Jubilee doesn't like cold air

It didn't want to make power. So I put on
4 inch flex hose and cranked main jet out
a half turn.
This happens every winter.

This is my idea. I had a 1971 Plymouth
duster that recovered heat from exhaust
manifold.

I readjust the fuel needle on all of my gasoline Fords each spring and fall.

Cold air makes more power! You cut the power down.

That should warm up the oil in the air cleaner. I agree with carburetor readjustment. Another factor may be if you are still running gas from summer/ early fall. In this area there is a winter formula gas that will mix better with air at lower temperature, but isn?t allowed during warm months due to pollution regulations as it evaporates more readily .

Perhaps you were getting carburetor icing.

It happens every fall/winter. It needs warmer air and a half turn out on main jet. Without it there wasn't enough power to move tractor in first gear.
