I did adjust the linkage so that it does come to a hard stop. The engine was not fully warm and it started to run a bit ragged when set below 700. So I thought I would warm it up fully before setting the idle speed and mixture.

Where are you located in the UK? I worked for an English pharmaceutical company and spent a good part of my working life in the UK, mostly in Kent but also at sites near Welwyn, and Cork, Ireland etc. I never saw a Ferguson in Ireland but I saw many in Kent . I used to go to the plowing matches and Fergusons were always well represented there.

You do need to get it hot before you set the carb as that is how the engine works "hot" so you need to set it at working temperature, if you do it when it is not fully hot it will change its tune as it gets hotter. If it starts to run ragged as you say, check for air leaks at the carb mounting and the manifold to head gasket. Unless it is an ignition fault, what you think about that..I live in the North West of the UK between Liverpool and Manchester used to be lots of grey Ferguson around here. You surprise me that you didn't see any in Ireland, there are a lot there now you only have to look at the Forums to see how many questions come from there.
