Well I've been working on getting the 2N to idle. It runs well a 1/2 throttle and more. Dell suggested it may be running lean.Went out to start tractor..... ....wouldn't start. Just day before I had taken it out on a 2mi. cruise. I had to, it was over 20 degrees out. (This is MN - 20+ is warm for JAN.) Anyway, the motor turns, and turns, and turns, gas pours from carb. Ok, draft through carb pulling in gas presumeably. Go spark? Yep. Damn near knocked me over by the way. No, that is not how I usually check;-). Starts on starting fluid no problem. Runs until the fluid is all used up. Then..... ... I notice a funny smell....smoke coming up from behind dash. Tractor still turns over, starts and then dies with starting fluid as before. Monday, she's dead. Hook up battery charger....charger won't start. Seems a plate has broken loose???---battery is a month old. Nearby battery charges fine...charger is ok. And that new manifold and gasket??? Leaking by #4..... .. again. Lord, shoot me now..... ..... .....
