Then it coughs and sputters like it's running out of gas until I let off the throttle. New fuel line was run during restoration. I tried different adjustments on the carb. Any ideas?

My only gas moline is a Big Mo 400 M with the round tank. Bryce This post was edited by shinnery at 00:05:37 09/26/12 2 times. [Reply]  [No Email]

This was a nightmare to find... but I would suspect it could even be at the connection points at the new fuel line? well its worth a try. [Reply]  [No Email]

The first few minutes seem perfect? I have the fuel shut off when not using the tractor, it starts fine and runs for several minutes at whatever speed. Then it starts pitching a fit until I cut the throttle. [Reply]  [No Email]
