Some guys are very regimented when it comes to their approach towards an engine that is giving problems. Setting the valves for him is easy so he does it and YES it does eliminate some problems that may keep your engine from running. Also it is a good maintenance item that needs done periodically. I really do not think in your case it is causing it to run bad after a short period. I would suggest checking the fuel supply. I believe this tractor has a fuel pump. Pull the line off the carb and crank the engine should get good pulses of fuel out line, at least a 1/4 cup after 5 seconds of cranking. If you find the flow is minimal which would really be only a dribble the way your engine is responding you will have to figure out where it is blocked. If that is good reconnect it an open the carb drain and crank engine again. Should get good flow there as well but somewhat less because of the restriction of the float needle. If only a dribble there pull the fitting that screws in the carb the feed line attaches to. It may very well have a fine screen in it that is plugged.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
