I just bought a 4010 gas tractor on friday. When I start it it turns over, starts, runs, for a second then dies. It does this 5 or 6 times before it will stay running. Then it is so loaded up with fuel it puffs out a little black smoke and smells like gas. Then the tractor runs and drives fine. But when I shut it off it will stay running for a few seconds witch makes me think its a timing issue. The guy I bought it from had a new carb put on it so Im thinking it just needs adjusted. He said its the "new" style carb. I have know idea what the "old" style is or if this is a "new" stlye. Anyway I have know clue how to adjust it so Im asking for some advice. I have the operators manual but its no help on adjusting. I can take a picture of the carb tomorrow night if that would help. Thanks alot
