Husqvarna SRD 17530 running rich

I just purchased this used, runs well but very rich, lots of strong fumes. Air filter cleaned and I tried some carb cleaner. Any adjustments on carb I can try ? Engine is 17.5 ho Kohler, manufactured 2013.

    Carb has probably been messed with and not re-assembled correctly (probably left a jet out).
     
    Post a model # for the ENGINE so we can bring up a parts diagram.

    It's a build date of around 2012, I can't locate a identification plate on the engine anywhere. Top label says Kohler Pro 17.5 HP OHV

    Nothing on engine to indicate model or serial number , possible previous owner took it of. see photo of engine.

    The carberator is under the air filter.
     
    Pic's of that may help..     Everything you posted isn't helpful..

    Look under the air filter and see if it looks like this:

    Ok, I think this is the carberator you have :
     
    https://www.amazon.com/HQparts-Carburetor-Mower-Kohler-Engine/dp/B08N651MP9 
     
    How to R&R the carb:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0DUKVcJLA0 
     
    Once the carb is off and exterior cleaned, pull off the float bowl. There should be a very slim
    bolt above the solenoid (or part of it).
     
    Once off, check to see if the needle is inserted into the float correctly, (should be visible opening and closing as you raise and lower the float)..
     
    Advise back..
     
    .

    A much smaller carb but same principle:
      
    Bowl, float, needle, etc: 

     
    Float "seam" should be parallel with the carb body when held upside down (if assembled correctly and parts are not damaged or missing)...  Damaged, missing or not assembled correctly and the engine will run stupid rich...  Make sure the choke is also opening (butterfly closest to the air filter)

    I'll check out the carb when I ge home but there is no solenoid on the bottom of the bowl, just a bolt. I'll take off air cleaner and send better photos. thx
