What is the correct setting for each of the 3 valves on an 8N (1952 model). A couple weeks ago, I took the carb apart to put in a new float and messed around with the valve settings. Just got it running again today...it ran pretty good for the first 15 minutes. Then, it kept acting like it wanted to die and was jerking on me. I tried it for another 10 minutes or so and it kept doing the same thing. It did seemed to run a little better when I pulled the choke out slightly...but it still jerked a little.
I will get new spark plugs and see if that helps, but in any case I'd like to make sure the valves/screws on the carb are set correctly. I understand the setting may vary a little for each tractor, but is there a general rule of thumb to the settings?
