Hey guys...first post.<br>
<br>
JD 790 (13-14 year old-600 hours). Do all normal maintenance. Ran my fuel tank dry 12-15months ago. Filled with good fresh fuel and installed new battery . Fired right up, but throttle control had no effect on RPMs, which went to max (2500ish) and stayed there despite throttle position for about 15 seconds, then slowly and steadily decreased until it just shut off. Pulled side cover, cleaned and lubricated linkage, Fuel filter had little use and looked good, but I replaced it anyway and cleaned (barely dirty) air filter.<br>
<br>
The dash lights come on normally,It CLICKS very loud and the starter cranks likes it's brand new. But it will not fire. Not a lick.<br>
<br>
I cycled all the levers and switches several times, checked the one under the seat (positionally, not electrically).<br>
<br>
Any ideas? Poor as a church mouse and had a little cutting job would have provided a couple of desperately needed Benjamins. <br>
<br>
Bought the battery and downloaded a repair manual with that in mind, but now I'm just stuck and she is mad and cancelled job...sigh. City folks.<br>
<br>
Still need a working tractor out here Could really use some help.<br>
