I was slowly idling down to the bank I was going to knock down today with my box blade, and the tractor just died. It turned over and wouldn't start. I first thought I may have flooded it! I had the gas valve opened about 3 turns and I was just poking around at a idle. I took the plugs out and they all looked good, but I cleaned them and put them all back in still it turned over, and no crank! This time I pulled the choke and it hit a lick. So I tried it again with the choke and it ran as long as I had the choke pulled. I got it back to the shop.
Last week I put a new manifold gasket on it. Apparently I had not adjusted the carburetor after the repair. So I set the carb back to Dells original specs. it fired up and idled. A few more slight adjustments and I went back down, and she worked like a champ! I have the bank ready for grass seed now, and we can cut with the riding mower.
