JD B carb

I have a 1950(or close) B that we just restarted after sitting for 10 years. It fired right up (thankfully it was properly stored) but only runs at one rpm. Expect the carb needs servicing due to being gummed up and plugged after sitting for so long. What's the best resource - book, rebuild kit, parts source - to use if one hasn't rebuilt one of these before? I'm assuming I'm heading in the right direction by going after the carb.

JCook, are you sure it is the carb? Is the governor trying to adjust the speed or is the carb throttle shaft not moving? If you can move the throttle lever on top of the carb by hand & the speed doesn't change it is probably the carb. If you move the throttle lever on the carb & the speed changes through all speeds it is probably the governor, linkage or some other malfunction in the throttle control system. As for working on the carb, it depends on you expertise with tools & basic repair knowledge of carburetors. If you are fairly competent with mechanical things you can get help on this board or I have been told there is a good video out on J.D. carb repair (I haven't seen the video but I'm sure someone posting here has seen it & can tell you where to get it & how good it is).

When you mentioned that it operated at one speed, it reminded me of when I drove home a 1947 B that had been sitting a few years. It also only ran at one speed, not very fast. The problem turned out to be water in the oil bath air cleaner. It ran fine once that was fixed.
Hope this helps.
