What size and threads is the nut that screws on the elbow with a strainer that is screwed into carburetor? It looks like 1/4" tubing but only goes on about 1 turn before tighting up which is not enough to compress the ferrule.

Is too much of the tubing sticking out past the ferrule keeping it from tightening up?

No. The threads just don't feel right. Have not even tried it with a piece of tubing yet. It looks like pipe threads but the John Deere manual shows it as a compression fitting on that end. The end with the strainer is 1/8 pipe threads.
