First, dont rush building the carb, there is nothing quick about it,,, the procedure is quick, easy, and cost is probably less that 20 bucks. No, the jets are not the same in the 2 carbs you mentioned. There is many different sizes in all of the carbs they put on them. The biggest jet you will find is in thw W9 tractors, and the smallest will be a Super H. Then you can go up to the 06 series carbs, then the big metering stem, and the larger venturis can be used on the style of carb you have. OK,, All the work is done to the bowl of the carb, remove it, and dissasemble it. Remove the brass metering stem, and the main jet adjustment screw, and fitting on the carb bowl. Go to the hardware, (Take the carb bowl with ya) And go find the drill bits isle. Find the drill bit that fits the jet perfectly, then buy the bit that is about 5 sizes bigger than the jet. These bits, are a numbered drill bit,, FYI!!! Drill the main jet. Be careful!!, all you do is drill the brass insert for the jet, dont go too far into the carb bowl while drilling. Next, with the same drill bit, drill the bottom 2 holes on the metering stem, on the metering stem, along the sides of it, there is 3 sets of holes, (total of 6) that meters fuel from the jet,, and that controls how much fuel goes into the venturi. Just drill the bottom 2 holes. Clean the carb bowl well, and reasemble it.

Setting the carb,, once it starts back up,, open the throttle up all the way, and back the adjustment out until it stutters, or loads up with too much fuel, simply, turn it back in till it starts to smooth out. Crack the throttle a few times,, see if it opens up, with out sputtering, or way too much smoke. If it does, turn it in just a bit more. Best way to set the carb is dyno tune it, but can be done at the track,, Hope this helps, ChadS

THanks for the help. I went to my first pull on thursday. I pulled in 2nd gear high and then used the ta at the end because at the end of my pull it ran out of power. When I started running out of power the front end started to come up just a little. I think my tractor is well balanced but I'm just wondering if I can put a little more fuel to it for that litlle extra? I checked the plugs after the two pulls and they were a nice light light brown color. So I think its burning right, but as I said I still have no adjustment.So I guess I'm wondering if I should even touch the carb or if just drilling out the metering stem might be enough. Thanks!

Basicly,, rule of thumb on carbs is that you have to be able to back the adjustment screw out, and make the engine run rich, or smoke a bit, at full throttle,, then back the screw in till it just smooths out. Yes, the metering stem will help a bunch,, you see,, even though the jet can be as big as a 10 penny nail,, the metering stem wont allow the same amount of fuel from the jet to enter the venturi, this is because of the 6 holes on the side of the stem, and are very very small in size,, all of those holes added up together still wont equal the size of the main jet,, Check your current jet size,, then drill out the metering stem bottom 2 holes the same size as your current main jet. Hardware stores have numbered drill bits, so use them to find the right size of the main jet. NOW, if you do this with the stem,, and you still cant get it to run rich,, then you need to increase the size of the main jet about 2-5 drill bit sizes from the original size. you should not have to do any thing to the stem holes since you have already enlarged them. Stiil it sounds like it could use a bit more fuel to it, and yes, more fuel to it, will make a huge difference when you get into the situation like you described. this will unlock a bit more lug power in the engine allwing it to get a few extra revolutuions in before it dies completly.
