carb won't adjust???
Hey everyone,
I've seen posts on carburetors not adjusting but couldn't find them.
I just rebuilt the carb on an original that wasn't running when I purchased it. It had been sitting for a few years. Got it ready for the first start, sediment bowl clean, checked for spark and cleaned and rebuilt the carburetor.
The tractor started with 3/4 choke and wouldn't run with any more or any less choke. I started with 1 1/2 turn out on idle and 2 turns out on main. When given the throttle it would spit and sputter.
As a test, I screwed the idle needle valve in all the way while it was running on 3/4choke and it made no change.
Any thoughts...I was thinking maybe the holes in the main needle valve didn't get completely clean.
