About the carb. The shop I used was the only one willing to do a carb from a tractor. Most the garages said they don't do carbs anymore just fuel injection. The shop tech has done other tractor carbs but not a TSX so I gave him the article from this site, the one you referred to, and the rebuild kit from Rick's Agri parts including a new float. He said it had been rebuilt before and that there was a lot of build up and soaked it a few times. I looked through the article myself and didn't see the choke spring mentioned. I would really like to know how to hook that up. I have the operators manual, ordered it from this site as well. My neighbor has an identicle tractor though his is pristine and I doubt I could borrow his carb. I did get the tractor started using starter fluid it continued running after the starter fluid was used up. I ran it around the property for probably a good hour then shut her off and restarted it without using the fluid. I will check tomorrow cause it has done this before and wouldn't start cold without the spray. I am really interested in finding out how to hook up that spring.

Thanks again,

J. Schwiebert makes a good point also. The vacumm hooked up can narrow down some things to look for and where to start if you think the carb is OK.

Hang in there. I'll see if I can find some more info on Monday for ya and maybe some others have some ideas also.

Thanks,
