Briggs opposed twin engine

Hello all,
I have a Husqvarna c42175 zero turn mower with a 17.5 Briggs Intek AVS single cylinder engine on it. It's a 2005 and the engine runs fine but is beginning to smoke a bit and it has a lot of hours on it. I have 18hp Briggs I/C opposed 2 cylinder from a previous lawn tractor type mower. It ran smooth and quiet and started easily.
I only used the mower it was on a couple of times as the deck cracked and wasn't safe to continue to use. Scrapped it and kept the engine. My questions...

HONDA 4518 W/46 DECK PTO BELT INFO

I bought a 105" kevlar wrapped belt following web advice. Install was nearly impossible. I disconnected the tensioner and removed the spring loaded idler pulley on RH side. With force I loaded the belt and replaced the pulley to close it up. However now I cannot reconnect the tensioner, the screw is about 1 inch too short. I haven't determined where to pull or push to make it move enough to reconnect. Pulling on it doesn't work. Question: Was the 105" kevlar 5/8 belt correct? It does work...

Scag deck gear box question

Scag Turf Tiger
M#STT52A
S# 6670107

Engine runs fine. Everything on the deck, spindles and idlers have good quiet smooth bearings. With the exception of the gear box. I can't turn it at all. With the belt off, I engage the PTO, I can't tell if anything is turning or not.

Tomorrow, there'll be people here that'll give me a 2nd set of eyes to see what's going on with the PTO engaged. But for now, just looking for some insight on this problem.

I lost a blade

Yesterday, I started doing some mowing, and noticed that my Husqvarna 48" riding mower wasn't cutting a full "swath". I pulled the deflector up, and the R/H blade was Missing. A couple of days, prior, I used the rider to cut some tall. knee high weeds at the edge of the yard, and suspect that the blade flew off in that area. I walked all over that area, and couldn't find the blade....and I can't understand how something so Major could happen without noticing a big "bang" or some other...

How to make Honda HRA214 carb's throttle spring back to idle

OK, I give up. I removed and cleaned the carb, and after reinstalling it, the throttle plate does not rotate back to the idle position even when the throttle lever is at idle. It is basically at full throttle no matter what position the lever is in. I am almost certain it isn't the position of the throttle cable as the off switch works when the lever is pulled to STOP and the choke engages when the lever is pushed to FULL. I can't figure out what spring or other mechanism is supposed to make...
