the ongoing saga...I still have a field of TALL grass to cut. I figured out how to set the points...WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!! No wonder it wasn't running. The new points were up against the adjustment plate the whole time! Now I have two more problems...I have a gear shift lever that came loose, which has the tractor stuck in reverse, AND the tractor is running smoothly, but hot, and it only stays running if its at a full choke, which isn't really useful. The father-in-law says it's burning too lean, and there is an adjustment screw that needs to be played with on the back side of the carb so that it'll run with no choke=more power? Does this make sense? Also, a guy that tinkers with non-tractor engines thought that the engine could be running hotter than normal if it is running too lean=too much choke. Is this correct too? Any suggestions/ constructive feedback is most helpful. Also, any suggestions on how to get the tractor out of reverse? I've already removed the gearbox cover plate, but can't provide leverage to knock the right side out of reverse. (1949 Cub) I can't start it now or tune it while it's in gear...a major catch 22!!!!
