25+ year old Troy Bilt lawn tractor with Kohler engine. Throttle shaft seal worn off, linkage tab broken off, & throttle shaft was so worn that it was surrounded with brass dust. It would no longer
1. Removed air cleaner.
2. Removed air cleaner box from the carb.
3. Removed choke & throttle linkages from choke & throttle
4. Removed carb body. This took a little tugging, twisting because the gasket was stuck to both the carb body & intake port. Scraped old gasket of both surfaces.
5. Removed butterfly from throttle shaft.
6. Replaced throttle shaft & seal; reinstalled butterfly on shaft.
7. Installed new gasket. I like to use a thin film of grease on gaskets but maybe that's just me.
8. Repeated steps 4-3-2-1 using "replace" instead of "removed".

I thought my chances of getting replacement parts for an engine this old were about zero. Thanks to eReplacementParts, this old Kohler is running like a top! (It helps, too, that it's a Kohler.)
