Tips for tuning a techy carb?

Ok guys I need your expertise again.

I managed to get a techy running.

But the carb definitely needs to be tuned. the information that I was able to find is vague at best. So if anyone has any tips or tricks please let me know.

And please go into details because remember your talking to a humidification engineer. So talking to me like I'm ignorant to the subject is perfect. ex: "the little screw with a spring on the left side is your ________ adjustment screw". That is perfectly fine for me and would be very beneficial.

Thanks in advanced guys.

Oh yeah it would help to let you know what engine I'm working with here. It is a 6 hp techy. I believe the tag reads HH60.

Well without ever hearing a Techy run, I think I got it close.

When I put the tractor in gear is sounds as if the engine is going to stall out under the load of the tranny. I'm afraid if I put the deck back on it, its not going to be able to handle the load of the deck as well.

Any thoughts?

AJ I'm no techy pro, but have you checked the governor linkage yet? That could cause stalling issues under load. Just a thought, good luck.

Yup. Spins free.

I think I might just have an old tired Techy. Is that even possible?

Good point never checked. Wouldn't I have issues with acceleration as well though? (really I have no idea, I'm guessing here )

I would have no idea how to check. I will learn one day though. I would imagine its decent to the point were it will run and accelerate.

If the governor is working properly it should try to maintain RPM's under load. Watch the throttle linkage to the carb and see if it moves on it's own when a load is applied.
