Be sure to check for manifold leaks. With the tractor running, spray some starting fluid around the manifold gasket around the two intake ports. If the engine speeds up then you have a leaky manifold gasket. You can also check for valve seat problems buy holding something thin over the exhaust. A dollar bill works great for this test! With the tractor running, the dollar bill should not go down the exhaust at all. You can tell if the exhaust is trying to pull on the dollar or not. If it is then you have valve problems. Do this chek on the intake as well. It should be a constant pull on the bill and at no time try to blow it out. Be sure to take the air breather pipe off and do this test right at the carburetor. Another thing to check for is worn throttle plate pivots. Good luck!
