Did you get it running good enough to actually try using it? Enough to put a load on the engine other than the steering?
I suspect you'll find it's the engine not making sufficient power, not even enough to operate the steering.
With a healthy engine, it would smoke the belt before stalling the engine.
When it is acting up, check the spark at the plug end of each wire. Should get a minimum 1/4 inch spark to ground. If it has points, check them, try an old condenser. Check the distributor shaft for side play, be sure the centrifugal advance is free and working.
Check the fuel pressure and flow to the carb. If it has a mechanical pump, it should give a full stream pulse of fuel every time the pump strokes. Full stream, no dribble or air bubbles. Look for rot cracked fuel lines, fuel residue around the fuel pump. The old hoses and rubber diaphragms don't like ethanol fuel. The lines will rot and collapse internally, shed flakes of rubber. If there is a filter at the carb or in line, you should be able to blow through it with minimal resistance.
