My grad pals JD 1010 fer as long as I kin remember would stop in the field and you had to drag it in. I guess he would fiddle with it and go back to bush hog’in till it would stall again, it may be 6 mouths but the problem of stall’in out would show back up and he would run it till it had to be drug back in. My uncle owns it now and has had the same problem. He told me it all started when the fuel cap wuz lost and a rag used as a temporary cap. He claim’s he kin not find a rag in the tank. It stalled and I drug it in and when I got time I took a mag lite and could see what looked like a fiberglass lined bottom in the tank. I took a wire and fished out a red shop rag that look like the day it wuz made. It wuz lay’in the bottom of the tank pretty as kin be and did not look like a red shop rag in the tank. After I removed the sediment bowl it did not have a screen (BTW he had 2 bowls back to back) I then cleaned the carb, no inlet filter to be found. I still could not figger why it would starve fer fuel till I wuz git’in ready to replace the needle and seat. I looked at the seat and it appeared to have lint in it. You could see lite thru it but could not blow thru it. It wuz red lint off the rag and acted like a filter till it stoped up the inlet but two big to pass.
