I just re-timed a 1952 M for an old fella down the road.He has had this tractor for over 10 years and whomever had it before him had the timing really out of whack,but it still ran, but ROUGH. It almost sounded like an old "poppin johnny".Anyways i set the carb settings to factory specs. I have the main jet 3 turns off the seat.The tractor starts perfect-idles perfect and runs fine at full throttle.When you idle it down and shut it off, it backfires. I have turned the main jet screw in to lean it out 3 times at 1/4 turn each time and it still does it.What am i missing here?
