I went out this morning to start again. Set the choke halfway and it fired right up, but sputtered. I had to open the choke all the way for it to run smooth. My first thought was that one of you guys had come by my place during the night and fixed the problem for me. Then I realized that the carb elves had probably done it while I slept. I drug my muddy driveway for around 45 minutes when it started to run bad. Set the choke down half way and it smoothed out. Dang carb elves! I pulled the carb and hung the top part from the manifold. Made sure I had good, steady flow from the gas line. Same with the screen filter in the carb. I hooked everything up to the top section of the carb and had a very weak flow from the float valve. I took the filter back out and removed the valve seat. Washed the passage out with some gas from a bottle. A flake of rust just big enough to cover the inlet of the valve seat came out. I mumbled things about the tractor not knowing who it was messing with as I reassembled the carb. A new tractor didn't need to be messing with me! Apparently, it did know who it was messing with, as it would only run with the choke half closed. I didn't check to see if the flow was better out of the float valve before I put it all back together. Guess I'll start there tomorrow.

He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
