(quoted from post at 09:19:03 05/26/15) Have you tried to adjust the main jet the one that sits at a 45 degree angle?? Open it up a bit and see if that helps. If you can open it up to the point it can be pulled out and the tractor still run yes time for a rebuild
(quoted from post at 17:40:16 05/26/15) "Think it might be in the linkage?"
You could always try adjusting it back to see.
Unless you bent it, then it might break.
IMHO, if your main jet was turned out 6 turns and it ran, the
carb needs some attention or you have an air leak somewhere.
Have you checked for air leaks using an unlit propane torch or
some carb cleaner or similar? Cheap and easy to try.
(quoted from post at 17:31:46 05/27/15) Sounds like it needs a good soaking.cleaning and a carb kit put in. I use the Walker Brand kits I get from an O'Reilly's auto part store kit #778-505A

Thanks. That's the route I'm going. Pulled the carb tonight, took it apart and have it soaking in carb cleaner. Will put it back together tomorrow.
I could here an air leak when it surged. Found a bushing severely worn on the throttle shaft. A lot if play.
Thx for the part number.

(quoted from post at 18:34:46 05/29/15) Was it a "tube" or a "cup"? I'll get a picture of what I'm thinking.
There is a brass cup that is lightly press fit to hold the seal in.
There is also a brass tube meant to be used as a bushing to
compensate for a worn out bore. If it came out easily, likely it
was the cup.
In either case, I'm glad to hear you got it back up and running!
You're welcome. Glad to help when I can.(quoted from post at 23:30:45 05/29/15)(quoted from post at 18:34:46 05/29/15) Was it a "tube" or a "cup"? I'll get a picture of what I'm thinking.

Me too.
It was a tube. About 1/8th inch long, looked like a tube someone cut off. It was the same diameter as the shaft hole cast into the carb. I couldn't see what it did. Couldn't put the seal in the carb with it in there.
On the choke shaft found a cup, installed backwards.
Thanks again for the help.
