BOB or DELL

My soninlaw told me to put it back together and on the tractor and then spray some carb clean on it while its running to see if it changes running at all to find the leak..... ...HELP.

I asked you to define "rough running".

And this offended someone for some reason so much that our charming webmistress, Kim, felt she had to delete my post?

Remember, your M/S idle mixture is BASSACKWARDS; out for lean, IN for INRICH.

I like to recommend WD-40 as a temporary leaking intake manifold sealer. WD-40 is non-flameable. Leaky manifold gaskets only show up at near idle speed. At fast engine rpms, the leaks can't lean out the mainjet enuff to make rough running.

Sparkies really do make for rough running, specially at higher rpms ..... .Dell

I"m confused though if bottoming out the idle screw won"t kill the engine then how does it even effect adjustment? Your supposed to start with it one full turn out right? Well I turned it all the way in to seat and all the way out ..... .completely out ..... had it in my hand and the engine was still running the same.

So now what do I do..... ..Think it still is the sparkies?

Like I said before. I didn"t change any of the parts in the kit except for the gaskets because they all looked fine under close inspection.
