Paul, In my 40 years plus experience, your trouble is in the carb. 99% sure. 
Not to reflect on your work or your local carb shop but I'd bet the tractor 
that the problem is in the carb. I have a 630 Std that as been in the family 
since day one. Dad always complained about the lack of power but never did 
anything about it. Always used the choke to make it run. I found that the 
center jet was broke and probably was since birth. It works fine now. If you 
want to get it right I can fully endorse Robert's Carb. Repair. Not that 
others can't but you pay your $$$ and take your chances. I'm located not too 
far north from you. About 2 hours north of the Indiana/Michigan line.  Good 
Luck.  John Grant

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



TX Paul
