149 rebuild
Made some progress on my 149 engine rebuild the past few days. The engine is now installed in the tractor and I started it up for the first time yesterday. Engine turned over about 2 times and hit as soon as I set the choke. I immediately pushed the choke back open and the engine died. Started it again and it hit as soon as I closed the choke. Slowly opened choke and engine kept running. Released the brake and moved hydro lever forward and moved tractor to just in front of garage. Had engine throttle a little below half throttle. Let the engine run for about 30 minutes. Shut engine off and let cool. After it cooled, I re-torqued the head bolts. Took a quick video of it running along with a few pictures of the engine going into the frame. Could hear a miss in engine every now and then, but I have not adjusted the carb.. Hope an adjustment will take the miss out. Did not see any oil under engine this morning but I have my fingers crossed. Will not be able to work on it today, but maybe tomorrow morning. Will try to attach pictures and video. Thanks for every ones help, and have a great day. Have to post again for video.
