Posted this earlier---now it is gone from the forum. Got a 52 N, side mount of course. Not long ago I put on a new gas tank, had some rust in tank. New sediment bowl-shut off devise It ran ok for awhile, then it started acting like it was running out of gas. I drilled a small hole in gas cap to vent, no help. Finally I had a local tractor place re-build carb. They adjusted points and timing too. It ran ok for awhile, then I put new plugs and plug wires. Used Autolite plugs as advised here. Never started and ran so good in the 10 years I've owned it. That was last fall. Today, I started it--started good, but soon was acting like it was running out of gas. The carb bottom plug pou8rs gas out good, the inlet fitting ]was removed to check that screen--slick as a whistle. The tractor now will run to limp it back from where I was if the choke is 1/2 out. It is a mess. Anyone want a cheap tractor? haha, would like to get her going again. I adjusted the jets on carb for 15 minutes, no good, it just acts like water in tank, or plugged up someplace. Hope you have an idea. Thank you. This is really a nice tractor actually.
