My 1995 JD STX38 Black Deck riding mower has an issue with the slow idle. Always ran fine before now & runs perfect at fast idle. I thought at first it was the gaskets between the engine and carburetor but they are okay. It has the black adjustment needle on the side. What I found is the throttle shaft has a lot of movement in the carburetor body. I believe it is sucking air and maybe that is the problem. I am wondering if the body can be bored out and a bushing put in to take care of the slop if possible. I checked JD Parts and parts are available. A new carburetor is available for $124.00. Any advice and/or assistance how to proceed with this is appreciated.
