Have had a 435 during in the shed for about 5 plus yrs. I bought from the original owners daughter. Her husband over hauled the engine, and tho it does run, it's still needs some adjustments. It doesn't start very well and runs rough unless at full throttle and won't idle.
Took it out if the shop today for a grease bath and was tinkering with the governor and such while it was running. Don't know why, but I put my hand over the air cleaner pipe and restricted the air to it and it started running smoother and actually would idle.
Any thoughts?
And yes I have the manuals. I just don't want to start randomly changing adjustments and to get the valve cover off it looks like I would have to take the HYD and power steering lines apart. Just don't want to do that if not needed.
