The weather was great and She finally saw the entire farm, instead of cutting-out after 5-10 minutes, she ran for 30+.The new coil seems to have been the cutting out problem, but the carb float bladder closest to the pin was set right @ 1/4", but the float at the opposite end was a little higher - I leveled it to 1/4" all the way---is this a common mistake on setting floats for rookie's. Finally, got a hold of a old JD mechanic, and informed me the compression head testing for the M series tractors should be anywhere from 60 - 120 lbs/cyl, but the critical issue was not having a delta of any more than 10/15 lbs between the two cylinders.---My # 1 head tested @ 99.5 lbs and #2 tested @ 102lbs---I am fortunate to have such a small difference. Thanks again to the Clooney, John T, et el for all your help and patience with a novice. Any advice on how to the grease from under the finger nails when your nails are now chopped next-to-nothing? LOL regards, tom
