The original subject was "Re: 706 Gas stumbles and dies under load.".
I know the post is old but maybe this will help someone like me, I
have a 1963 706 gas with the 263 engine. My tractor was a jewel of a
barn find with only 1642 original hours on it, this one began to cut out
intermittently and stumble, sometimes rough idle, sometimes black
smoke, about 25 hours ago, I replaced the fuel line, sediment bowl,
added an in-line filter, rebuilt the carb, and had the fuel tank cleaned
and lined, so I know my fuel system is top notch, I run ethanol free 93
octane in it also. My timing is set at 18 degrees advance at 2300
rpm, (my tractor still pinged a little at 20). I checked my ignition
system first and was glad I did, my condenser inside the distributor
was grounded out internally, causing my points to ground out
intermittently as well. Changed the condenser and BAM! Back to
business.
