I can say this,, I have yet to see a tractor, after it has been properly tuned up on the dyno, that had not sweat, or frost over all the time. If you cant start the engine even when warmed up, you better look at the carb again. If you are not using a dyno to tune this engine you are gonna be pulling your hair out before you hook to the sled, Plain and simple!! Also, let me guess, is it a huge carb???? May have took all the vacuum pressure of the manifold, from the big intake you built, and if it is a big carb, and still running low rpms, Goes back to the post from last week on efficency,, Like I said, it is common, when the conditions are right. Alcohol can accelerate this condition, but have seen it frost with 94 octane too. You may still have trouble in the carb,, better look at it again,, you should be able to run the rpm at high idle, tune the jet adjustment, and make it smoke a bit, turn it back in till it just smooths out, the plugs should be cocoa color for a good burn in the cyl, I would bet they are white from lean,, or if it is off by vacuum, it will be black.
