The mower would only run for a few seconds. It would rev up and die over and over. If it did run for long enough to start mowing it would eventually bog down and die. I took the motor apart to clean it. I think I've solved the problem, but am unsure of how the linkage goes back together. Do you know where I can find a carbeurator and linkage diagram for a Craftsman Eager-1, Model 917.380542?

I took my carb off to clean as well and forgot which one of the holes to use on it when putting back together.

I found these pages - http://www.angelfire.com/mb2/visitme/mower/tecumseh.html

But I am still struggling to get it right. the throttle is not moving the throttle lever assembly (shutter in carb)

Any help would be appreciated

I have the same issue but the Sears site did not help! What is the other site you mentioned cholbach? Much appreciated!

Go to www.sears.com, click on parts, and then lawn mowers. You can type in the model number and look-up the diagram. If that does not work, let me know and I can give you another site.
