You are basically saying all is OK and yet it does not run correctly. You will have to change your approach to fix it. Do a compression test and compare to specs. If compression is OK, the problem is ignition or carburetion. You you don"t say what"s been done to the ignition if anything. Myself, I don"t usually try to pin-point the problem to fix these engines. I just do a complete tune-up. I would probably install new points, condensor, and spark plug to start with if this has not been done. Points gap must be correct as that controls the ignition timing.
You could upgrade to a magnetic ignition pick-up in lieu of points. Kits are available. The coil is still suspect if it is original and as old as that tractor. But hold on that for now if the spark is good and go back to the carb. You say you"ve been thru the carb but don"t say what you"ve done. Strip the carb completely removing all the jets. Soak all parts 24 hrs in Berryman Chem-Dip carb and parts cleaner. I like Berrymans because it"s good stuff. I think it"s $15 for a galllon soaker. The cheap stuff doesn"t work. Wash all the parts with hot water and detergent after soaking. Rinse in hot water and blow out all orifices with compressed air. Set the low speed (air) adjustment at 1 turn off seat. Set high speed jet at 1 turn off seat. Start and run til up to temperature. Set throttle idle stop to run slowly. Adjust air screw in/out for best running. (in is richer, out is leaner, this is opposite of high speed screw.) Open the throttle lever to wide open (governed speed) and adjust the high speed screw for best running. Out on this screw makes a richer mixture. If all this works it should be fixed. If none of this works, replace the coil. If that doesn"t work, replace the carb. Most cases if the carb is not damaged it is just a simple matter that it is not clean.
You need a good soak and compressed air to clean it.
