I had the carb off of my 6U a couple of times recently. After fighting with the nuts, I removed the governor to get to the outside bolt. Cat did not make it a user friendly job. Crows foot wrenches are needed for the inner nut. Fun, fun ,fun! Grant.
The easiest way I found was bonnet off, governor off a couple of different brands and types of spanner/wrench and wedge them in to make it happen, 1/4 or 3/8 drive socket if inner nut is tight next to mag, it will only crack it then go back to spanner/wrench, the linkages are reasonable to access, yes a few harsh words the first time around then its not to bad there after.
I did find some rebuild kits for the 10hp pony one ebay

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality
cat still have gasket kits for those carbs.
ours needed new butterflies too.
check the choke and throttle shaft bores for play if loos either have them machined for bushes or add a o-ring to each end to make a seal the wear can be a cause of hard starting.
the best way to clean them is to sonic bath them. it's worth the $ at the local mower shop to get it done.

Remove the 2 screws that hold the bowl on, and gently pull the fuel bowl horizontally as mentioned earlier. You can see the corroded long brass jet tube that connects the bowl to the carb in my photo (photos posted in reverse order) I had to replace my jet, it was toast, the jet is still available. Once all cleaned up and all passages cleaned, (there are good posts in the forums on how to clean the passages) I reattached the carb body and then reattached the fuel bowl right on the starting engine.

I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
