I have a 24 hp v twin Intek that is driving me CRAZY. It is on a Huskee tractor that was given to me. Model 407577 0292 E1. It has the single barrel Nikki carb with no fuel adjustment screws. The tractor looks like it was taken care of but the engine runs like crap. When I first started it it wanted to lope at idle so I checked the governor adjustment which was ok. Since then I have checked everything there is to check--- valve adjustment, compression and leakdown tests, ignition spark, new plugs, checked the flywheel key, new fuel pump, fuel filter, and checked for intake leaks with my propane wand. At some point it stopped the loping but still is not running smooth. I removed the carb, got a new seal and cleaned the carb out. It seems to be running lean because when I pull the choke partly out it seems to smooth out. I am at my witts end. I am about ready to find an old style carb off a Kohler or Briggs and put on it. Im sure that would be a challenge.
I would appreciate any input on this problem. Thank you in advance, Jim
The reason I have done so much on this is because it is going to be my tractor to mulch leaves with and keep my Cubs clean.
