I'll have to look. I didn't get a chance to mow last night, nor did I mess with it.
It was sitting at my father in laws house this winter and it wasn't starting right. So I just had my father in law drop it off at the case IH dealer for a carb rebuild.
They rebuilt the carb, changed oil, new battery, air filter, and put a electric fuel shut off solenoid on it.
Then I picked it up for snowblower duty and we never got any more snow. Then it sat until June 1st, when I decided to pick it up and start using it.

So I highly doubt that the carb is dirty. (And I don't want to hear anything about the dealership.) Given the dealerships relationship with my family.
It might be possible that they set the adjustment screw to a factory setting causing it to run lean.
