I have a model 60 John Deere, Gas. It has me absolutely stumped. Ran perfectly before the below happened
Situation:
A few weeks ago, accidentally ran it out of gas, when it ran out, it had two very loud backfires. Re-filled the tank with clean, fresh gas, just cranks, no fire. So took carb apart, cleaned, rebuilt the carb, installed new screens in the fuel lines after flushing them out, new float, new needle valve. Still nothing, so replaced the plugs, coil and plug wires. Still nothing. Getting plenty of fuel to the carb, plugs do have spark.
Just checked timing, all timing marks line up. So I'm out of ideas. Best I can get it to do is pop a couple of times and occasionally try to run on its own for about 5-10 to seconds. I've played with the needle screws trying to get it, nothing. Suggestions?
