I read your post about the pipe and the additional suggestions.
The weather turned here and it"s back to really cold plus we are getting gusts up to 50mph today.
If it calms down later I will check the pipe and see if I can run it with the air cleaner disconnected and see what happens.
My tractor has a loader and normally when it is lifted, the engine should speed up to take the added load. By lifting and lowering the bucket I think it should show me whether the governor is functioning.
When I opened the governor case everything seemed right, so now I have the suspicion that it is either the air cleaner issue or the carburetor or fuel line.
I was wondering though, if you think that the problem could be ignition related? I have a magneto ignition that was totally redone before I bought the tractor. I checked the rotor, cap and points and nothing seems amiss.
I would think that if the ignition was in that bad of shape that it would be really hard to start though.
When I go to start it, I crank it for a few seconds with the choke on. Sometimes it starts then and sometimes it doesn"t. ON the second try I push the choke back in and it always starts up then. If it"s really cold I have to fiddle with the choke for a few minutes to get it running smooth.
I would think that"s pretty good for when the temp is below freezing.
This makes me think I can rule out the ignition but I am a novice with tractors and not 100% sure. Do you think I am right about that?
Thank you for all the help, I"ll see what I can find out later and tell you what happened.
