In Reply to: Fuel for my JD H posted by Nicholas C on May 05, 2022 at 04:00:50:
I have ran my H on # 2 diesel before. It ran fine on it but my JD A did not but it runs fine on kerosene. Mixture screws usually need some extra adjusting to fine tune them. So they may not all run the same. Some don't like the smell ? I don't mind it and can even adjust it to blow smoke rings. I was just doing this as an experiment. However on the A I was plowing one time and was running out of gas and switched the valve to kerosene while running right down the furrow. I could not tell the difference in power only noticed the smell of the exhaust smelled like a kerosene heater. I also tried this on my early all fuel B which does have gas pistons in it. I can tell you for sure do not do that ! It ran ok just sitting running , but the instant it had any load on it at all like a slight grade in the driveway it knocked terrible and I couldn't shut it down fast enough ! ( disclaimer ) That is the results of my experiments yours might be different.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
