Wonder if you can help me figure what's up with my Ferguson TO-30? It sounds like it is missing during idling and frequently dies down like it is going to completely stop running. Its like it is running out of fuel especially when I put a load against it like letting out the clutch to move or while using an attachment like a scrapping blade or bush hog. I have done the following (in the order I have stated) and none have fixed the problem. 1. Cleaned the fuel tank, bowl, lines to carburetor.
2. Purchased a factory rebuilt carb and it did not make a bit of difference in symptoms.
3. Replaced distributor cap, points, plugs and wires.
4. Adjusted timing to best of hearing ability (can't seem to find timing marks)
5. Replaced coil.
6. Haven't had valve cover off to look at valve movement, adjustments, ect. Of course I was confident from the start it was a fuel problem (acting like one to me) so that's why I thought it was a float problem or so with the carb but then it has gotten into a parts changing mode where I cross my fingers that the next thing I try will correct it but it doesn't. Do you have any ideas that may help me out?? I am at the end of my knowledge and patience with this one. Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
