I have a 1958 641 that will run for a few minutes and begin to sputter and eventually die. I just replaced pretty much the entire ignition system (it previously had resistor core plug wires, I replace those with copper core wires). It does start and run better now until it begins to sputter. Sometimes if I give the carb a few smacks with a soft face hammer, it will clear up. It seems that the float may be sticking. I got this tractor from my 80 year old father Whois not able to use it anymore. He had a tractor collector work on it a couple of years before I got it and supposedly, he rebuilt the carb. I thought maybe I d take the car off and go through it again and when I checked the model number on the carb, it was a TSX 428 which, from my research was not for the 601 series. It was for Jubilee through 600 series. I m wondering if the guy that worked on it just swapped out the carb for another that doesn t belong on this tractor. Should I look for an original model for this tractor or rebuild the one on it. It appears that there are a couple of models that went on this series tractor and how do I know which one should be on it?
