From the time you turn the gas off to the time the tractor runs out of gas will be at least 60 seconds. You could get on the seat twice before it dies. :lol: That is how I turn mine off.
You can forget to turn the diesel on and run the tractor for over 25 minutes before it runs out of fuel. Trust me on that one. :oops:
The adjustments are a PITA, but they are necessary. My carb lever thing (the one behind the carb) was welded on and a little rigged up. It took me a good 30 min to get the weld ground off and retapped/hole died (is that a word?) and back on. Adjusting the starting valve clearance was the biggest pain IMO.
I think the starting valves work both ways. Not sure if I said it, but mine will suck the carb dry while I am running on diesel. It DOES NOT run away like yours. Mine will just keep sucking if you leave the gas on. I have not had the covers off the intake manifold. Mine is a little hard starting and that may fix the issue. Mine takes 3/4 choke even in summer.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
