Engine not running properly

I noted a couple years ago that the manifold was getting rusty and last year I picked up a new manifold and replace it. I removed the carburetor when I did this. After putting everything back together, I had difficulty getting it to start. The first time it started up the engine raced at high RPM’s so I shut it down right away. After reading a bit, I thought that I had “governor throttle shaft” out of sync with the throttle! I made the adjustments and believe that problem is taken care of. (maybe)
So I’m able to start the engine now, but only runs at idle rpm’sfor about 30 seconds, it shuts down.

I’m not sure if I have the throttle shaft set correctly or if I have a problem with the fuel float, or something else.

I’m open for suggestions, also am looking for someone in Western Pennsylvania that might be interested in coming and taking a look at it.

Two problems may exist:
The throttle shaft may be out of the tabs on the governor (on the other side from the last time allowing omly idle.
And the fuel supply may be plugged up. or restricted causing it to die. JimN

Jim: Sure sounds like he missed the tabs on the gov/carb link-up. mike durhan

Thanks for your answers. I'm going to check the fuel line and screen.How can I tell if my fuel bowl is getting fuel?

Some Ms have a drain on the bottom of the bowl. If not, Shut off the tank valva, and remove the bottom of the carb (It shaould be near full of gas, and probably is due to the fact that it will run for seconds after sitting). Lift the float gently with a finger, and (with a tin can under the carb) open the valve at the tank. (((by the way this valve should be shut off every time you get off the tractor when the engine is shut off, even for 2 min))
A stream of fuel should come out of the needle and seat about the same rate as from an excited puppy. If not it is restricted. There is also a screen in the inlet fitting of the carb. JimN

You caught the carb/governor sync. A good job. The problem makes me wonder if you've got a good seal on the gasket between the carb and the manifold.
