ADJUSTING CARB

Just kidding, but they do say that most carb problems are cured with proper ignition or timing.

The screw on the side is the idle screw, the one slanted toward the front is the power screw. Both are adjusted 1 full turn out from closed to start. The power screw must be adjusted at speed under a load. Run the rpm up to about 1500 and lift a large something and you will get close, or just trial and error. Spitting does sound like timing though, not rich or lean.

How do you define engine sounds on a keyboard.... spitting, sputtering, backfiring, missing, ect...might make a good thread.. ;^}

For me it would be easier to drive the tractor into my den next to my computer than to take everything apart and setup out in the shed. Oh well, just a thought, I will try and settle back down.
