In Reply to: starting my tractor posted by Nicholas C on May 05, 2022 at 13:17:18:
I was in the garage earlier today and tried starting the tractor. About the same effort as yesterday. I thought maybe I found a sweet spot in it, but not really sure. I know my arm is getting tired. It did finally start and I let it warm up. A few days ago, I ordered and received a shop manual and parts catalog. I read several times on how to adjust the carb.

BTW, these guys on Youtube sure make it look easy starting these tractors. I'm sure I'll eventually be fine also after figuring out what it likes.
