Have you looked at your intake manifold gaskets? I have had to mill down the manifold on every tractor I have had. The gaskets on a WD don't seem to hold up all that well, and the exhaust ports tend to gas cut around the leaky gaskets. I have seen a lot of them that were not properly cleaned off of the intake ports, with a new gasket installed it can create a vacuum leak. Test for it with a squirt can of oil around the intake ports and see if it settles down. (I usually use a squirt can with gas in it) I also have found, just this year, a hard shell bug stuck in the internal passages of the sediment bowl, above the shut off screw, that was severely impeding the flow of gas. Take off the fuel line at the carb and verify a steady stream of gas. HTH
