Super C runs perfectly - then sputters - then runs perfectly

Posted by mr.precision on July 26, 2014 at 06:40:47 from (174.17.154.202):

Just got a 1053 Super C. Tractor ran very poorly when purchased. Changed plugs, points, wires, an rebuilt the Zenith carb. It now starts immediately, idles smoothly, and makes good power.

One thing I cannot seem to correct is an occasional sputter. Usually the tractor warms up with no missing, then occasionally misses at any speed range. The new plugs indicate it is running slightly rich, although no black smoke can be seen.

Compression is 120 on all four cylinders.

I did not reset the float - could this be the problem?

Thanks.
