Our C is tring to die after a minute or so of running. It will almost die then come back then do it again and again until it dies. Whats up? Took fuel filter off thats not it. It starts very easy and runs good until it starts this. Any advice? Thanks Al

Mine did the same thing. Cleaned Carb, checked mag to no luck. I wound up changing the plugs and wires. Im not sure that was the problem, but it is fine now. I cant explain it. It had not run in a couple months, but after I did that it ran ok.

Rebuilding the carburetor is a good idea, and may need to be done. However, first verify that there is a good, steady flow of gas to the carburetor by (safely, with a cold engine) disconnecting the fuel line at the carburetor fitting, and turning on the gas. If there is a steady flow that far, remove the brass inlet fitting from the carburetor, as there is usually a screen extending from the fitting into the carburetor. Clean and reinstall the screen/fitting.

On the bottom of the carburetor, there should be a drain, usually a hex-headed pipe plug. remove the plug, and drain out any rust and water. With the plug out, turn the gas on at the tank, and verify there's a good, steady flow of gas through the carburetor, and out the drain plug. Install the plug, make sure there's no spilled gas around, and try starting the tractor. Hopefully, that will clear up the problem, and no more repairs will be needed!

Sounds like what a 1 cyl lawn mower does. It is either a carb or a governor problem. I would start by disassembling the carb, soaking it in carb cleaner, blowing it out with compressed air, and putting a kit in it. There could be a problem with the weights/springs in the governor, I have not worked on one other than just cleaning, but they are not complicated. It "could" be a restriction in the fuel line or the carb inlet, but usually they just quit when that happens, and will restart because the fuel keeps trickling in.

I have put a new needle and seat in it not very long ago. I drained the carb and it seems to get plenty of gas. I'm thinking the governor may be the problem but I know zero about one. It just seems to smother under a load, just like its not getting enough gas. Thanks Al

If he has a gas carb, there is no adjustable main jet. Your 300 runs better with more fuel because maximum power, and the worst fuel economy, occurs with the main jet turned 5 turns out, provided there was no change in that spec between the Super H and 300. big al -- Im not saying it is not the governor, but wierd things happen if the carb is not absolutely clean. I don't think the needle and seat have anything to do with your problem. That said, I have an H with a clean carb and a rough running engine -- I think I DO have a governor problem in mine.
