[AJD] JD 40 question - running odd while going up hills

[Michael Dixon]

My M and the 40 that I once owned had Marvel-Schebler carburetors with 
adjustments for both high and low speed mixtures. Look for a little "L" 
shaped handle sticking out from the bottom area of the carburetor. And be 
sure to buy the manuals for your tractor!

>> Probably the high speed mixture is slightly too lean.
