Yesterday I was testing the modified deck and everything was working normally, until I noticed a failure in acceleration, characterizing a lack of fuel.
I removed the caburator and did a quick cleanup, normalizing the thing and I finished the day without problems.
I returned home and this morning, when removing the tractor from the trailer, the engine would not start... it did not even turn the crankshaft completely, it seemed to be stuck... turning it by hand, the same symptom occurred .
I removed the spark plug to make the engine lighter and when I removed it...
The chamber was full of gasoline!!!
Either I made a mistake when reassembling the carburetor or the inlet valve is no longer sealing.
With the spark plug out, I flicked the key and the engine revved as it should and more gas came out of the chamber.
I'm going to drain the oil, let any gasoline evaporate, reassess the carburetor and reassemble everything... I guess I got lucky.
