Issues with JD 425 running

13 years ago

I have a JD 425 that just started giving issues with running (acted like it was out of gas). It will now just run barely as long as I run the choke up around half way. It normally starts with the choke on and after 15-20 secs I can turn it completely off. I changed the fuel filter, no luck.

Any help will be appreciated.

JD: Have you inspected the Carb for any fuel related restrictions. You may have picked up some Bad Fuel either moisture or debris. . You may have to disassemble for internal cleaning of the fuel inlet and associated jet circuits. You can try Carb Cleaning Solutions mixed 2-3 ounces within new fresh fuel 1st if you wish prior to actual carb dis-assembly , if Tractor has been in use frequently . The problem may be small gelling or gumming instead of more difficult varnish build up issue from a extended storage period.

There is something caught in one of the jets... disassemble the carb and clean it.
