Default kt17 carb setting problems

I just cleaned my carb on the 782 and set everything to the starting settings off this site. It won't start at them. I had to turn them another one to one quarter turns then it started but it seems to be running way to rich now. Any ideas on what's up. Could points setting be doing this?

Where are the needles set? 2 1/8 on the main and 1 3/4 on the idle should get you started.

I had to back them out about 2.5 on both to get it going. And I can play with it get it running good but once I shut it off let it cool a bit and restart it its running like junk again. I've.taken this carb apart and cleaned it three different times now thinking I missed something but it all seems fine. even let it soak this last time and really no change almost no play in the throttle shaft. It's got me stumped I've never had these sort of problems when redoing a carb before

That's the manual I used. Is there anyway to identify the carb as being Tue.correct one for the engine? There is no number in the choke throught like on my older k series carbs. I'm thinking it might be the wrong carb or something. I compaired the high idle jet with one out of a o241 carb and the it17 needle had much smalller holes in it. So I don't really know what's going on here

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
