1967 mf 135 deluxe with the marvel-Scribner carb ( Continental z-134, 4 cylinder gas engine).

I have checked the timing & it is at 5 degree...points are set right 21 & good condition....plugs/wires & distributor are good. I use non ethanol premium gas.
The carb has an idle air/gas screw with a spring around it & a larger gas/air mixture screw. I am not a mechanic, however, I try to take care of my baby myself....Don't trust anyone else with her...LOL

I am having a difficult time try to get her to run & idle smoothly...

Thanks very much for your help!!! I hope this helps you.

Welcome to TBN-join the fun:thumbsup:
It's Marvel Schebler. Find the carb number and then google it. You should find the info you need.

Before adjusting the carburetor, you should verify that you have a good spark. Have you checked/replaced the condenser? They can cause the tractor to run rough and have idle problems. It's less likely, but the coil can sometimes do the same.
