Id rejet the H carb. The big M style carb on a low rpm/stock engine wont make much difference,,,, in fact, Ive seen the H carb out do the M carb on stock H's on the dyno. They had the same 540 HP, but the little carb had more low end torque. But, if you do go with the M style carb,,,, look for a 23 venturi,,, which is for the Super H-350 tractors. Its a little bigger than the H, CFM wise,,,, but keep the air flow restricted to keep the air speed faster in the manifold. This helps low end power, too much air and it will fall on its face under hard pulls faster than a smaller carb setup. Want more power,,, try E85 ethanol. You cant run it straight, but you can mix it with pump gas and see a gain. each tractor has its own mix,,, and its based off the cyl pressure to determine the proper mixture. Chad ChadS3@hotmail.com

Just because you put stepped pistons in doesn't mean you need a bigger carb ! To use a bigger carb you need to increase the intake and exhaust flow in the head as well as a possible cam change . To big a carb and the bottom end torqe is gone and that is what you need . Work with your carb , you can open it up if you need more. I would work with the governor spring [stiffer one] but keep your rpm close to stock . Then work with the timing . Set it with a timing light that has a tack in it . Give it full throttle and set the timing to the highest rpm . If you can get hold of a dyno set it the same way but under full load .

Every thing has to work together as a package , a good hot coil helps as well . Keep the rpms in check , these cranks Do Not have bob weights so rpm will kill them . The stock cam also has a rpm range ware it makes good torqe , if the rpms are to high then the torqe #s fall off fast .

I run a tractor dyno service and see what changes work and don't .

There is a ton of little things you can do that all help. There is a gentelmen on here by the name of Chad who has spent alot of time answering this same question. Do a search and look him up he explains this in alot more detail and sure seems to know what hes talking about .

Don't mean to be blunt but bigger isn't always better.

Do a search on chad or try and cotact him .
