My 1952 8N tractor does not idle properly.
When started the engine revs uncontrollably until the engine is killed. The tractor has been setting up for some time. Thanks for any help you can give me,

Eric

Got a lawnmower? Start it up, let it idle, and screw in the fuel mixture screw a turn. Notice what it does to the idle (makes it surge quite wildly). Take that knowledge you just learned, and try it on your tractor. But do so being aware that the idle mixture screw is a bleed, so it operates backward (in is rich, out is lean).

See if the throttle is free on the carburetor.You can remove the linkage by pulling back on the end of the link and it will pull of the ball on the throttle shaft lever on the carburetor.
If that is not the problem, something may be wrong with the governor. I have seen on occasion the throttle inside the carburetor come off the shaft and cause the same problem. If it is off and you can't find it, it may be up around one of the intake valve ports.
