Sorry I did not give enough info on my 1959 John Deere engine problem in my earlier post. It's the
one with 1700 hrs that is blowing black smoke at idle. I had done a tune up consisting of plugs,
wires, cap, button, points, condenser, timing. Two different rebuilt carbs---same result. Tractor
runs great and pulls fine, doesn't act like it's loading up. At higher RPM it does not smoke. I
thought maybe the air way was plugged so I took the intake pipe loose at the carb and pulled it away
from the carb--still smokes really black like it's flooding out but runs fine. Again, any suggestion
would be appreciated. I don't want to kick a dead horse with you, but I'm baffled.
