Does anyone have any experience with the transmitions on a ZTS 7500 zero radius lawn tractor. I'm trying to fill or check the transmissions as I am having a problem with the left side. Manual shows nothing as does thier online schematic.

Hi arindfleisch1;

Have you had a chance to try the above suggestion, and if so Is your mower running any better? If you do not find water in the bowl and everything else checks out ok there is a good chance that the carberator needs to be rebuilt! My mower needed a carberator rebuild at around five years old, with similar symptoms as yours. Please keep us posted.

Under the carburetor should be a round metal bowl with a bolt in the center. Place a container under this bowl, have an assistant standing by to hold the float up when bowl has been removed to avoid draining fuel tank. Remove the center bolt while holding the bowl, then quickly pull the bowl straight down, lift float, drain the bowl contents and wipe the bolt, gasket, and bowl with a paper towel. Blow through the hole in the bolt then reinstall the gasket, bowl and center bolt. Visually check what was in the bowl for water droplets, etc that would prevent proper operation!

My snowblower - Craftsman 917.881061 - has a choke control lever on top of the panel that needs to be removed to access the spark plug. How do you remove it??????????
