Hey gang! Here's where we're at!
I removed the inline filter and valve and added the sediment bowl/valve too the bottom of the tank, made sure the original steel line was in good shape and replaced the fitting in the carb with the screen filter. Now have great fuel flow!
Took the carb back apart and cleaned and recleaned....found the small idle jet in the neck of the carb partially clogged with paint. Got that cleaned out and the spray was a lot better.
Fired it up and she ran a lot better but still not great.
Used the propane torch trick around all the obvious areas for a vacuum leak...nothing. No change.
Pulled the carb back down...(no. 4th time) and went all thru it again.....still found nothing....put it back together and fired her back up......ran a LOT better.....running now with choke full open and taking fuel great!. sounds good.
Took it for a spin down the old dirt road...running good but a little off......so I got back.....grabbed a wrench....loosened up the distributor and with a 1/8" turn....found her sweet spot and tightened her down.
Took another ride down the road....smooooooth. Throttle response is now instant. Running perfect. Cap on exhaust isnt jumping around.....holds very steady.
Problem!!!......even though its running great....the carb adjuster screws still arent doing anything!. You can screw the main in and cut the fuel down and notice a change.....but I backed it out from closed 1-1/2 turns.....started it and I cant turn it out even more with no change. Is this normal?????
The only thing I havent checked...(and dont know how)....is the synchronization from the governor too the carb....but the governor seems too be working correctly.....let out on clutch in gear...motor falls slightly before governor kicks in.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. 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
