vern brings up a good point,the spring on the outside of the manifold is for the heatriser and you will definately need this come colder weather,i was out mowing last week when it was in the upper 80"s and she started throwing black smoke on occasion and when i got done you couldn"t hold you hand on the carb it was so cold,had frost buildup on it,between carb and manifold,these things need carb heat ,but i still think i would look into a coil.if it runs good once you get it up to full power,i don"t think the gear timing is off,it would be totally gutless.but also if the valves are too tight ,check valve adj too,when you close the choke your cutting off air,its running too lean,weahter it"s a weak spark or carb adjustment?
