I have a JD 520 gas tractor that ran well for several years, but sat without starting since early 2013. Well I started it up recently and it only started with great difficulty, and then had some pretty nasty backfires. I posted on this site and following some advice, drained the crankcase. What came out was a gas-oil mix that came within 3” of a 5-gallon bucket!
Someone suggested that the culprit was bad sediment bowl diaphragms. I bought an “automatic sediment bowl repair kit” (diaphragms, sediment bowl screen, sediment bowl gasket and valve seat washer), but I haven’t installed any of those pieces yet. I wanted to confirm that this was likely the problem, as well as ask whether there is anything else I should as I make the repair, replace the oil, gas it up, start, etc.
