Hello all! Well, got the FMJ magneto installed on the '44 ZTU today (picked it up from Rudy Calin at rebuiltmags). After figuring out which
way was which on the throttle lever (back is idle, forward is increased RPM), I did get it started. Seems to hunt pretty significantly, and
am unsure as to whether or not this would be a governor issue or carb issue... I figured I would come here to pick your brains. I also
cleaned and rebuilt the carburetor while I was waiting for a magneto.
Guess I am not sure where to start - had to stop working on it today, but I figured I would check valve tappet clearances next time I am at
it just to make sure they are within spec.
Any help is greatly appreciated (and a video is currently being uploaded on YouTube showing the tractor running).
