: : It sounds like a carburation problem to me, unless its a result of the tractor getting bogged down. you may want to try opening up the needle valve on the carb, and make sure fuel line and sediment bowl are clean. : : : I am attempting to take care of my neighbor's Golden Jubilee ever since her husband died. While using the brush hog, the tractor dies and backfires, but will start back again, sometimes after two tries. It runs for about 5 or 10 minutes and does the same thing again. Any suggestions? I would guess it's the carburetor. If that's the case, can I make an adjustment or am I better off buying a new one. I am mechanically minded, but would like to know if somewone has been here before. Also would be interested in sources of information about taking care (general stuff) of the tractor. Would appreciate any help. : sounds like it's not getting enough fuel into the float bowl Next time it starts to bog down , pull out the choke a little and see if the engine picks up and runs better. If it does you may have some trash in your gas sediment bowl. I have a bit of rust in one of my Jubilees and can stop and and wait for the motor to cool off and clean out the sediment bowl. Be sure not to start the tracort if you spill any gas until it has evapurated from things like the spark plug wires!!!
I put about 5 hours on my Jubilee and found this always works for me. Always use clean fuel and store in a clean container. I also try to keep my fuel topped off when not in use to reduce condensation of water inside the tank. I would start with the fuel delivery system before I tuched the carb. Good luck Cliff
