Hi everyone. My 1965 Deere 2010 (gas) runs just fine except in one specific situation: Downhills while under load.
What happens is that I'll be pulling along with my 3 point disc and everything is fine. Even in soft ground where the engine labors a bit everything runs great.
But I get to any downhill and as I pull down the hill you know how it is, the tractorpicks up a little speed "pushing" against the gear instead of pulling. Then at the bottom half of the hill, the engine starts to stutter like it's starving for fuel. If I push the clutch in and stop the tractor, the engine then recovers and off I go again.
If I use the next lower gear, the issue happens less. It's like the downhill run is causing the engine to over-run the fuel supply, but it can't be that because if the supply was partially blocked, it would die under HEAVY load.
It happens in exactly the same place every time it happens. Every round, it does this ONLY on a downhill part of the round.
I was thinking maybe tweaking the load adjustment screw, but then it seems that it's not doing this under heavy loads, it's more under a light load. What else could it be?
Anyone have any idea what might be going on here?
Many thanks.
