I have a Farmall A that starts and idles really nice. But as soon as I put it under a load it sounds like it's missing, and sometimes it will pop out of the exhaust and fire can be seen coming out of the exhaust as well.
I've been reading that I might be running lean, but there is no adjustment on the TSX157 carb to test that easy.
