Ferg. TE 20 engine problems - Help Needed !

Posted by RWK in WI on February 28, 2002 at 16:17:27 from (169.207.134.169):

I have run into a problem with my Ferg. TE 20.
Last fall the tractor started having periods
where it would seem to loose power for a few
seconds, then catch again and seem fine.
Engine could be cold, warm, or hot. I first
thought it was bad gas and lived with it though
most of the thank and then drained and
checked the flow. Pencil sized stream out of
the line to the carb. Put in new spark plugs,
and fresh gas and the problem got worse.
Loose power sometimes even die or backfire
through muffler. It would always start up again
sometimes using the choke. Spark seems
good but haven’t been able to check spark
when it looses power. Then the starter wernt
out and the tractor was down for about 2
months getting a working starter that would fit.
Now the starter is back in and the stalling
problem remains. It has been 12 Volt for over
10 years, coil, condenser, points, plug wires,
and distributer cap about 18 months ( 100
hours of use ) ago.
Any ideas on where I go from here?
Sorry for the long post.
