Well I am stumped. The 149 didn't want to start again today. I took the fuel line off and blew it out. I am getting good fuel to the carb. It still wouldn't start when I reconnected the line. Next I took the carb off and blew it all out. Still no start. Finally I gave up and sprayed a little more carb cleaner and then the engine fired right up and I ran the tractor for about 30 mins no problem. Could there be any more problem with the valves again? I know I said a friend lapped them bu could it need it again? Maybe it wasn't done properly? Any other ideas? Thanks, Mark
