Tuning an H carb.. How???

Posted by Truck on April 28, 2006 at 15:14:06 from (64.12.116.65):

I have got the scrapmetal H running and driving, and it is time to do final carb adjustments. I have got it running decently sitting still. I had to clean all the crud out of the carb as it was plugged solid in the passageway before the needle and seat...Somewhere around two turns out for the idle mix, and the main mixture on the bottom is around two and ahalf turns out. FLoat level set like it said in the kit.
Much of the running problem was the points, as I expected, as it has a 12 Volt battery in it and nobody bothered with a 12 volt coil. Got them cleaned up and it smoothed right out. It really doesn't run bad for a machine that was locked up for a few years.

HOWEVER......I can't get it to run down the road in high gear. Which tells me power is still lacking. Any of you H professionals who want to let loose of your carb tuning secrets, I am all ears. As long as I stay out of high gear it starts right away, and runs well. I haven't put any implements on or dragged anything with it yet to see what it will do working.

Also.. The temp gage has not moved very far from cold. I think it is shot. DO H's normally stay on cold unless actually doing work?

Forgive my newbie questions, I normally run a 454 or one of the fleet of grey tractors.

Today's Featured Article - Picking Corn - by Rick Nikolich. It was the day before Christmas shutdown at work and I asked our lead engineering expert Scott Andrzejewski what he was going to do over the holidays. He said that he had some corn that he still needed to pick with an antique one-row New Idea corn picker. Scott has a nice farm about an hour north of Lansing in St. Johns, MI. He wanted to get the rest of his corn in by the next day (Christmas Eve). We had about an inch of new snow on the ground and single digit temperatures. So in the bac ... [Read Article]
