So I have got my old d15 up and running! Full ignition tune up and rebuilt the carb a tsx844.(all bought from this site) Spent a
couple hours in the ultrasonic cleaner. Setting the idle was straightforward using my tach meter Just adjusted for max rpm and
then richened it up half turn. Idle rpm is round 850rpm. On trying to set the main jet I get very little response on huge
adjustments! I ran it in and tractor died at 3/4 turn from seated. If i back it out from there I get no real noticable change
backing it out past spring contact. Never saw black smoke, might have gotten slightly less clear but not enough for a 20 yr dodge
tech to notice. The tachometer never showed a repeatable change of any kind either.
Any advice for a first time tractor owner just trying to do right and get by?
