I recently got my 400 to start good. I have developed a few new problems though.
Problem 1- The tractor idles pretty high. It does rev up some still but there is not much range between high and low rev. I tried adjusting the idle screw on the carb but it did not have any affect on the idle. I have not done tried anything else other then the idle screw. I am running a carb bowl off of a Farmall M because the one off my 400 had a crack, is these my issue? Could I not have my governor hooked up to the carb right?
Problem 2- When I am running the tractor not under any load, it seems to get hot quickly, as in you can see the heat coming off the sides of the exhaust. My guess is the thermostat is either stuck or bad. Could it be something else?
Problem 3- when idling and driving the tractor is blows some(not much) black smoke out the exhaust. Could this be a valve or gasket issue?
Thanks
This is a new to me tractor and my first running Farmall.
