Randy says thank you to all who took time out of their busy lives to share knowledge.
So he and his friend Meryl, a carburetor specialist, found two things that could have caused the problem.
First, they found that a little screw in the bottom of the bowl was too long and may have been restricting fuel in main jet. (They cut off the screw)
Second thing was that we might have put on the wrong seal on the main jet. It was too big. This may have caused it to draw air instead of gas. So we replaced the wrong seal with the right seal.
We learned much for everyones contributions. Tractor runs pretty good now, but the motor is low on compression. This is why it doesn't run really well still.
Happy that it runs, there was a time we couldn't get it started.
Zena and Randy.
