Hi all, I just joined the forum and thought I'd introduce myself in the green area of the forum. I posted a couple of pictures in the intro section, but here's another one of the mower with the new tires I put on it this summer.
The tractor is a work horse. I do have a history, though, of doing things above and beyond what some equipment was intended to do. The LX hasn't minded. It doesn't know it isn't a bigger tractor, so Shhhh, let's not tell it.
The hood is cracked to heck, and the headlights were busted out so I replaced with fogs from wal-mart.
The engine is spectacular ONCE I GET IT RUNNING. that's probably the main reason I joined.
The problem is that I can't start in choke, I can only start in very low idle. If I try to throw it out of low idle right away it will die. If I VERY slowly raise the engine speed it will usually be ok. Sometimes jI can just walk away for a few minutes and let it run in that very low idle, then come back to it and rev it right up.
Once it's warmed up I can shut it off and turn it on without a problem. Engine runs great once I get it started. It has never "not started."
Had fuel lines and filter replaced right before I got ahold of it.
Where do i go next. Is this a float issue? some other carb setting issue?
