Hello! It seems that my B starts fairly easily during colder weather. Here is my routine:
1) Turn fuel on
2) Crank one full cycle on full choke, throttle almost all the way back (usually it will fire)
3) Put on half choke, increase throttle a little bit, crank some more. Usually starts in just a few cranks
However, this method isn't working since it's gotten hot. I have tried not choking at all, starting with half choke. Different throttle positions, etc... Sometimes it takes 20 or 30 cranks to get it going. Very tiring and sweaty job
The carb is a freshly rebuilt one. Adjusted properly (or at least it seemed to be). New plugs, wires, etc....
The only thing that I haven't messed with at all on this tractor is the timing. Does anyone have an opinion on changing the timing in winter vs summer? Not sure which direction to take here, but I'd sure like to be able to start it easier!
Thanks in advance!
