OK, so i wasted all of today working on that stupid B.
I should have known better.
I got the gas tank on, cleaned up the plugs, checked everything over, got the manifold and muffler on, hooked up the throttle, and tried it out.
Absolutially nothing.
The damn throttle wouldnt move.
So, i took the carb off the manifold and everything looked fine.
After a while, i figured out that the plate in the brand new carb was too big for the intake hole on the bottom of the manifold, and wouldnt budge.
This is very interesting, because it worked fine with that same manifold this spring.
I honestially dont know how this is even possible.
It just doesnt make sence....
But its not a suprise... Anythings possible with me...
So i took the plate off and ground it down on the bench grinder, and got it to move.
Obviously, alot more air gets through now, so i guess ill have to increase the fuel mixture too...
I manged to loose the keys to the kubota too. I know exactially where i left them, because i remember going to town after leaving them there, and i wasnt even in that area until hours after i got home.
Ive never accually "Lost" keys before, just misplaced them.
But these just arent here.
So i started cranking it.
All i can get is a puff through the carb.
Its irritating as hell. Its in time, its got fuel and spark, but its just not doing anything.
I should have known. I could have called this perfactially.... I remember thinking this morning.. "Gee, I hope i dont freeze out here all day for nothing" Just like i did.
I am so damn sick of working on this worthless tractor. I have no clue what the hell is wrong with it this time, and i really dont care.
Tomorrow, im going to start working on other things.
Its just not worth getting mad over. In fact, the only time i get mad enough to raise my voice now is when im working on this.
My plan is to drag it back into the barn so i can have my shop back for the first time in two years and just work on other things.
I leave for cleveland tomorrow, and unless its some painfully obvious detail that i managed to overlook, im just not going to work on this damn thing.
I want my thousands of dollars, hundreds of hours, and years of my life back.

Today's Featured Article - An AC Model M Crawler - by Anthony West. Neil Atkins is a man in his late thirties, a mild and patient character who talks fondly of his farming heritage. He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
