[Farmall] F- 20

[farmall36 at vci.net]

Tony,, our F-20 just would idle  no throttle.  Take the cap off where the 
throttle rod goes into carb  Spray a can or 2 into the hole, then put qa 
small cresent wrench on the carb rod goingand esay now try to move it until 
you can move it by hand. Have you checked the gov spring  ? make sure it 
aint broken.
I gant tell ya any more now, because my throttle works now, might still 
stick a bit.  But mines running like CRAP
And I cant figure whays going on ? appears to be a bit out of tim although I 
didnt do anything to the timing.
Will let yall kno afterwhile.
Kevin
