John,
I pulled the air filter and intake pipe off (everything was open, no clogs) and while idling, placed my hand over the carb inlet. It sucked my hand right to it and scared the crap out of me. :lol: With my hand still over the inlet, the tractor sputtered out and died, like I expected it to.
I didn't try spraying any starter fluid after that.
Chadd,
You're not sounding smart, and I gather you had that happen? I'm sure it's happened to others so why wouldn't you ask?
The venturi was in it when I pulled it apart, and I put it back in when I reassembled it both times. I am pretty sure the smaller end was pointing up towards the manifold when I took it apart, and I made sure to put it back that way upon reassembly. The small end did seem to be loose in the throat, I assume it's supposed to be that way.
I put a brand new gasket on the carb to manifold mating surface. I made sure both surfaces were clean and smooth before installing it as well. I used a razor blade to get the old gasket off and it didn't get hung up on anything, so I'd say that was smooth enough.
Also, I've never had to use the choke to get any power, only to get it started when it's cold.
From what both of you have mentioned I'm going to assume I have the newer non-adjustable solenoid.
I agree with the vacuum leak theory as well, but I'm sure not seeing where it is and why it just suddenly appeared.
