To answer your questions, the exhaust is black and smells with unburned fuel, especially at slow idle. The tractor hardly uses any oil at all, and the compression was around 155-160 on all cylinders. As far as the adjustment screw off the seat on the carb, it has only one adjustment screw, the main fuel jet being on a shut off solenoid that prevents it from dieseling which is unadjustable. It was replaced very recently to see if it was a source of problem. I would have to check to see the setting of the adjustment screw on the carb at the present time. I have tried different settings, none seem to help or hurt the situation. Is there a way to tell if there is an intake manifold leak, or just remove it and check it ? Thanks a bunch !
