Ok. So I got some new plugs and charged the battery. Starts right up w/out choke.
Since I messed with the governor/carb/control lever linkages I noticed 1) that the engine is running a bit smoother and faster
2) that the idle can go so slow that the engine is almost stopping 3) that the little butterfly lever (lever F in the JD Service manual) is going trough a greater range of motion than before, however, not its complete range of motion
Also, one bad thing seems to be that it makes some black smoke, which it didn't before.
Figuring that the black smoke was too rich of a fuel-air mixture, I adjusted the carb needle in (clockwise) expecting I would eventually starve the engine and it would stall. I turns out that I screwed the needle in until it would go no further with a goodly amount of torque from a screwdriver and it still produced black smoke (not a whole lot, but more than before, when it only made black smoke briefly when choke-started). Does this mean I should replace the little parts inside the carb (I bought a kit to do this)? Should I mess around the the relationship between the control lever, carb lever, and the governor control arm more?
