[AT] Tractor Question - 420 JD

[Paul Waugh]

Thanks for the replies.  It is good to know that at least it is the right 
one.  I have cleaned with carb cleaner and blown out several times over the 
15 years I have owned it.. I took it to the place that Dennis Polk uses, and 
had it boiled and new jets, still same thing.  I had heard of the place in 
IA and was thinking of trying them.  About a vacuum leak, I did a ring job 2 
years ago, and used all new gaskets, so it should not be leaking air. I did 
use the same manifold, so if it is wrapped, then I would have the same 
problem.

I will keep plugging away, thanks again
