Dave,

Don't do that; you really have to be on top of things for that method to work.

Do this and I guarantee you it will clean that tractor out and make it run like a new one:

1. Go to your local GM dealer and get a can of liquid "Top Engine Cleaner". Don't buy the "injector cleaner" type, but the fluid type. It will cost something like $12 a can.

2. Get the tractor hot as you can by working it a little.

3. Set the tractor at about 1/3 throttle

4. Use a spray bottle of some such thing with it set to "stream" so that you can 'feed' this stuff into the engine via the carb.

5. Feed this into the carb as fast as you can. The engine will start to smoke, fact is your neighbors will think you're tryin' to burn the house down, keep feeding it all you can, as fast as you can without killing the engine until you are down to about the bottom third of the can.

6. Finally, kill the engine by 'flooding' it with the remainder of the contents.

7. Let the tractor set over night.

8. In the morning, start the tractor, take it out on the road and run it up the road in road gear just as hard as it will go until the smoke clears up.

I have saved hundreds of engines in this way. Cleans that combustion chamber up clean as a whistle until you'll swear you own a new tractor.

Just my 2 cents,

Allan
