In Reply to: JD 316 carb problem, hydro problem? posted by Eric on Sunday, May 04, 2008:
I'll answer the second question first. The hydro does not return to neutral when you press the brake pedal. The previous model 120 and 140 did have that feature, but it was not carried on to the 300 series.
Now, running on choke tells me that your carb needs to be adjusted to run a little richer on fuel. Back the high speed adj. screw out 1/8 of a turn at a time until it runs with no choke (after it's warmed up of course!) By the way, I own the exact same tractor, bought it new in '79 as a left over and it has been an amazingly strong and reliable tractor for me with well over 2000 hours on it. I hope you enjoy yours as well
