Just purchased a very well kept 43 Ford 9n. Ran great on the test drive and while loading my purchase up tried to lower the idle a little which resulted in messing with the fuel flow and air on the carb. After getting it home I have (or at least what I think - cause I'm no mechanic) it burning to rich. A slight sputter occurs while idle and when driving. All the goofing with the carb adjustment hasnt helped, plus I get very very light white smoke when throttled up like its getting to much fuel. I cut back on the carb fuel flow and then end up losing power to much. The plugs look pretty old. She runs great otherwise and my thought was to change the plugs before goofing with anything else. Any insight would be great as it is my first tractor and I am not the most mechanically inclined but am willing to try anything. thanks !

Check to see if you have a white coloring corrosion around your engine head. a small crack there could be the cause " white smoke". only take a second to look!

If it was running too rich, the exhaust smoke would be black, and your plugs would have a sooty black (not wet) residue on the ends. Not the problem you are describing. The standard adjustment on your carb would be to turn the big main fuel adjuster 1 1/2 turns from seated (turned all the way in), and the smaller idle adjuster about 1/2 turn from seated. Do this with the tractor off.

Good luck,
Dan
