Mowed my 10 acre pasture today. Had to pull it to get it running after it died at least 4 times. Mess with the choke to keep it from dying more times than I can count. Some observations. When it acts like it is starving for fuel, but removing the plug on the bottom of the carb shows a steady fuel stream, then it ain't starving for fuel. There isn't much in a in a motor that can work for a while then not work for a few seconds then start working again except the valves. One or more sticking. One or more not fully closing. So it really needs a complete valve job.
I have used the tractor for 17 years, and put over 400 hours on it. Paid $2300 so I think I have probably got my money's worth out of it. I am retiring to Florida in less than a year so I think I will just sell this tractor for whatever I can get for it and use my neighbors next spring to mow one more time if I am even still here.
