You stated the carb specs on this chart are for 1976 John Deeres, does anyone know if this chart would be accurate for 1977 carb specs as well? If not, does anyone out there have carb specs for a 1977 440 Kioritz Liquifire?

Any luck finding carb specs for the 77 Kioritz 440 Liquifire? My 77 440 Liquifire currently has a 3.0 cut out on it's throttle valves and I'm thinking I should be using a 2.0 or 2.5 cut out, any suggestions? A parts dealer I talked to said he thought I should be running a 2.0 cut out but wasn't sure because he only had specs for a 340cc? I'm running 210 Main jets and size 30 pilot jets on a freshly rebuilt engine and am trying to get this sled back to as close to stock running condition as possible. I would appreciate any advise I can get on this.

Thank you for your help! I spent some time searching for this information and this site provided the most accurate information I could obtain, thanks again with snow in the forecast I'm looking forward to some healthy rides on my rejuvenated old John deere!
