I noticed that after clearing my fuel line, my tractor seemed to sputter a little bit while idling.
I read though my Super C manual, and it described how to set the idle screw. I turned the idle screw all the way in, then backed it out one full turn, per the instructions. I screwed in the throttle stop screw a little bit so it would not stall at slow idle speed.
I closed the throttle all the way and backed out the throttle stop screw to slow down the slow idle speed to a reasonable level. I also tried adjusting the idle adjustment screw, but no matter how I adjusted it, it would not idle smoothly.
The manual says that a small adjustment of the idle screw should let it run smoothly, but I could not get it. I eventually set the idle screw about one half turn shy of all the way in, and I had to choke the tractor a little bit to get it to run smoothly. Once choking it, it idled smoothly and ran better, but without the choke, it will not run smoothly.
I assume this is another opportunity for me to learn about tractors, and carburetors specifically.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
