Fuel Problems 1010

Having a persistent issue with the fuel on my 1010. Here's my symptoms:

-Gurgling noise when running. Same sound it makes when I cut off the fuel at the line and it starts to run out. The noise either goes away or is harder to distinguish at high RPM. Tractor will run like this at idle, but if I put it under load (drive around) it'll start trying to quit. A quick choke brings it back no problem.

-I can't get it to idle. It refuses to go below 1000 RPM. It'll quit on me just like i've cut the key off. Every now and then I'll get it to run at idle really randomly, it just decides to work, but it'll either go back up to 1000 rpm on it's own or quit. Really confusing.

What I've tried:

-Cleaned carb in cleaner.. Soaked for the last week and a half in some carb and coke gallon buck I got from advanced auto. Removed and blew out all the passages. Reassembled. I soaked ALL non gasket parts in the cleaner. Bolts and everything.

-Adjusted fuel load needle. Followed the instructions in the manual for adjusting. Revved up to 2400 RPM, screwed in until it started wavering. Screwed out 1 full turn. This seemed to work decently well at high RPM, but again I'm not sure because it's pretty loud.

-Adjusted governer-carb linkage. Not sure if I've done this correctly though.

One other thing I noticed. When I dissasembled the carb this time I followed the service manuals instructions, and I noticed that I seemed to be missing several jets that are supposed to be in the bottom bowl of the carb. They are not shown in the parts diagram on JDParts. I also am missing spring No. 52 in the diagram. Is the parts manual wrong or what's happening here?

I have no clue what to do next. I can't adjust the (not sure what it's called) needle that adjusts how shut the intake can be because if I try and push it all the way down while running she'll quit on me. Any thoughts?

If you remove the fuel line from the carb do you have a solid stream of fule comeing out of it?

Is there a screen on the inlet elbow of the carb that may be plugged?

Carb needs to be rebuilt.

Check the manifold for cracks and holes, alos check the manifold gasket. If it is sucking air then the air to fuel ratio will be off.
 
When you rebuilt the carb did you use a small wire and poke out all the passageways These carb are simple but easy to miss stuff in them and all it takes is one small piece of rust to make a carb not work right. Also if you pull the carb drain plug do you get a good steady flow of gas that will fill a pint jar in under 3 minutes>

Didn't use a wire. I'll try the pint jar thing.
 
On these carb one has to poke out the passageways then spray them out with carb cleaner and then blow them out with air. My self I use a torch tip cleaner tool to poke out the passageways. It is very easy to miss just one little piece of rust and that will cause a lot of problems I poke every thing out 2 or 3 times and spray and blow them out again
 

Update: It took 2:16 to fill the pint jar. Gas flow was steady. Also I drove it around and if I give it half-75% choke it'll run a lot better (No more popping), but full choke kills it.
 
Sounds like the main jet circuit of the carb has some junk in it so you need to clean it out one more time taking the time to poke out the passageways. But before you do that you might try this trick and se if it clears it up. Fire it up with the air cleaner tube off. Take your hand and put it over the air intake. Try to do so in such a way that you do not kill the engine but yet come close. Some times that is enough to pull the junk out of the main jet circuit and make it run like it should

That got it. Cleaned with both the insulated end and stripped end. Went thru twice. Worked like a charm and got it to idle. Still gurgles when going down hill, and every now and again when sitting, but man did that help. Thanks for the suggestion.
 
What got it?? The hand over the intake or poking out the passageways?? Either way always happy to help if and when I can

Sorry, Poking out the passages. I just took a wire, stripped the insulation and then stuck it through. Do you use just a single strand of copper or the full wire? Also do you strip it and use the copper end or just stick the wire w/ the insulation through? Curious in case I have to do it again.
 
Buy your self a torch tip cleaner tool. There not all that thigh priced and come with a good number of size wires that are stronger then a copper wire. That way you can slowly work you way up in size o poke the passage ways out. Most any farm and home place will have them plus most auto parts stores and of course a welder supply place
