I went to start my old 105 Deere combine the other day and it fired and ran for a short time then slowly faltered and died. I was running the choke and throttle the way I have for the past thirty one years but I couldn't keep her going.
Normal protocol is slightly forward on the throttle and full choke till she fires then no choke till she starts faltering, then 3/4 choke for a few seconds and then slowly off with the choke. If it doesn't get absolute full choke it won't start, plain and simple.
She just would not fire. Put the jumpers on her, let her sit a few minutes, cranked till the battery slowed down, repeated the process multiple times, said some words, didn't help.
Now those of you who have run the old 105-95-55's know the throttle and choke are identical levers that are side-by -side. After a half hour of trying I finally looked down at the levers for the first time in years and found out I was running the choke like the throttle and the throttle like it was the choke. I felt more than stupid! Got things together and she popped right off. I hadn't looked down at those two levers for years because I didn't need to-till now. Jim
