When I use my two bottom plow the engine hesistates, spits and sputters. When I push in the clutch the engine takes a few seconds to come back to normal. Sounds like its out of time when pulling the plow. When it is not under load the engine seems to run fine. I have read the manual but I thought someone may have had the same problem and could give me some help

Thanks.

I have a similiar problem, though maybe not as bad. I checked my point gap and it was too close, That helped, but now I have spark knock. (I want to check my timing and can't find a gage to check the mark to around the crank. So I posted the questions behind yours.) But it sounds like a timing problem, but start at the points. The three pointers on tune ups around page 6 deal with this.

I had the same problem while roto tilling. The engine ran fine but would sputter and buck under load. I thought it might be fuel starved. I wasn't sure where the problem was so here is what I did..

1) I adjusted the carb to richin the fuel mix.

2) Next I disconnected the fuel inlet to the carb. The screen was clogged. I cleaned it. When I opened the fuel valve all I got was a trickle. So I worked backwords.

3) I dissassembled the fuel valve and bowl and cleaned both. Then I drained the tank and removed the valve assembly from the tank. The little inlet screen was clogged and so was the top draw gas inlet. I cleaned it all out.

Turns out that the problem wasn't any one peice but a little of all of these.

When I put it all back together it ran great and worked great under load. I also found out that I get much better gas flow while the valve is open full (reserve) even after cleaning.

Good Luck.
