Here's the problem with this tractor. It's difficult to start, misses badly, then dies and won't restart. Here's what I've done, carburetor kit, new distributor cap, rotor, points, condensor, rotor. The plugs and wires are 6 months old. I believe it's a 1952. Any suggestions?

check out your intake manifold it may be leaking on the intake

Sounds like bad/corroded electrical connections or maybe even a faililng ignition switch to me.

if you have good blue spark, you may want to check the fireing order. ccw 1243. RP

What does the spark look like?? It needs to be brite blue and jump about a 1/4 inch gap. Plugs even if that new can be bad or fouled out from gas or oil. You also may have a bad coil and if so yep it might start and die then not start for a few hours. But the key here at least to start is what does the spark look like????? ????? ????/
