cleat 8,817 #352 Posted 2 hours ago It finally warmed up enough to get the tractor started. Some fresh non-ethanol fuel was added to the fuel tank I pumped some air into the fuel tank with a hand pump to fill fuel line and prime the carb. Rear of tractor was jacked up so it would not take off on me since hydro neutral has not yet been set. Engine started virtually immediately. I let it run for a while to warm up and verify it was running well. Air cleaner housing installed. Air cleaner element and cover installed. Air cleaner cover installed. Idle speed base and governed set as per manual. Hydro neutral set as per manual. Tractor rear was then set on the ground and I was finally able to take it for it's maiden drive. It drives perfectly. Here is the manual I use to set the idle and hydro. Wheel horse service manual.pdf 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
