My 841 hesitates when I throttle up. I replaced the plugs with AL 437 new cap, rotor points and condenser and wires coil. Rebuilt the carburetor
and went through it a few times checking all the ports and float. The float does have a small dent but no holes. Compression is good Dry 115
120 130 130 Wet 120 125 140 145 . The valve sound a little noises . I was just out in the barn and found the timing to be set at 8 BTDC and
there was a white mark at 8 so I retimed it to 4. Sounds great starts right up but still coughs when I throttle up. I also disconnected the throttle
and governor linkage and moved the throttle butterfly by hand and the governor does move. I haven?t had a chance to take it out and see if
stalls under load pouring rain and I am sick as a dog. . It came with a new Zenith on the tractor but i never ran it with it on to many leaks. It also
came with the original MS so I rebuilt it next step is to switch carburetors. I will take all the help I can get. Thanks in advance
