I used my D-17 today to mow hay, the first time I've used it full throttle on pump gas containing ethanol. It ran fine for the first half hour until it got well warmed up (180) and then it started to sputter. I found it would run ok with the choke half closed. When I finished, I let it idle for a few minutes and then it would run ok with the choke closed. I haven't touched the carburetor, but the tractor has run fine when working at lower rpm's. Has anyone else experienced this? Could the gasahol be the culprit? My source for farm gas can no longer get ethanol free gas, I have not yet filled my tank.
