Answer
Hello Todd:

You can View the Husqvarna Model List at this Site Addy, http://www.partstree.com/parts/ and Click on the Husqvarna Logo. Now Enter the Model Numbers CZ 4817 KOA (968999220)(2002-11) in the Search Box on the Left and Click Go. Now Select the File you Wish to View. Select the IZT File. The Problem you Described is Usually an Internal Probelm with the Control Valve Not Opening Properly. Be Sure to Check the Bypass Linkage and Ensure it is Not Binding and Moving when you Use the Steering Controls. The Bypass Moving will Cause the Problem you Described Also. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck
