if water in fuel what it do..
mine start run and shut off then hard to started.. we change every thing out dist that didn't help ..
change out carb still the same ..change point condenser wire cap still .. i used a fuel stab to keep gas fresh i might not have mix right too.
then how much water thy use gas to California fuel for EPA . because of fuel injection the motor today spraying fuel in to engine they can used a little water
why ask because all 4 of my gas tractor are starting to act the same way
 
How old is the gas??? Now days gas can and will go bad after 30 days or so. It absorbs water from the air because of the alcohol in it and then the alcohol evaporates and leave the water behind. But that is also what the sediment bowl is for and of you have water in the gas you should see to different colors of liquid in the sediment bowls. As with any thing you check your spark and then fuel it could be either one
 
fuel for all that tractor that had problem it was red be stab gas additive was add and sun beating on turn color

Water in the gas can cause all kinds of odd problems that you will be chasing. They can pop, miss, stumble, hard start, etc.

I stabilize my gas so the reddish color is normal. Unless I'm missing something, the gas in the last pic had water in it. Gas will "float" on top of water. That's the job of your sediment bowl.

Put fresh gas in it and see.
 
we did and it ran for about five minutes and quit
so we Thur out bad gas today 8 gallon we but 4 new
gallon in it ran for 5 to 10 minute and quit still
puzzle ?
 
Now days Stable is about worthless in the gas due to the alcohol so yes likely to have water in it.
