I bought an H to mow our horse Pastures it came with a pull behind mower and got the whole mess for $1100.00 was really pleased, Got her home and pleased turned to "Oh Crap", Rough running and Puking oil smoke, Well me being me went to work trying to remedy some problems, Went on here to find some answers and found what I was looking for.
Started with the carb, disassembled and a good cleaning went to put it back together and utoh a part was missing the cone shaped nut that holds the idle tube had got legs and left for parts unknown, wondering what to do ended up at Lowes in the bolt dept and found a plastic nut that fit and put the carb on started and found an improvement in the way it ran though not able to fine tune for smooth running, Next new plugs old ones were really oil fouled, Put in d-15 plugs and again an improvement though am wondering about putting d-21 plugs in to help burn off the oil any thoughts on that, Next into uncharted territory for me the magneto, took it apart far enough to get to the points and noticed the old dead grease someone had put around the two gears opps removed the gears with out marking for reffrence, Thanks to some very smart folks on here was able to get it back together on the first try and timed right the first time, and finally adjusted the valves boy were they out, stuck .032 under two of them, anyway got them all set to .017 bolted stuff back up and started, Big Butt Smile, was running like a tractor that wanted to work.
Want thank all that posted on different threads with their knowledge, it sure helped out.
And now a couple of questions, What do you think about running a hotter plug because of the oil, Where might I look for the nut that holds the idle tube, I suspect since gas drips off the plastic nut I used until running that it is sucking air as the fuel stops dripping.
