Alright I made some headway TODAY! I took the carb off dissassemble it blew compress air but back together. Looked down w/ a little mirror in the intake of the head and same on both sides nice clean. Checked timing again. Put 2 AC C87 plugs from a '78 Chev 350 in. Oldies but goodies. SOB 2 and 3 stayed clean and dry? I take it it needed more of a hot plug. I compared 1 and 4 to a chart and looks to be burning normal. It was hitting everytime so I got it hot to recheck tappet clearance. Had to tighten a little. Also I have a Denny's tubular intake and exhaust manifold and it is welded steel tubes, no defects anywhere nor signs of leakage. Now w/ this manifold it splits out as a Y to the head intakes after the carb. Larger tubes than old. When I swapped old manifold to new I didn't adj. carb or anything. Ran kinda $hitty. I wanted elec. ign. anyway did that a little improvement. Hotter plugs another improvement. Then I disconnected the intake pipe from the carb. Really big improvement in running. I soaked and washed forever when I got the tractor and it ran great w/ old man. but now it needs more air! Seems to be the next alternation! I think with the larger intake and the freeier flowing of exhaust and all the other crap that it was a outdated air intake that just can't handle the demand of something that is new and improved. So now have to find a dry filter and a pipe that goes to carb. I seen it on a MM U before also but how about the vent tube coming from the head? Plumb that to the pipe? Maybe I'll stop by the pulling forum. Kinda long but every little bit helps!
