Its a TEMPORARY FIX.. go get some atf & acetone & let it sit.. that'll eat the rust off the parts.. then do as before.. pull the stop, crank it over a few times & let it sit some more.. Drain & refill w/ regular engine oil to the FULL screw & run it..
I know it makes you feel warm & fuzzy to get it running.. but ....

Man, PumpGuy knows his stuff!

Today I drained the acetone mix from the pump. Guess what it looked like? Brown baby poop! (I should have taken a photo, as others may not believe me.) Put in the recommended oil and ran it for 2 hours. Nice smooth throttle response, full-spec top speed, and no-stumble idle.

This 1966 runs better than my 1991 tractor. (My only complaint is my left knee is aching from working that long travel clutch.)

Anyone want me to pick a lottery ticket number for you?

My wife and I were at her sister's house this morning. She's mowing with our little tractor as I tried to repair their ZTR. (The sister is out of town on an extended work assignment.) I had to give up on the ZTR, so went to check on DW. I smell something and see her mowing deck on fire. I wave her down and run with a bucket of water. The grass inside the deck had caught fire when a spindle bearing overheated. So we go home where I have the sister's Ford 3000 (where I've changed out the gearbox on that mowing deck yesterday). I start the tractor, it dies and won't restart.

Tried to start my motorcycle a few days ago and it won't start. (You have to know a bit about me, here. I shut off the fuel to my gas engines and burn out the line so the carb is nice and dry before I put it up. I normally never have problems starting stuff up.)

As the old gold miners used to say: I just can't seem to find the luck, lately.

So, my pick is 12, 31, 57, ...
