Im pretty sure it was a high quality rebuild kit that went into it. The gent I bought it from spent several hours talking my ear off about the tractor, telling me all the things, good and bad, that he knew about. I guess he paid one of the "local legends" of rebuilding to take care of the carb for him, and used one of the high quality kits after putting too many of the cheap ones through it.
However, I do know that I had some rust in my tank, after fighting with it in my sediment bowl for a few starts. I had to pull the drain on the bottom of the carb to get it to start once, and got all sorts of goodies out when I did that... But the sediment bowl is now clean, the tank is clean, and a new fuel line has been put in.
Based on what everyone here has said so far, it sounds like some of that crud might be plugging up a jet in the carb somewhere, or I have an air leak going on. I dont think my manifold has a hole in it or isnt sealed properly, but Ill check with the torch to see. (I do know if I put my hand near it, I can feel exhaust blowing through two holes in the manifold...but Im assuming this is normal...)
Ill see what I can discover this next trip home, thanks for all the ideas!
Ill post back to let everyone know how it went, or if I need more ideas.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
