[AJD] JD LA carb kit

[JDNut at aol.com]

Greetings,
I went to start my cute little 1945 John Deere LA tractor over the weekend 
and gas was flooding out of the carb.   Tapping the carb slowed, but did not 
stop the leak.   I haven't actually looked at the needle valve yet, but had hoped 
that I could buy the needle valve kit through Deere.   Deere has the gaskets 
for the carb, but none of the needle valve or carb kit numbers seem to be 
valid anymore.   When I was in Santa Maria, I can remember some carb kits in bags 
on the shelves.   My guy at Fernbridge now hasn't heard of them.   Any help on 
a source of needle valves for the Marvel-Schebler TSX-85 carb would be 
appreciated.    BTW, the float seemed OK, I have had them with holes in the past.

Thanks in advance, take care,
John Maxwell
