Ever feel like a complete moron?

[H2O_Fowl]

I have an old allis chalmers D17 tractor that I mow the pasture with and the old girl was in need of a carb rebuild. Anyways, I get a kit saturday and rebuild the carb on sunday. Get it back on and adjust it per the instructions. Crank and crank until the battery goes dead. So I think Hmmm WTH....... Charge the battery over night and tonight it starts right up. Only will idle, dies and bellows black smoke when I give it gas. WTH, right? So I let it idle and adjust the idler screw and it seems to idle a little smoother now. Rev it up same thing, wants to die and bellow black smoke. So ok its running rich obviously. For some unknown reason I push the choke to the "choke" position and wahlaaa, runs perfect!!! Doesn't die when I rev it up or bellow any black smoke.

Hooked the damn choke up backwards when I put it back together apparantly.

Took it out for a spin and its running like a top. Live and learn huh........

See Jack, unless you make some subtle changes like you did on that old tractor it wouldn't have run better, same principal with the 10'' worms, try the DR. Destructos couldn't help it, this was too easy
