Well something wasn't setting quite right with the carb the other night.  

I took it off and checked the carb over. 

Reinstalled. No progress. 

 

It WANTS to run. Starts instantly. 

 

It hunts and pecks all over the place.  If I hold the throttle open a touch it smooths right out. 

Maybe an adjustment?

Not sure. 

 

We'll bring it to @JCM Jim's place and if someone wants to mess with it maybe it'll run on its own. 

 

It's worth noting that when I got the tractor that had this engine from @Stepney there was no air cleaner so it's likely someone was attempting to fix it already.  

 

I'd like very much to learn what's going on with this carb. 

Might be a candidate for a small Kohler carburetor.....

Absolutely. I tried to zero it out the only way I know how and I don't think it made any difference but that doesn't mean I did it right.

 

Also, I don't know where the springs and linkages are supposed to be connected and I'm only assuming that whatever previous owner hadn't changed anything.

 

 

I did find an old post on another website where someone had changed the linkage and the length wasn't right.

At some point I need to figure out how to measure the proper length of the link that goes from the governor arm to the throttle plate.

We got back to Millie for a bit tonight. 

I'd ordered a 2-1/2" od engine pulley in an effort to slow her down some. 

Stock size is 2" so it'll be a hair faster but much more manageable.

Trina changed the size of the spacers on the lower steering shaft hoping to tighten it up some. Made a little difference. 

The pillow block will need to be bored and bushed because the upper steering shaft slides side to side but not fore and aft. 

 

Next will be to get a shorter belt on there, weld up the belt guard and see how it goes. 

It starts and drives ok... At best.

What engine is that? I have an HH100 that I could put up pics of the governor linkages if you need it.

It is an HH100. 

Your pics would be VERY helpful.

Here are a couple old ones that I have on my computer at work. I will get some better ones later when I get home.

Much appreciated.

 

If I could get another pic that shows the spring in the following picture, and where it goes to and from, that would be fantastic.

You got it. Give me a few hours and I'll have it up.

Note the screw at the bottom going through the block flange area. Looks like some kind of limiter like the low idle stop screw on the carb.

@ebinmaine the Tecumseh carb manual also had a sequence for making sure the governor is properly adjusted. On the one I just worked on, it was off by about 5-7º and once fixed, the hunting just stopped.

Thank you thank you thank you.

She put a lot of work into this one. Just like any other. Absolutely worth it every time.

 

She even has a trailer to match the color scheme as of yesterday!

Eric I thought you had a little mig welder.

Am I wrong or do you have both now?

No mig here sir. You might be thinking of the one that @OldWorkHorse Steve brought over one day.

Trina painted the implement control handle/lever and a rear hitch for Millie today. 

 

One step closer to it being a plow tractor for her.

Trina got the hitch, lift lever and wheel weights installed today. 

We don't have chains to fit this tractor. (Thought I did but they're too short. )

 

Other than that it's ready to plow snow.

I wish to know where you got the 1966 WheelHorse decal.

 

I want a 1967 WheelHorse decal just like that...
