$17 : Dear Sir: I have an old John Deere Lawn mower (STX38) with ...

I need some parts for the carburetor, as the governor does not open the butterfly enough when putting in full trottle, and boggs down when engaging my blades. It is an old engine, but have never had any problems until now. I need to know the part # XXX the carberator. The Old carburetor has the number LMK201532 on it if that means anything. How can i see the pictorial of the carburetor parts list, if that is possible? Can you help me get a carburetor or parts to fix it. the John Deere part number is XXXXXXXX if that helps. I will be standing by. Thanks XXX XXXXXX Lexington, NC

Other than removing the bolts, brackets and set screws you may need a pulley puller. You can buy them at your local auto parts store. It basically has three or four arms that grab the sides of the clutch and/or pulleys and a center bolt that pushes against the shaft. Turning it in will pull with equal force.
