Carburetor Carb For Husqvarna 6021P Lawn Mower with Kohler Courage XT6 149CC

What It Is

This is a replacement carburetor for the Husqvarna 6021P lawn mower powered by the Kohler Courage XT6 149cc engine. It meters fuel and air into the engine for combustion, typically needed when the mower won’t start, runs rough, or stalls.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Direct fit for: Husqvarna 6021P with Kohler Courage XT6 149cc engine (model SV150-60217).
• Check before buying:
  • Confirm your engine model (stamped on the valve cover or shroud).
  • Measure mounting bolt spacing (typically 2.5" center-to-center on this engine).
  • Verify gasket shape matches your intake manifold – some aftermarket carbs have slightly different gasket ports.
  • This is an aftermarket part, not OEM Kohler (OEM part # is often 24-853-07-S).
• Not compatible with: Husqvarna models using Briggs & Stratton, Honda, or other Kohler engine variants (e.g., XT650 or XT775).

Key Things to Know

• Quality variance: Aftermarket carbs often work well but may need minor adjustments (idle speed screw or float height) out of the box.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate – you’ll need to remove the air filter housing, fuel line, and throttle linkage. Watch for small springs and clips.
• Common gotchas:
  • The fuel bowl gasket may be thin – check for leaks after first run.
  • The included spark plug or fuel filter (if any) is usually low quality – reuse your originals.
  • Old fuel in the tank will clog the new carb quickly – drain and replace with fresh gas.
• Tools needed: Socket set (usually 8mm and 10mm), flathead screwdriver, needle-nose pliers.

Should You Buy It

If your Husqvarna 6021P has a clogged or failing Kohler XT6 carb and you want a budget fix, this is a solid choice. It’s not OEM quality, but it’s cheap enough to try before replacing the whole mower. Best for DIYers comfortable with basic engine work and minor tuning. Skip it if you want a guaranteed plug-and-play solution or if your engine model is slightly different.
