Wondering if anyone has ever had there 8n sputter and ALMOST stall when making right turns. The tractor runs like a top going straight, but if you make a right turn it sputters.....doesn't shut off just sputters. It seems to be worse if the tractor is under load, like if I'm bush hogging.

Thanks.
 
Do you live north or south of the equator? The effect of global rotation will cause that........

Or, it might be that your float is hanging upon the side of the carb bowl.

Lets see which of these theories gets the most support!

I think its global rotation. It also sounds like it might be the rotorless distributer that we were talking about on here at one time, maybe global warming too ;)
 
I love to have a little fun, but I'm going to go with Bruce's
rubbing float theory. I have actually seen that before.
It's usually not instant though, it takes a bit for it to happen.
Running the mower would make it worse as it would be needing
more gas to keep the RPMs and power up.
Only takes a little slop in the pin, mount or float to make it touch.
