Hi all!
Like the title says I've got an IH 574 with the gas c200 engine and a TSX 959 carburetor. About 6 months ago the tractor would start popping when it went under load and then a lot of cases would almost gag itself completely out. I went to looking for what happened and I haven't found anything. I've rebuilt the carburetor three times, verified played with the timing at least three different times, I put a new head gasket on it because a couple of the bolts had loosened and I did see a little bubble come out once. I put a new coil on, I put new wires on, I switched back and forth between a new electronic and new mechanical ignition, I ran new wires to the coil and from the switch to the starter solenoid, and I've replaced the spark plugs three times because they foul out rather quickly Now. I put a new air filter in, I put new boots to the carburetor, new gaskets on the intake and new gaskets between the carburetor and the intake. I run only clean not ethanol higher octane gas. There is a problem with the carburetor that I've not been able to solve and that's that it will drip a little if you don't shut the gas off. I've tried multiple needles and seats and it still does the same thing which drives me crazy. It doesn't drip while you're running it. Just when it's sitting and shut off after a while a drip will form.
So in the end I seemingly have good electric, good ignition, good air flow, good gas going to the pump and pumping like crazy, and I've got a carburetor that's clean and the damn thing still will barely start most of the time. If you do get it started and pull back on the throttle it'll gag itself out all the while popping and spitting and sputtering and carrying on. I should also note that the engine was completely rebuilt 400 hours ago.
Anyone have any ideas aside from pushing this thing into a ditch? I was going to post a video but I can't even get it started. I'll try again later after I clean the plugs again.
