Hey Paul

Gotta be something in the fuel path I'd think; I got a 420 & up to now
(= warm weather; didn't have it last winter) I hafta choke it full to
start but with just a little warm up (maybe a minute?) no need for
choke.  Had another old tractor (Case with updraft carb) that acted
similar to what you describe; never checked it out before trading it off
but one guy suggested possibility of a dirt dauber nest hidden in the
intake manifold?  Long shot but only idea I can think of with rebuilt
carb & new gaskets.

My Name is Paul Waugh, live in Northern Indiana.  I have  been around
tractors all my life, having worked/lived on farm until I went to
college.  I joined this list in hopes of solving a 14 year old problem.
I have a 1956 model 420 John Deere.  I have always had to run full
choke, I put up with it for years, but after over hauling the engine, I
want it to run like it is supposed to run.  The carb has been boiled and
rebuilt, with new after market parts. The parts came from Burry Carbs in
the Ft Wayne, IN area.  The tractor will start with full choke, then
after warming up and on idle, choke can ‘opened’, but as soon as I
increase throttle to the main jet, full choke is needed.  I have not
checked for air leaks.  I did use all new gaskets during rebuild.  I am
open to suggestions or ideas to try.

 

I have been around ATIS on small engine list (off and on) for 6- 7
years.  My brother and I were very welcome in Portland this year at the
tractor list camp.  We ate well hahaha
