Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
- Craftsman YTS3000 riding mower with matching 21HP Briggs & Stratton engine
- Additional lawn tractors using the identical Briggs engine model-type-code
Product Overview
A YTS3000 that starts only with choke, surges while mowing, floods the crankcase, or dies when the deck is engaged may have a dirty or worn carburetor. Before replacement, check the fuel cap vent, pump or gravity feed, ignition, valve clearance, compression, governor springs, and intake seals.
Craftsman used more than one 21HP Briggs engine in the YTS3000 line, and horsepower is not a carburetor part number. Read the engine model, type, and code from the shroud. Match the mounting flange, bowl solenoid, choke and throttle linkage, fuel inlet, and air-cleaner base.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does YTS3000 alone confirm the carburetor? A: No. Craftsman used different engines; the Briggs model, type, and code are required.
Q: Can tight valves feel like a carburetor problem? A: Yes. Hard starting and poor power can have mechanical causes.
Q: Should old fuel be reused after installation? A: No. Flush contaminated fuel and use fresh gasoline.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
