Today I was showing my wife how to shut down my super A. I still haven"t replaced the resistor in the wire from the switch, so I push in the kill switch and put the choke on full to choke it off.
Yeah, I know...
Anyway, I didn"t choke it all the way off. When I opened the choke back up, it would speed up, nearly die, spped up, nearly die. You get the picture. She was driving it back up the driveway after pulling out my stuck bucket truck at lunch when it died. Good girl that she is, she remembered to push in the kill switch to save the battery. This evening, I pulled the carb. Had plenty of fuel going into it. I"m thinking stuck float valve. Opened it up, cleaned the valve, blew out the seat. No gas in the floats. Put it back together, and it flooded immediately. When it cranked, it ran for a couple of seconds and died. I pulled it off again and listened for the float to move when I tipped it back and forth. Float was stuck? Bent the floats just "that much" closer together. Put her together and could hear the float move when I tipped it. Started it up and had to choke it. If I keep the choke on about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way, it will run. Open, it dies. In my mind, if I have to cut the air for it to run, that means there"s not enough fuel going in. I got frustrated and thought I"d ask somone who knew.

Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
