no shims or any adjustments that can be made to it..
If you look up your full engine model # on Jacks parts, you have access to full parts pictures.

I had my gas tank off but hooked it back up connected it all up but I'm not getting fuel to the line that comes out of the tank? that line runs to the fuel filter so i unhooked it and no fuel is in the line.. What have I done wrong?? Since I posted this I blew air in the tank then fuel flows out of the line connected to the tank but when I put it back on the fuel filter which is uphill to the line and try and crank it isn't even getting to the filter or at least there are just a tiny tiny bit in fuel filter? I at a stand still??

The tank is higher than the carb and rest of the lines correct?
There may be a clogged filter inside the tank so you may shoot some carb cleaner BACKWARDS into the tank.
Once that's done, check the fuel system starting at the tank alone. Put fuel in it (and catch it with a small container) and ascertain fuel comes out. Then add the fuel line (perhaps blow thru that as well) and see if fuel flows. Look closely at the fuel filter, there's often an ARROW stamped on it for flow direction. Again, check for fuel flow....
Do you have a fuel PUMP or is it all gravity fed?

I have a fuel pump it fairly new but the motor has been off since about sept just got it back on , I bought a new fuel filter yesterday and flow is right.. I will empty my tank "again" lol and do what you said.. thank you so much Ive blown it out with air compressor and fuel comes out of the line to the filter but when I try and crank no fuel enters the filter? thank you

This man used to work on my mower and everytime I would get it back same old thing so one day the solenoid went out so I decided then Im going to Youtube and try and so this myself I finally got a new carburetor with the solenoid built in or something like that , I put it on it run fine no back firing like before. Then I taught myself how to adjust the valves did that and put new fuel pump everything I could think of replacing.. well this summer it started having oil all over the frame I just knew the crankcase was cracked but I took the engine off myself all but lifting cleaned everything up put a new seal where the clutch is and bought a new I think its called the idler pulley right beside the clutch.. anyway I was ready and have parts to change the crankcase gasket but I decided to wait till I see if it is going to spit oil again.. I think I might have put to much oil in it to begin with.. thankfully I caught the bolts on top of the crankcase that had came loose.. the man that worked on it told me about 4 year ago it was shot and wanted to trade with me bull crap Ive been running it all the time,, actually it has run better since I started working on it myself.. also have a head gasket to put on it needed... A person can do anything if they set there mind to it.. just like pool i taught myself how to shoot and Ive won a lot of tournments.. ha

I did all you said still not getting fuel, I'm so confused.. Could the choke linkage , if not hooked up right cause this? I took a test light and test with key on the starter solenoid, and the fuel solenoid, those tested ok, the fuse is ok. I put the test light on the starter with the key on and it didn't light up not sure I was doing it right just put it on the cable that comes from the battery? do I have to turn the key to almost start position before that will light up? If so no help now.. I have it all ready and it will not start it is trying but I think just not getting gas?? ANY more suggestions?

The solenoid attached to the bottom of the carb ONLY opens/retracts with the key switch ON & while cranking. Turning the key off and on, you should be able to feel and hear that solenoid activating. Please clarify not getting fuel.. No fuel flow out of the tank, fuel line, pump or just thinking no fuel inside the carberator? Cranking the engine over, with the fuel line FROM THE PUMP to the carb disconnected, SHOULD PUMP fuel from it.. Spraying a spritz of starting fluid into the carb and cranking should confirm if your getting fuel or not. The engine will run momentarily. For those bolts that like to loosen up, clean threads with brake cleaner, then use RED LOCTITE. That should keep them from loosening up again.. Lastly, that solenoid sticks closed (no fuel flow) when left to sit with todays crappy fuel. It can often be repaired by simply putting some penetrating oil into the pintail (SP?) and working it in and out. I'll cut the pintail off altogether if it's jambed up, or an electrical issue with no power to it. Just idle down the engine , let cool down some, before turning off the ignition.

the fuel in tank has a good flow of fuel from the tank to the fuel filter (new filter) and that is as far as it goes? Ive took the rest of the fuel lines one at a time off to see if fuel was coming out and its not.. fuel going thru the 1st hose to fuel filter only ? I've blew all the fuel lines out, one by one, blew air in the line that the fuel does come thru and looked in the tank and air is blowing thru the tank hole.. I've never heard the starter solenoid click as long as I have had it BUT if it were to be bad would that cause fuel not to flow thru the lines? When I turn the key I hear the fuel solenoid click.. carburetor is dry as a bone as I have said my engine was completely off and hasnt been started since last sept. I also put new fuel in tank as I had the tank off.. so it has new fuel.. Not sure what a pintail is but I tested the starter solenoid with test light it lite up but I just stuck it in there probably needed to check more than just one thing it touched.. I will say when I was taking everything off the wires that go to the starter and everything else connected such as alternator starter not sure what else but the battery was still hooked up and it sparked around that area, could I have shorted out something?? I then disconnected the battery .. new spark plug. thank you for responding I hope this is clear and to the point of what I need.. thank you

The carb solenoid ONLY stops/allows fuel INSIDE the carb where it seals up the main jet.
Re fuel, if fuel comes out of the tank, the tank is apparently clear. Wherever it stops flowing, say the filter, the filter is clogged. You have to follow the clues.
Sounds like the carb solenoid is fine as your hearing it / feeling it with the on/off of the ignition.
Re accidental sparks. Does the engine spin over like it should when turning the key?

Thank you for responding:
yes the engine wants to start it turns over just like always.. I put a new fuel filter on cause I thought the old one might be the reason fuel wasn't reaching, it is not a Kohler I got it at walmart. I can't figure it out .. if my throttle isn't hooked up right would that cause no fuel issue.. I sure wished I could figure this out.. Ive done everything I know to do..

You could remove all the linkages and if the fuel system is working normally, the engine will run.... Where exactly does the fuel stop flowing? You should have fuel flow to the fuel pump. After that, the pump uses "pulses" from the crankcase to pump up to the carberator.

the fuel stops after the 1st line, fuel comes from tank to 1st fuel line great, then it doesn't go up to the (new) fuel filter. fuel flows great out the 1st line then stops, is there some kind of vaccum that pulls it up, cause it starts uphill there ? I'm trying to take the starter solenoid off, it is so hard to get to its under the frame under the seat. I noticed the starter stayed up on the fly wheel cause I tried turning the fly wheel and it wouldn't turn, so starter I thought was suppose to go back down after the key was in off position.. I'm so stumped

The fuel pump should suck fuel, so that may be bad. Their not terribly expensive and operate using vacuum pulses from the crankcase. You'd have a line IN, a line out(to the carb) and another hose going to the crankcase for the pump.
I suspect your battery may be low so the starter pawl is sticking. Just spray some (a little) penetrant on the shaft / gear where it goes up and down. Don't pull the starter, it's not necessary..

ok thank you i have replaced a fuel pump before so it is easy to do , so the pump pulls the fuel up to the fuel filter then on to pump, then to carb , I will try than next the fuel pump, I thank yall for being so patient with me but I've come this far and I would give anything just to know it will crank, oh by the way I got a new battery , shouldnt have because my battery test good but I thought wth.. I don't try no more than a couple of time to crank , I figure if it is going to crank it would, its trying to... I bet I have the cleanest crankcase than anyone lol, I said it I worked on ppls mower I would have to get all the old oil off someone said well you wouldn't make nothing doing that .. can't help it, I want mine clean, suppose to run better..thanks again
