Hello All:
I just finished up a restoration of a 1941 Allis Chalmers B but have been rather distraught about the way it is running. Before the restoration it ran like a gem! Now, it runs great for 5 - 10 minutes before it begins to die, but then it revs back up to the speed on the throttle, then begins to die, but then it revs back up to the speed on the throttle. Each "wave" is more drastic than the previous, and eventually, after 7 or so of these "waves" it dies. I've tried pushing the throttle up when this happens, and that postpones the "waves" for a few minutes.
Yes, I have the gas on!
No, it is not choked!
Yes, the tractor has gas in its tank!
Is anyone else struggling with the same thing or have heard of something like this happening before? I have already signed this tractor up for a parade at the end of July so I need to get this fixed...sort of fast!
Thank you for any guidance you may supply in this manner!
