I have a 2009 LA 105 John Deere Riding Mower Briggs Model 31P677 Type 0140B1 with a 19.5 HP engine The engine runs decently under load at 3/4 to full throttle. However, in no load neutral or low speed the RPMs are too high I attempted multiple times to adjust the idle screw with no improvement. Please advise.

The manual enumerates that the carburetor is non adjustable. However the Nikki carburetor has a main jet plus low speed idle screw. The Manuel mentions a carburetor computerized setting. Please advise.

Are you using a tachometer to check the idle speed or just going by ear? The spec'd idle speed is 1750 rpm.
Here is the adjustment procedure (must use tachometer).
Also if it is a Nikki then the 796184 carburetor repair kit is listed at $58.00. And 591734 complete carb is listed at $119.00. An after market repair kit is dirt cheap for this carburetor.

Additionally, I have been gauging the RPM by ear since I have no RPM measuring device. However after 40 years of working on small engines a racing engine appears obvious.I will try bending that spring tang for low RPM adjustment.Thanks

It getting to where a tach is necessary on these smalls engines especially on the Briggs v-twins and many of the handheld equipment to tune the carburetor.
But if the engine is racing off load then it is likely either a static governor adjustment problem, a failed governor, or a weak/missing governor spring..

if you have a smart phone I think they make an Engine RPM app that analyzes the frequency.
I use one of these on small engines https://www.amazon.com/Briggs-Strat...ocphy=9032549&hvtargid=pla-320880335015&psc=1

Do you or anyone out there have a suggestion for a reliable, durable, quality aftermarket carburetor? The OEM Briggs replacement AUC 11044 has a non fitting solenoid connector.

First AUC11044 is a John Deere part number for the Briggs 591734. You paying JD markup on the Briggs part. Search using 591734 will come multiple after markets carburetors; just no guarantee they will be right operating wise as many after market are junk.
I do have a couple questions. What is the problem with the connector? Did the old carburetor had just an one wire connector? If so you do need install the upgraded connector for the two wire solenoid as Briggs did away with the one quite some time ago. The new harness may need some mods to be installed. Here I make up my own but I have the necessary electrical on hand along with the correct crimper.
