Hi folks - Tractor starts up fine. Runs well for a minute or few. Then sputters and will die if I don't choke it, but still lurches before quitting. Let it sit for a bit and the routine continues as such. Thinking it's a gas flow problem, gravity fed, I clean the float bowl and fuel filter; gas runs fine, although the float bowl does leak somewhat. (have a replacement)
But wonder if, when heated up, there might be an electrical problem, such as cracked plug or wire or somesuch. But if the latter is true, why would it start and run fine without hiccups for a bit? Hate replacing the float bowl since must drain the gas tank - which is new and was replaced over winter, among other things.
Carb issue? Can probably take it off and have cleaned/rebuilt, but, again, pain in arse. Yer thoughts, wrench?
