Dgibby 32 #26 Posted October 11, 2014 Update. I put the new coil on and still had the sputter. Got a carb kit Pulled the carb soaked it overnight put it back together and runs great! Thanks everyone for the help. I should of done the valve adjustment when i had it all apart but i didn't! I might do the valves tomorrow. Is there a thread on valve adjustment for the m14? Just looking for the clearances and any other need to know! Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Save Old Iron 1,563 #27 Posted October 11, 2014 good to hear it is running - you may want to try the paper test again. if the paper gets sucked backward into the muffler. check the valves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dgibby 32 #28 Posted October 18, 2014 How about the vent in the gas cap, followed by a look at the inside of the tank filter screen. New gas line. I like to do the hole fuel system.... The vent in the cap seems to be fine. I did replace the complete fuel lines and when I bought the new shut off valve and grommet it didn't come with that little screen so I didn't think it was needed. Anyway the tractor was running fine and yesterday it started to act up again so I got a new carburetor off ebay. Should be here next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forest Road 594 #29 Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Happy to hear she's running. Considering the age and lack of use replace the fuel lines. They do break down over time. Anytime I get a new tractor first items replaced are spark plug, fuel lines and filter, and oil change. Check air filter and be ready for a carb cleaning. These things will run in the poorest of maintenance conditions. Happy mowing! Edited October 22, 2014 by Forest Road Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
