    Deere 1020 carb flooding while running

    My old TSX904 is at least 45 years old (My Deere is 1966) is I bought the tractor in 1979 and my new carb TSX904 a month ago. No screen on either carb. No place in the carb to fit and stake a screen either. M S manufacture.

    Old and new carb have slotted plugs. I can see screw threads on old carb. No sintered screen on inside of either carb. New carb screw is brass.

    Deere 1020 carb flooding while running

    Thought they were screws - both are slotted. I have the old MS one that I removed and a new MS one I put one (non solenoid type load screw). How would the gas drip out?

    Yes, if it is unscrewed. One in old carb is very tight -I haven't really tried to take either out. I had just loosen inlet hose when flooding occured. Good place for a drain valve!

    Deere 1020 carb flooding while running

    Thanks! I will take it down and bath it. It is a 1966 and never been cleaned - that I know of. Sure hope it won't be my new carb! (maybe I will put a valve on bottom of carb to empty gas if it happens again). Appreciate the help!

    Deere 1020 carb flooding while running

    Yes, I meant choke disc. As the Carb is new, I too, wondered if air flow might be restricted. HOW EVER, my 1020 has the oil bath filter (I had already cleaned out bottom cup and replace oil. Neither the Op manual nor the service manual cleaning the wire filter element. What is your opinion on...

    Deere 1020 carb flooding while running

    That was a good idea! I had hose made up yesterday at HSC with the fittings crimped on.

    Installing new 1020 fuel tank problems

    Yep! Fuel hose it shall be! Years ago I looked at a new JD (assembled in India? I believe - except for engine) - It had plastic hydraulic lines running underneath! Thanks for your help!

    Installing new 1020 fuel tank problems

    Whoa! Thanks for the heads up! I just checked mine - I will have .5" clearance. Distance from radiator fill measures OK. Finally, I could not find new fuel line (tank outlet .5" further rear and steel fuel line doesn't wish to "shorten". Any idea who carries new steel line or do I just go with a...

    Installing new 1020 fuel tank problems

    Other major supplier. I haven't made any mods. Will call them. I could get a braided hose made and if I cut down the length of the tee grips that would probably cure that. Major concern is the upper right hand side bolt up. Thanks for your response!

    Installing new 1020 fuel tank problems

    Purchased new steel tank for my 1020. Some problems installing: 1) Fuel outlet is located further toward rear of tractor by about 1/2". Cannot open/close valve and the fuel line to fuel pump cannot be attached (that is one stiff line!) 2) Upper bolt holes for bolting to cowl are too high by...
