After the engine repower install, the fuel adjustment screw broke off this my not being able to adjust the fuel mixture. I summarily decided to swap out the carb for the original Scott Keller engine carburetor.
The engine surged quite a bit and wouldnt idle well so the carb swap was a must. The oil was terrible, one of the worst I’ve ever seen and it needed a change. Some of my subscribers told me to adjust the valves however, I didnt feel the need to, but nonetheless, I did it and it needed a small adjustment. The headlight harness was not hooked up so I installed the headlights and cleaned the lenses. I also installed a fuel shut off valve because it is a gravity fed gas tank and it ensures gas will not over flow to the crankcase. I do suspect the needle is not seating correctly and I may have to take the carb apart again. The combustion chamber flooded with gas and in had to relieve it by removing the spark plug and cranking it to blow the hydro lock out to start.
After my hand injury, it bothered me that I screwed up that main jet accident and I wasnt able to get that carburetor going. While my hand still hurts, I think my ultrasonic cleaner and help me a bit. I screwed that main jet back in and blew out the holes with @lucasoil brake parts cleaner and dunked the carb into my ultrasonic cleaner. I blew out all the holes again with an air compressor and guess what? Will it run?

I was browsing through Craigslist and saw someone giving away 3 lawn tractors. The problem was, there was no address, just a vague map with a town vicinity. The other problem was that they were already on the curb and it’s about 40 mins away. The chances I would scoop up at least 1 of them was not looking likely. About 2 hours later, he posted a cross street which made me go out and try to grab one.
I was lucky enough to get the last one still sitting there around midnight. The next day I started to troubleshoot it and get it started. As you will see, I injured my hand which pretty much put an end to my day.
