I have been having quite a bit of trouble with my 1050 - yesterday it was running fine to the point I could go up the drive and back on it - after running it for a while yesterday I went to start it today - started off pretty good but began to run rough, misfire and died a couple of times. After messing with it for a while I noticed a drip of oil at the bottom of the air intake pipe (on which the air filter sits) - looking at the manual it shows that the breather pipe goes into the magneto breaker box? This is situated above the points area - could water/oil crud in there affect the running of the engine like this?
I have already gapped and cleaned the points, put in a new spark plug, new plug wire (copper) and adjusted the carb to specs.
There is one other problem I am having which might be related - I cannot seem to get it to run at a slow idle - I have the idle screw adjusted to 1 1/2 turns and the idle screw on the top of the carb is backed out so in fact it is not even touching the stop. Could the idle jet be blocked?
Tractor has been sitting for some time before I got it running - so maybe the carb needs yet another clean out?
