I have posted this in the Deere John section a couple times but still have not been able to get the answer I need.Short version: I recently got a 2020 JD been setting for years, wouldn't run. PLugs, points, cap, rotor - it started but wouldn't accelerate. Pulled fuel screen in side of carb, plugged with rust. Drained gas tank, cleaned out carb with carb cleaner (barnyard repair, you understand) put new screen and gaskets in carb. It started, ran good and got almost home before it died and would not accelerate again. Drained tank, cleaned out rust good, coated it with Red Kote. Blew out fuel lines, cleaned carb and screen again. Still won't accelerate unless you EAAAASE it up slowly. Lots of black smoke coming out the stack. Cleaned and lightly lubed the centrifugal weights in distributor, checked points, plugs, etc. again. The carb has disconnected fuel cutoff solenoid. I understand they were mostly problematic and most guys took them off (Especially since they're almost $200 to replace). I tried to buy a rebuilt carb from YT and they are out. But the picture of that carb shows what looks to be an adjustable jet in the place where my solenoid is. Where do I get such a part (YT says they don't have them)? How do I adjust the carb (where exactly is the main jet)? Thanks for your help, I'm not a carburetor jockey, obviously.
