Donald: You already know the sound it makes when retarded. At the other end it will start to labor when too far advanced. I like to pick a spot midway between the two, and keeping it so it starts, and indeed fires up quickly. Then I go and put the tractor on light work, armed with 1/2" wrench. from there I don't do anything quickly, and may or may not make minor adjustments depending on performance.

This takes practice and you'll find you get better as time goes on. The old guy I learned from said patience was of utmost importance. He made his living rebuilding mainly Farmall gassers.

It was dairy country, so he went back to shop when most farmers were milking their cows, went in and locked all doors, that was engine assembly time. I wonder how many YT rebuilders are that particular?
