I keep reading over and over again in different forums of how the gas version of 3020 has problems with starting and wouldn't start easy, or after it started, it wouldn't run or idle smoothly, or after it warmed up, it would die, etc, etc and etc. I also read where people would spend hundreds of dollars and take to a Deere dealer and still it won't run right.
I have been looking for a 3020 gas, but the more I read, this it kinds of scares me that maybe this is not a tractor I want.
My question here is, did the 3020 gas have some sort of real inherent problem with the ignition system or the carburation that just made it impossible to run correctly, or is it just the fault of people who don't know how to tune it correctly and adjust it correctly?
I know the aluminum carbs were problems, but I read that even after people invest in a zenith carb , still they have problems.
Also another question I have is.... What is a balancer , and how do you know if it is bad? I read this is a inherent problem in these tractors.
