Ok need the pros to help with my problem. I have a Farmall bn 1944. I was aware of the rough idle when I bought it. I have replaced the spark plugs and new wires. I have also replaced the 6 volt coil with new points and condenser. I have cleaned and checked the air breather. I have removed the carb and rebuilt it with new gaskets and cleaned jets. I have even checked for leaks around the carb with carb cleaner did not change anything. I have even tried to smooth out the rough idle by turning the distributor no luck. After doing all of this the tractor does run better but it still has a rough idle. The idle is sort of like increasing and decreasing the idle by pushing the hand idle lever control. The spark plugs were pulled tonight and each spark plug was solid with black soot. When I start the tractor I see some soot shoot out of drain holes on bottom of manifold. I also have soot that shoots out muffler. I can drive tractor around and it won't die it just sounds rough I want to hear it puuuuuur. Thanks
