Neighbor has a MT John Deere that was his Dads. His Dad passed away and the tractor sat for 10 years in a shed.
Neighbor moved back to the farm and is wanting to play with it. He has had the carb rebuilt by a mechanic, but I don't know how well it was done. I assume he did a good job.
The neighbor also installed new points, condensor, cap, rotor, and also coil with a new battery.
The problem is when you start the tractor it runs like a champ for about 15 minutes, then kind of bogs a little here and there, and may run good for 5 minutes or so, then bogs a little, then runs good again, then may start bogging clear down and the gov is trying to give it more gas, but it's not picking up, and may backfire a couple of times, and then seems to pick back up run good for a few more minutes before starting all over.
I have set the carb settings per the book, but have not had the carb apart. Good fuel flow to the carb.
I am leaning towards a bad new condensor, but wondering also if there could be something in the carb not right. Anyone have thoughts? I asked him to get another new set of points and condensor to start, but am open to thoughts.
When the tractor is running good, it runs real good, but as it warms up is when it starts having issues. Thanks a lot - Bob
