Once you pull the belt guard off access is actually very reasonable. That carb is actually pretty easy to remove all things considered, just pop the air intake hose off, the throttle and choke linkages, then there's 2 bolts that hold it on, one short one and one long one that goes through all the way to the top of the intake manifold, once those are off you can sneak it right out of there. If it just suddenly stopped running it could very well be the anti-dieseling solenoid if your carb still has it, it's on the back side of the carb. Lots of times people just take these out and put a plug in its place. One of my machines has one, the other doesn't and the one without will diesel a little bit after shutdown if it's running lower octane fuel, I find running a high octane fuel cures that problem. Hope this helps!</blockquote>
