1959 John Deere 95 combine!

...It is still running rich for some reason, I don't know why. So we need to mess with the carb, and try to get it straightened out.

-RPM set correctly at operating temp?
-Mixture needle not bent or worn?
-Accelerator/boost pump (if fitted) working properly?
-Choke fully open?

The choke cable is messed up and I haven't had time to mess with it, I will unhook it and wire the choke open and see if that helps. It could be partially closed, good thinking, I hate it when I miss something simple! LOL
We haven't rebuilt to carb on this yet, so far it hasn't needed it. This actually has the same carb as several pickups made in the same time, so that makes parts easier to get.

If you haven't rebuilt the carb, and the cable isn't the issue, pull out the mixture valve. I've seen a LOT of issues resulting from needle valves worn too much, bent, threads stripped, etc. Hopefully the cable, as that's an easy fix.

Even a carb rebuild isn't a big deal, we have rebuilt lots of carbs through the years.

Totally get that; on a unit like that one, it's probably a 20 minute job and will take longer to get off the manifold than to rebuild it. Just suggesting the needle valve as another possible culprit.

I will need to buy a new gallon can of carb soak, a few weeks ago I was walking past and noticed a puddle around it. The dang can spring a leak in the house!!! Thank it was on an unfinished floor that is just plywood. that was a waist of money, stupid cheap can. I am going with a different brand next time.
