kippster said: (quoted from post at 03:52:50 01/16/09) Come to think of it, I do usually have to run the tractor with the choke about 25-30% on to make the engine not miss when it is running. I'll try the ether trick next time I have it started up.
Soooo, everything is NOT 100% as you indicated in your original post...
Having to run choke AT ALL indicates either an air leak or an improperly reassembled carburetor.
Spritz the starting fluid around the manifold where it connects to the engine, around the carb/manifold interface.. If the tractor runs differently then you've found your air leak.
No air leaks? Take that carb apart again. You didn't get something right. Did you put a kit in? Put one in if not. Don't get frustrated with the carb especially if this is your first rebuild. I can tell you from experience that as a rookie you never get them right on the first try. Once you've got one right, you won't notice that you're doing things differently on future rebuilds, but you'll be rebuilding them like an old pro.
