The carburetor was taken off. The throttle settings are the same as they were before the restoration, so I'd like to not think that the governor is the problem.
I hooked up a new choke rod, and to do so, we had to reverse the choke flap inside the air intake of the carburetor. Could this be affecting anything? It seems like it may not open as far as the previous configuration does.
Next, as I put the gas tank back on, I couldn't remember which way the sediment bowl faced before, however, I remember that the knob on it was towards the right side of the tractor and difficult to get to. The problem is that it catches on the gas tank bracket and won't turn anymore once it's about 3/4 of the way out. Could this SLIGHTLY restricted flow be an issue?
Also, I added another gasket to the gas cap and it makes it REALLY tight and secure on the tank, which I wanted so that it won't leak out when jostled around while driving as it did before the restoration. Could this tightness restrict air ventilation?
There seems to be a good spark...it runs great before it gets into the waviness.
Thanks again for your help. I hope these explanations will further diagnose our predicament.
