I have a 3010 gas where the carburetor has been an issue for the last year. A fuel line filter was added; the tractor had sat. This helped and for awhile the tractor ran "ok". On an occasion or two the float seems to have stuck, or at least the problem was solved by tapping the carb. Now the carb. seems to be really overloading with fuel and no amount of tapping helps.
I took the carb off today thinking I would buy a kit to rebuild it. The JD RE528752 (different number than you will find on line) kit is $97.
I also notice on the JD site many of the parts for a Zenith carb. are NLA. Here are my questions:
1. What is your experience with the JD kit? Do the parts contained in the kit satisfy the need to refurbish that carb.? Or, will I be faced with needing additional NLA parts?
2. A rebuild from All States Parts ASAP is $750 minus, I assume, a $200 core. Might this be a better route than the $97 rebuild kit or is the $97 route equally good.
I would appreciate comments and suggestions. Paul
