Thanks again, but I think it's a much bigger issue unfortunately. I just had the carb off again, readjusted, took off the tank-to-carb hose and blew it out just in case it was clogged, and also blew out where the gas comes into the carb. Tried running leaner, richer. The engine sounds bad. I think it is past being 'on its last leg'. I think I am going to pursue the option of getting a rebuilt short block. I believe most here would agree as opposed to going out and buying a new tractor.
