Need some answers about my tractor.

 

[Lucid]

Is there something not working right on tractor, or just want general info?

Get a owner's manual will answer a lot of maintenance Q's. Tractordata.com also can be helpful.

Yes when I start it up it will not run it dies out.

 

[TomNewton]

I have a Manual i ges I will check it out Thanks.

Plenty of gasoline in the tank? Sediment bowl not plugged? Fuel shutoff under the tank not closed? Fuel inlet screen in the carburetor not plugged?

 

[F-Dean]

If it starts, it has fire. Timing may be
a little off, but I believe it is a fuel
issue: 1)Supply 2)Carb or 3) Governor.

Use a flashlight and look in the gas tank to see if something might be blocking the intake hole. I had that happen once and solved the problem with one of
those flexible grabber thingies. Ellis

k I will try that.

 

[TomNewton]

Thats what I'm thinking How do I check the governor?

I have tried to adjust the carb but one of the adjustment screws is stuck.

Which one is stuck? If it is at the bottom, that is the main fuel (load) adjustment. Loosen the packing nut a bit and then you should be able to turn the screw. Gas will drip when the packing nut is loose, but should stop when you tighten it again. For what it's worth, the load adjustment screw, factory initial setting, is 3 turns out. If the engine will not run at that setting, something else is wrong.

Governors do not cause the engine to stop running. Do not start with the least likely cause. The issue is likely to be fuel supply. Start with:
Fuel flow to the carburetor. Remove the small square headed plug in the bottom with a small adjustable wrench. Put a can under the carb to catch fuel. It should
put out a pint in a minute or two, a nice continuous stream for at least a minute of flow. If it rushes out for a few seconds, then slows to a trickle, the fuel
supply is at fault. There is a screen in the fitting where the fuel line goes into the carb. They plug up. If this is uncomfortable to check, get a
neighbor/farmer/mechanic to assist. If good flow, richen the load screw (front bottom of carb) 1/4 turn at a time to see improvement. (gain getting help is not a
bad thing. Jim

 

[TomNewton]

Its the screw that is at a angle going into the carb. In about the middle.

 

[TomNewton]

Its the Middle one.

 

[Janicholson]

The angled brass screw (at the e in Yesterdays) is a drain cock and should be removable or able to be opened to check flow, or drain the carb) it may be a square
pipe plug not brass. The load screw is the screw in need of careful adjustment 1/4 turn at a time Counter clockwise.. Jim

 

[TomNewton]

Ok Its The Idle mix Screw that is stuck or froze

 

[Janicholson]

If it starts and runs for 20 to 30 seconds, then quits, you can leave that screw where it is. The issue is likely to be the fuel supply as mentioned in my other
post. If it will idle all day, but not speed up without dying, it is likely the load screw mentioned in my earlier post. Or just some fuel getting to the carb.
not enough to provide higher speed. Jim
