Been sitting in shed for 2 to 3 years. Haven't got the chance to tinker with this one much, but this is what I got. Put in fresh gas. Pull started it. Took awhile for it to fire over but it did. It just does not run long and dies. About long enough to stop, get off the tractor and close the petcocks, and it sputters and dies shortly there after. Done this several times focusing on a fuel problem. The last time it died, I am pretty dang certain it wasn't a fuel problem at carb. Maybe not 100%, but close to it. Unscrewed the valve and had a pretty good stream of gas out the bottom of carb immediately after it died. And you could see gas circulating in the sediment bowl when it was running. Any chance this problem could be on the mag side? Going to tinker with it some more at some point. Any thoughts or help appreciated. 1 more thing, it seems to run pretty good when it is running. No miss, etc.
