got some work done today, temporary fuel tank mounts and throttle cable, the tank holds fuel and gets it to the carb so it is all good, more to do though!!

There's an adjustment for idle, it's not too low is it?

doesn't seem like it because just over idle it seems to run very fast, not sure weather to take off the carb and clean it or if the mixtures are wrong, what setups for the turns on the jet screws are you all running or if you don't know what are the presets?

You can try running them all the way in then back them out 2 turns for starters.  :)

got some work on the ranger today, seat on, outside pics with juliette and got the deck adjuster but the split pin won and the angle grinder was the only way it was coming off.
