Had been discing with my 706 gasoline tractor today for an hour or so, running fine just like always, when it sputtered a couple of times and then just smothered out. Seemed like a fuel problem to me, so I checked for a good flow to the carb. Had it. Couldn't get the small drain plug out of the bottom(square head rounded off) but did remove the fuel solenoid valve and had flow out there. After sitting, tractor will start and run only a second or two then die. Could it be the solenoid valve gone bad? What do they do when going bad? Stick in the "shut off" position or what? Don't know what else it could be. Anyone got any ideas?
