Couple of questions. I've had the carb apart twice because it seems that the tractor isn't getting enough gas. The first day I had it running it would fire up with two turns of the flywheel. Now I have to threaten it before it fires up. I've taken out all plugs and cleaned all passageways twice and made sure nothing is stopped up. I discovered tonight I have to have the idle jet turned out to about 6 turns for it to run smooth but it will not start like that. If I turn it back into to 1.5 to 2 turns out then it will start but once again won't run very smooth until I turn it back out to 5 or 6 turns. Would not having the air filter on affect it this much? Any other suggestions?
Also, I got a gasket kit for it and put it on tonight but the brass nut won't tighten up enough to seal the bowl at all. It bottoms out on the spring way before it ever tightens up. It had a thick rubber gasket under the nut when I took it off the first time last week and I had to put it back on with the thin gasket in the kit to get it to tighten up but still leaks. Are there two different depth brass nuts that go on these carbs? It has the dlt 13 bowl and from what I understand this fits many carbs including the 67.
