Hi All. I've been scouring the forum here looking for a possible solution for my tractor.
The tractor ran well when I last used it several years ago. I cleaned it up recently to do some tilling in the garden and it ran well for about 15 minutes.
After that it started popping and sputtering when I engaged the tiller (pto) and put it in gear. As soon as the tiller hits the dirt, the tractor dies unless you put the clutch in.
I have replaced the points, condenser, rotor, cap and coil. Same symptoms. I have drained the carburetor and fuel lines and put fresh fuel in it. At one point after I shut the tractor down, fuel dripped out of the air intake on the carb. I shut down the fuel, drained everything and hooked it back up. Had to tap on the carb to get it stopped and then the tractor started again.
I'm not sure what I am missing. Timing? Carb issue.
