| Open up the main jet 2 or 3 turns. What did you do to the carb?? |

| I'd spray carb cleaner around all fittings and see if the engine tone changes. If so, you found your leak. Some guys also use the gas from a non-lit propane torch, as it produces similar results. |

Has the carb had a good cleaning? Might want to do that first. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

| You might have done it already, but I have found the fuel goes bad. I drained my D17 that had new fuel in it a month ago, left it in an open pail and after a week still has fuel in it. |

Fresh fuel, Carb was rebuilt not too long ago, but yes it may need cleaning. Actually I dont know much about the workings of a carb, but willing to tear into it if I must. Manifold is newer, hope there isnt a leak! Thanks guys. ------------- If its not an All-Crop, it all crap! |

| I think I would put the carb on hold and look at ignition. I have seen points, condensor and plug wires cause this problem. Drives you nuts until you find it. Had one that I messed with a long time and found a wire shorting against the block. To soon for the gas and match. |
