Steve, I am relatively new to this, but I have a '41 and a '48 Modle "B". I have been reading this forum and "Rummy's John Deere Bulletin Board" for several months now. From my own experience and from what I have read, I think you still may have a carburator problem. One of the most consistent problems that I have read about is from people who have had their carburetors "rebuilt by a professional". For some reason, many people continue to have problems after sending their carburetor out for repair, and assume it can't be the carburetor, because it was just rebuilt. Many times it turns out that the rebuilt carburetor IS the problem, because the "professional" did not do the job correctly. (The exception to this rule is 'Robert's Carburetors', I have heard only good things about his work and his company.) I am not saying that is the case in your situation, but it sounds to me like the problem is still with carburetion. You will undoubtably get more help on this from other people who are much more knowledgeable than I, and I would heed their advice over mine, but I just wanted to share my thoughts. I rebuilt the carburetor on my '41, and it is now working fine. I had a lot of help from these forums, and learned a lot by working on the carburetor myself. (I did it myself out of financial desperation. A "professional" wanted $85 plus parts, which I guesstimated would be another $85. I really didn't have a choice but to give it a shot myself!) Anyway, those are my ramblings, for what they are worth, have fun and let us know how you make out.
Gary
