Thanks Glen,
I assume you are basing the two bags on the height? I didn't know if this would be preformed for the cleaner or just be a mass of steel fiber? I am getting a carb kit for the TSX-769 as well. I've read the recent posts on clean, clean, clean, don't use anytihng metal in passages. Tractor bible recommends fishing line. Should I just change the jets, needles, etc. or inspect the old ones first.
I ran the tractor for about half an hour Friday, started missing. Put old coil on and thought it ran better, but in short order it died. I thought it might have something to do with driving over a pile of dirt I was dragging into the pasture, pretty steep and pulling wheelies a bit. Last time it died it was on flat ground and would not start. Checked spark at coil, looked ok/marginal (jumping 3/16" gap), checked spark at plug, looked ok. Pulled air cleaner bowl and cleaned. Pulled air pipe off cleaner so it bypassed the cleaner all together. Still nothing. Had good flow to carb as I checked by pulling carb drain, and when I choked it I got fuel out the air side of the carb. Still nothing. I was jumping off a 12V battery so I was getting plenty of spin. Pulled plugs and put a little gas in each cylinder. Still didn't fire, but with good spark I got frusturated and pulled the air cleaner and carb. Took both apart and am cleaning/rebuilding to put back on.
I know timing is the only other thing to worry about and given the off and on nature of the problem, didn't figure I had jumped a tooth.
Sorry for the long post. The old fiber I removed was from my first effort some 17 years ago. Used fabric from furnace filter. Didn't remember where I got that idea, but when I called the local New Holland dealer, they said it was what they recommended because they couldn't find a supplier for the other. Probably used it last time on their advice. I've got a manual and have read and better understand the carb, initial settings, etc.
I know tired engine, lack of compression can act this way as well. I am sure this is no substitue for checking compression, but it seemed to pull a pretty good vacuum when I put my hand over the air intake.
Thanks,
Chris
